Gin Experiences

Experiences at Hensol Castle Distillery
Located in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan you’ll find South Wales’ first full scale gin distillery, visitor experience, gin school and bottling plant, all distilling nicely in the cellars of the 17th century Hensol Castle.

Gin Distillery Tour & Tasting
In a nutshell our tour lasts about an hour and a half and you’ll be treated to a story-filled guided journey of the distillery learning all about the history of Hensol Castle, the origins of gin, the wonders of botanicals and our distilling process, but always making sure there’s still plenty of time left for the all important gin tasting!
