York Gin Distillery at Middletons Hotel
We are thrilled to announce that we have partnered with York Gin to open a brand-new distillery right here at Middletons Hotel, in the heart of York city centre. Formerly located at the iconic 16th century York Gin shop, York Gin Distillery has now found its new home within our beautiful hotel.
Join us for a unique adventure at the gin school where you can learn all about the art of gin making. Satisfy your tastebuds with an incredible gin tasting experience, learn how to get creative and craft your very own unique gin or up your mixology game with a cocktail making class.
Book your spot now and come enjoy a day filled with delicious drinks, great company and plenty of gin.
Find out more about our experiences below.
The gin-tasting experiences provide a welcome G&T, tasters of the full York Gin range and a final G&T using the guest’s favourite York Gin flavour. The experiences also include hints and tips on mindful tasting and a potted history of gin – including the weird and wonderful myths and legends that surround the spirit.
You will be guided through the basics of distillation, how to taste your favourite spirit like a professional – and you will make your very own unique spirit, blending and mixing botanicals until you find the perfect combination for you. You will walk away with your own unique bottle. And you can order the exact same bottle again!
Learn the science and art of mixing perfect cocktails and then make some classics yourself. A thoroughly entertaining couple of hours, learning new skills and knowledge and putting them to use in the most wonderful way possible – making delicious cocktails to enjoy with friends in a beautiful setting.
