An amazing day out, staff were friendly and welcoming and our tour guide was great. Went to the bar after our tour for a drink and the cocktails were delicious. Highly recommend.

Thoroughly enjoyed this tour! Our guide Chloe, was very knowledgeable, funny and attentive to the needs of my elderly parents. I won’t go into lots of detail to spoil the surprise but it is well worth a visit. The food available was really good and the cocktails looked lovely (we only had the tour ticket but you can but cocktails). The offers in the gin shop are great too! Would go again!!

What a great day out, Sat 13th April just attended the Premier Cru Experience at Bombay Sapphire, this was hosted by Callum He was extremley knowledgible regarding the site and the whole process from beginning to end, he made every one in our party of 12 feel at ease immediately he was an excellent ambassador for the brand We started the day in the bar with a Gin/Champagne cocktail before completing a full tour of the site,. We were then treated to an excellent lunch, this was a Spanish style tapas, served in the on site restaurant. Then it was back to the bar for a gin masterclass, we were able to make and sample our own cocktails and left with a bottle of personalised Bombay sapphire gin. The tour started at 11.00am we left site only to sample another G&T in the on site bar. The tour is not the cheapest day out but well with the cost. I would recommend this trip to anyone, but it is so more than a drinking day it is educational and you will learn so much more about the process and how to enjoy a G&T. My only advice would be not to drive

The Bombay Sapphire (gin) Distillery tour was excellent and well worth the money. Starting off with a gin and tonic was a terrific idea (non-alcoholic alternatives were offered) and learning about how the distillery was started, what it does today, and how it’s continuing to evolve was interesting and well presented by a most amenable Guide. The 1-hour Masterclass (optional ) after the tour was a lot of creative fun, and again, non alcoholic alternatives were available. A great day out in a beautiful place…

My family of five treated ourselves to this for my husband’s birthday treat. We were greeted really warmly and directed to the excellent cafe as we were early. Mark took us on a tour. He was really knowledgeable and personable and made sure everyone’s questions were addressed. Marcus then guided us to make two excellent cocktails and created a Negroni for us. Everything was ready and prepared - we just did the fun part! We enjoyed finishing our drinks in the bar where an exciting array of alcoholic and non-alcoholic drinks could be enjoyed. Finally, a good range of fairly priced items could be found in the shop. It was a fantastic experience which I would love to repeat.

Great tour and cocktail masterclass with Mark and Marcus respectively. Informative interesting tour followed by the making of 2 cocktails and the sampling of a third. Good fun!

This was an amazing experience! We were booked on the discovery experience and even before we arrived, they couldn’t have been more accommodating. We had to rearrange twice due to my husband being ill and both times it was easy to change the date. Third time lucky, we arrived at the venue and was greeted by lovely surroundings which is so beautifully maintained. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and the history of the site and efforts that Bombay have made to tie the history into their distillery is amazing. Starting with a tipple was great and really helped with imagining what is happening around the distillery and the smells and flavours. Every part of the tour was interesting and tactile. This was an amazing experience and so totally worth the ticket price (which is very reasonable for a great morning out!)

Amazing Victorian buildings house this modern day gin distillery. Really nice 90 mins tour which explains the history of Bombay London Dry Gin

Had this bought as a 50th birthday present last year Was really excited to visit with my wife yesterday We were not disappointed. Fantastic place to visit. Very good guide (Mark) who’s explanations of the company and history made the visit really interesting Master cocktail class at the end with Marcus was great fun and the cocktails chosen were really tasty

First time there although we’ve been in Hampshire for 20 years! My best mate and I had booked an infusion experience. First we were told lunch was included, to be told ten minutes later that actually it wasn’t. Never mind we preordered and paid, but it would have been nice should it be included. We had a fantastic visit of the site with Robert, who gave us a unique experience. He was so knowledgeable, we were impressed. The visit lasted about an hour. After lunch break, we had a cocktail lesson with Marcus, for over an hour. What a wonderful experience, we have learnt so much (and enjoyed very tasty cocktails 😋) Thank you Robert and Marcus, we throughly enjoyed our day. We ended the day with a quick detour by the shop.
