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!

Excellent experience close to Torquay - Amazing experience and customer service. Offered us a coffee on arrival. Good tuition for first time gin makers. They also came round with a couple of gins to drink during the brewing. Close to Torquay and easily commutable. Very memorable. You even get to name your own gin to take home.
