A wonderful experience - A birthday present from my daughter and something the two of us could enjoy together. Such a welcoming atmosphere and a small group which meant we were able to ask questions easily. The host was friendly, engaging, knowledgeable and entertaining. The gins were just great and so good to know the background story to this company which really makes it all more authentic.

Have I mentioned our Award Winning Gins yet? - Great experience,
Even the designated driver got to join in with a Alcohol free gin to start, and was able to interact as we all apart from the actual tasting part, but brought home a couple of miniatures and tonics for later. Great to hear the History, and the owners dedication, most surprising was how you expect a scale of things, and can be very pleasantly surprised, our Host Helen was great, made sure we remembered that these are Award winning Gins. I could recommend this enough and have already told friends and family they should go to.

Fantastic interesting unique place! - What a find! We had a hugely fun and informative time with Helen on our Gin distillery tour and tasting. I had no idea this unique place existed and as gin lovers, Sky Wave is the most fabulous tipple! We went away with several bottles of gorgeous gin ready for the festive season. As we finished our time there the bar opened and the mixologist Joe gave us a taste of a cocktail he invented 10 out of 10. We will be back to enjoy the bar and I now follow on Insta in order to experience their other fun events through the year - Fantastic interesting unique place!
