What you can expect

  • Step into the world of craft distillation at Piston Distillery in Cheltenham. Begin your experience by meeting your distiller and enjoying a Piston & Tonic before settling down at one of the 12 copper still workstations.

    Learn about the history and heritage of gin, from its origins in the early 1600s to its recent resurgence. Discover the magic that happens inside your still to create gin, and how to correctly use the equipment for optimum results.

    Get hands-on as you smell, touch, and taste your botanicals to understand what works well together. Experiment with unique combinations or keep it simple to create your bespoke flavour.

    Finally, bottle your completely unique creation and name it with your own customised Piston Gin School label. Taste test it to see how it stacks up to the distillery's own gin.

    Enjoy another drink with your own concoction and take the rest home to impress your guests.
