Gin-credible Experience - Highly Recommended - This was a thoroughly enjoyable experience and one that I would highly recommend to any gin lovers. The setting was welcoming; Paul was incredibly knowledgeable and kept us supplied with G&Ts throughout and then, at the end, we both left with our own, personalised gin. The whole experience, from beginning to end, brilliant.

Fantastic Afternoon at The Gin Nest - Had a brilliant time at the Gin nest in Torquay and had a talk about gin, it's history and how to make it. Very friendly staff and we didn't leave sober! Offered gin and tonics and different wines to try. Looking forward to trying our own gin and the bottle of wine and gin that we bought. Would highly recommend the Gin nest and we will look to come back in the future.

A wonderful introduction to distilling gin - We were lucky because my husband and I were the only ones in this class. It was the first of many gin classes we would take throughout the U.K. Paul was our instructor. He was passionate, friendly and knowledgeable. We learned so much and smelled many botanicals to add to our gin recipe in the few hours we were there. Paul made us a few gin and tonics. My husband doesn’t like to drink but he was a good sport to do the class and he actually enjoyed the gin and tonic Paul made for us. When we finished distilling our gin we were quite pleased with our creations. Great way to enjoy a few hours

A must-do if you're in Torquay. - My wife and I were taken to The Gin Nest as an anniversary present by friends who live it Torquay and it is quite simply a brilliant way to spend an afternoon or evening. Such good fun that, for some reason, gets more and more fun as the time passes. You need to go to find out why! :-) (Hint: not all the gin you take home is in a bottle!) A special mention to Jordan, our hostess for the event, who was lovely. Looking forward to doing it again next time we're in Torquay!

It was gin-credible - My partner took me on a surprise trip to Torquay for my birthday to the gin making experience - it was amazing! From learning how gin is made, to choosing our flavours, we came away with our own unique bottle. Paul was great! very knowledgable and made the session engaging! I would recommend this experience to anyone, whether as a couple or in a group. Thank you very much!

Amazing - This was an excellent birthday present. Two of us made a bottle of gin. We were lucky and only one other person doing the experience. Andy was very helpful about which botanicals work or would be overpowering. Started with a complimentary drink at the bar, whilst making and after. Fascinating experience and delicious gin at the end!
