Pickering's Gin Distillery Tours
On the hunt for a proper gin distillery tour in Edinburgh? You’ve come to the right place – the home of Pickering’s Gin, no less. We’ve got not one, but two cracking tours to choose from.
First up is our Pickering’s Gin Jolly Tour – a firm fan favourite. You’ll hear the tale of how Pickering’s came to be, peek behind the scenes at our working distillery, and taste your way through our award-winning gin. Jolly by name, jolly by nature.
Fancy something more historical? Try the Pickering’s Gin Chronicles Tour. You’ll still get the full distillery experience, but this one dives into the fascinating (and frankly, bonkers) history of gin. Naturally, there’ll be a Pickering’s tasting and a proper cocktail involved too.
Can’t decide? Scroll on down for more details – or treat yourself to both and we’ll pop 20% off at checkout.
