About the Experience
 
This is more than a simple gin tasting. It’s an entertaining journey through flavours, history and the curious stories surrounding this much-loved spirit.

Your experience begins with a full York G&T, traditionally featuring York Gin’s award-winning London Dry paired with Fever-Tree Light tonic. Lemonade or another available mixer can be requested if preferred.
 
Your York Gin expert will then introduce a selection of generous tasters from the brand’s range. As you sample each one, you’ll learn how to identify different aromas and flavours, pick up useful tasting techniques and hear about gin’s remarkable history, legends and myths.

A small selection of nibbles provides a break between drinks, while the relaxed and friendly atmosphere makes the session enjoyable whether you’re already a gin enthusiast or completely new to tasting.

At the end of the experience, choose your favourite gin for a second full G&T or alternative mixer. You’ll also receive 10% off anything purchased at the event, making it easy to take a bottle of your winning flavour home.
