We had an absolutely amazing experience…
We had an absolutely amazing experience at the Exeter Gin Tour. The local family were passionate about showing how they make their product and they made us all feel so welcome.
The tasting area upstairs was fantastic and we just didn't want to leave . The story behind the gin names and taste were inspirational.

Absolutely fantastic experience
I was given this experience as a gift and I would 100% recommend it. From the minute I booked a date (with help from Rebecca at Exeter Gin), right through to the experience itself, the customer service was exceptional. Karen and Mick were amazing hosts and really genuine and very interesting people. Actually making the gin was brilliant fun and the tasting was really great, especially after learning about how the gins had been made. I have already recommended this to friends and family and will definitely be retuning myself. This is the sort of small family business we need more of in the UK! I had such a lovely day, I can’t speak highly enough of it.

Genius gin!
Last September,I treated my son,his girlfriend and myself to an afternoon at your gin school. It was a wonderful experience! The hospitality was warm and welcoming and the drinks flowed generously.
I have recommended the visit to all my family and friends.

Highly recommended!
We did the Gin Tour & Tasting and had a fantastic afternoon out, Karen & Mick were so welcoming and gave us a real feel for the business, the tastings were generous and it was really interesting to see the gin making process. Highly recommended! We're going to go and try gin making next time.

Fabulous tasting, great fun and very informative.
The owners are informative and delightful. A very enjoyable tasting of 7 Gins and a Rum. I'm not a lover of Gin as a rule and had this tasting for a present but I came out with a full bottle of Strawberry Gin and several tasters. The Rum is excellent drizzled over ice cream with a few strawberries on the side as a dessert. The only drawback is 12pm for the tasting, it is far too early to be drinking and we all felt the same. No choice, as that's the only time they do it. I would have preferred to do it any time from 3pm. Great experience though and would highly recommend. Just make sure you realise its in Teignmouth and not Exeter.

Must go!
Fantastic gin tasting, learnt so much from distilling and blending to tasting and what a difference different mixers made. Can’t recommend enough. Lovely team, thanks Karen and Mick.

Gin Tour and Tasting. Exeter Gin
At first I had doubts as from the outside it was a small unit on an industrial site just a short distance from Teignmouth centre. However once inside we were made to feel very welcome. We had a talk from Mick all about gin and distilling and were shown the production from start to finish. Then we went upstairs which was a complete transformation into a private gin club. Very colourful and inviting. We had a great time sampling 7 gins and 1 rum all made by this family run business. The history of the business was backed up with enthusiastic stories from Karen about family members. Very enjoyable. We then took away a double gin and tonic of our choice to enjoy down at the beach.
Fantastic Rum
Bought as a gift to my husband after supporting me through my degree at Exeter University. Really quick delivery and fantastic tasting rum. Thank you!
