Description
Craft a bespoke bottle of gin that’s tailored to your taste, with an Adnams Make Your Own Gin experience. Our Southwold Make Your Own Gin sessions take place in our Gin Lab, located at the heart of the Copper House Distillery. During this fascinating experience, an Adnams Gin Maker will guide you through the process of making your own unique bottle of gin. Following a short tour of the Copper House Distillery to see our full-sized operation, we will scale things down to our mini copper stills and teach you the secrets of distillation.
You will learn how to craft a great-tasting gin, from balancing a wide variety of flavours and aromas to understanding the influence of the distillation process. We will help you develop your own recipe from a wide selection of provided botanicals, and you will go on to distil, fill and name your personal bottle. The experience also includes a tasting session 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 exciting experience lasts approximately 2 to 2.5 hours. As well as the opportunity to create your own full-sized, 70cl bottle of gin to take home with you, you will receive a 10% discount voucher for our Southwold store.

I’ve just spent an informative and unique afternoon taking part in the Gin Experience at Adnams shop in Norwich. Ky was a great host and very knowledgeable with all things gin. Not only did the gin flow but l was expertly guided through the process of making my own gin. I really enjoyed the afternoon, Ky was brilliant and l would 100% recommend this experience.
I had a brilliant time and would thoroughly recommend the whole experience to anyone thinking about doing this for themselves or as a gift for someone else.
Our guide, Sally, was amazing. Such a wealth of information and knowledge, and so much fun with mixing, making, tasting. I can't wait to try 'my' gin in two weeks time.
It was a brilliant birthday gift I will never forget.
The Gin experience was purchased for my daughters birthday and we visited the brewery on Saturday 24th , Daniel was the Adnams host .
Daniel was knowledgeable , fun , a great host and made the 2plus hours a total enjoyment .
We learnt so much about the brewery , the history , the brands and exactly what ingredients went into and made Gin .
Enormous fun and we both got to go home with our own Gin concoction's .
Happy memories , big thanks to Daniel , we both look forward to sampling our Gin experiences later in the year .
Thank you .
Purchased as a gift for my wife. I'm told it was an enjoyable couple of hours, involving a tour of the Southwold distillery and then the actual gin creation. The gin distilling and flavour creation is all done under tuition, with about 10 stills available in the room.
The gin is excellent, I've been lucky enough to try it, and the course sounded great. We are now inspired to look at whether this can be done at home.
There was only one other woman booked on this experience, and she had arrived with her husband just before us at the tour location. I had actually expected to tag along and watch the process, given that the course fee includes a bottle of hand made own recipe gin to take home for the participant. I thought the distilling and gin was the main part of the gift, but no, all of it is exclusively for the ticket holder.
An option to buy myself just a distillery tour as an upgrade would have been appreciated, rather than "you'll not be joining them sir" as the only option. A lost opportunity to sell a tour ticket on the spot to each partner who is sent away.
We really enjoyed our experience from the moment we arrived to the moment we left. Kate was so knowledgable and we learnt a lot about the Gin making process.
We would thoroughly recommend this experience and can't wait to try our Gin.
Thank you to everyone at Adnams for a great afternoon.
