Went to Exeter Gin as a birthday present. Very friendly atmosphere and we learnt a lot about the gin making process as it’s history. The story behind Granny Garbutts gin was great as were the tastings of the 6 gins. Bought a bottle of Grandads Revenge and Viking Gin. A great experience.

First class experience
Karen and Mick made us feel so welcome, nothing was too much trouble. Their knowledge and skills were excellent and I’m full display. They created a relaxed environment which was fun but we also learnt a lot about the art of gin making plus we came away with two rather super gins we made. Thank you - brilliant afternoon has by all. Fully recommend this to anyone.

The most amazing experience!
Had the most amazing afternoon distilling our own gin with my boyfriend!! We went to celebrate our two year anniversary and it was perfect: such a lovely space, Karen and Mick were wonderful hosts and the gin was delicious. Distilling our own was a really special experience, I learnt lots about gin making and am keen to go again! Can’t recommend enough

Without a doubt the best gin school
Without a doubt the best gin school and making session I've been to, all made better sampling one of the best gins I've tried.
Karen and Mick made our event fun, personal and extremely enjoyable.
Well worth a visit!!

Great service and great gin!
Ordered some Strawberry & Lime gin as a birthday present for my sister. Time was a bit tight but it actually arrived early! Great service and the gin went down very well too! Top result!

Had the most fantastic experience at Exeter Gin. Very easy booking system and a warm and friendly welcome from the owners. Thoroughly enjoyed the tour which was very informative and interesting. Had a blast at the tasting session. Before I arrived, I admitted to my friend that I didn’t like Gin, well what can I say? I have been converted. The flavours were stunning, to be honest it was hard to choose a favourite but I decided to buy a bottle of Ivaar The Boneless as it packs a punch and I loved the bottle it was presented in. Will definitely be back for more.

Brilliant experience to be repeated!
Had a fabulous afternoon at the gin school. Learned about the history of the business and how to make gin and how they diversified rapidly at the start if the covid pandemic. Also drank a lot of gin and was given the opportunity to taste the different varieties and could really taste the difference. Yesterday I truly understood the value of a quality gin. Will definitely visit again, was great fun and delicious! Thank you guys for a brilliant afternoon.

Great experience
We had a wonderful time at Exeter Gin. Understanding the history which led to the idea and ethos, as well as how the products are made. All backed up with a wonderful tasting session. Thank you.
A nice gift; learning to make gin.
I'd been given two gin school vouchers (a birthday present).
The hosts were very welcoming; they explained the history of the company, of gin & how it’s made.
We were able to pick ingredients (botanicals) & make our own gin. I enjoyed this experience; a treat I'd recommend.
