If like me you enjoy a tipple of gin and you decide to visit Stirling Gin Distillery may I suggest that you do Not pre book your ticket. Parking is difficult to say the least and in a Motorhome is impossible. I was on holiday in the area so booked a tour on the website. Nowhere does it mention that parking may be difficult. I never made it to the distillery and was very disappointed it was supposed to be the last stop before returning home

I have been on this distillery tour 3 times and it is phenomenal !! The actual building is quite small so you get to see where they make the gin at the end but the real tour includes being able to drink through all of their gins ! They had 7 gins that we were able to taste, a few were liqueurs but they were all delicious! It’s definitely plenty of drink! They also provide a cocktail that is so amazing as well as a glass to mix all of the gins with tonic or sprite if you need! Our guide Erin was so knowledgeable and funny it was a blast. I recommend this to anyone from or spending time in Stirling !

Very enjoyable visit, although it's a tough walk from the town centre.
Plenty of gin to sample, and in decent measures.
I would recommend a taxi up and back!
Well worth a visit.

Kate was a great tour guide, full of facts and humour. Really interesting and the range of gins you get to try is great. Might even bring the hubby next time.

What a fabulous way to spend a few hours. Sipping 7 gins with an amazing story for each beautifully told by our host Rachel. Informative and funny washed down with some tasty Stirling Gins. Would definitely recommend.

Had a great time on the Whisky tour with the very knowledgeable Ben.
We learnt a lot of great facts and tips about Whisky. It was a great way to spend an afternoon and the tasting was superb. Interesting tour around the distillery. Thanks Ben for a great time!

My husband and I participated in the old smiddy gin school. It was a birthday gift from friends. We were made to feel very welcome from the moment we arrived. Rachel was a great host.
Big thanks to Kieran who ran the gin school he was so friendly and knowledgeable and made it a really fun day. There was also plenty of opportunity to sample the amazing gins. We enjoyed all parts of the class and were delighted to take home our own bottle of gin that we made. All staff were very attentive and looked after us well. We had a great day and would definitely recommend this to family and friends.

I was only offered a glass of water instead of the welcome drink and free sample as stated on booking for drivers. When I emailed to complain they only offered 10% off a return visit.
The place is tiny with not much to see therefore I have no desire to return. I would certainly not recommend.

We had a great afternoon at the Gin School learning to make our own gin. Megan made us feel very welcome. She was friendly and attentive throughout, as were the rest of the team. Would definitely recommend.
