Nelson’s Gin & Vodka School is a learning, teaching and tasting academy for connoisseurs of gin and vodka, or those who simply wish to know more.
Each one day Gin & Vodka School Experience plays host to a maximum of twenty-eight students. Their day is spent in a unique environment, learning about the creation of superlative gin or vodka. At the same time, they are able to bring personal taste and preferences to the creation of their own unique, signature spirit.
At the end of the day, guests leave with their own 70cl bottle of gin or vodka, made from botanicals and flavours of their choice. These can be taken from our large and inspiring selection or if preferred, brought from home. Some students collect botanicals on their travels far and wide, distilling the memory of adventure into a gin or vodka that reflects their own free spirit.
A record of each student’s individual botanical blend is carefully filed for future reference. Should you wish to order further bottles of your own unique gin or vodka, for personal consumption or to give as a gift, your blend is just a phone call or email away.

The Itinerary
The Gin & Vodka School Experience Day starts at 10.00am with coffee.
Following an introduction to the day, we start with a tour of the distillery, viewing our main still called ‘Victory’ and learning about the process of making gin and vodka as well as the botanicals and flavours used in Nelson’s Gin.
Armed with insight, students reveal the botanicals and flavours for use in their own gin or vodka.
At 11.30 am, the process of distilling commences. Each student has their own mini-still in which to work. Students then relax with an ice cold Nelson’s G&T.
At 12.15pm, there is a break for a leisurely lunch whilst listening to a talk on the history of gin.
By 2.00pm, students begin to bottle and label their own gin or vodka before sealing with wax to take home with them. At this point you are able to purchase a bottle of Nelson’s Gin for comparison.
3.00pm, the day draws to a natural close.
