Welsh Gin Distillery Tour
Just outside Cardiff in the heart of the Vale of Glamorgan countryside you'll find a gin distillery brewing nicely in the cellars of the 17th century Hensol Castle. The combination of the historic Castle together with the modern vibes and fun nature of gin, creates a truly distinctive experience.
Visitors will be treated to a story-filled guided tour of the distillery learning all about the history of Hensol Castle, the origins of gin, the wonders of botanicals and the distilling process but always making sure there's still plenty of time left for the all important gin tasting!
