You will get to look behind the scenes in the Copper House Distillery and follow the distillation process from grain to glass. You’ll discover and explore in detail, how we make our award-winning vodka, gin, and whisky in our beautiful copper stills. You also get some of the best views in Southwold from our panoramic distillery windows, so don’t forget your camera. Each tour is followed by a tasting showcasing our spirits range, including a selection of our best-loved brands, and any current seasonal releases available at the time of your visit.

This fun and informative experience will last approximately 1.5 hours and at the end of your experience, you will receive a voucher for our Southwold store, to claim a free memento of your day.

Useful Information, please read before booking:

The Distillery Tours depart from the Adnams Tours Centre, located in The Swan Courtyard, on Market Place, Southwold IP18 6EG – accessed through the archway adjacent to The Swan entrance.

This experience is suitable for those aged 18 or over.

Adnams Distillery Tours are unsuitable for visitors in a wheelchair and are a challenge for those with reduced mobility. Our distillery is located on the top floor of our old brewery building and the tour route involves lots of walking, steep staircases and standing for extended periods of time.

Adnams Tours are subject to a minimum attendance policy. Should this affect your booking, we will contact you directly and will always endeavour to move you to an alternative and viable tour where possible.

We do not usually distil at weekends. If you wish to see the distillery during operational hours, we recommend a visit during the week. Weekend tours are still great fun, but the distillery is likely to be quieter.

A soft drink or low-alcohol option is available for those not drinking on the day. Please contact us if you have any specific dietary requirements you wish to discuss.

Useful information before attending your tour and please share with your party:

All visitors entering our site must wear fully enclosed shoes that cover both toes and heels; flip-flops and sandals are not allowed. Please avoid high or pointed heels, as there are slatted metal staircases to negotiate.

All visitors are supplied with a high visibility vest to wear for the duration of their tour.

The distillery can get quite warm so please bring a refillable water bottle.

Our tours have been awarded the TripAdvisor Certificate of Excellence and have also made the TripAdvisor Hall of Fame for consistently good reviews.
