What a fabulous experience. Booked this for my friends 40th Birthday and we had a brilliant time. A mixture of informative, practical, fun and a good few drinks samples . We opted for the rum experience. David is so knowledgeable and a great person who made this such a fun interactive experience. Andrea brilliant also. I highly recommend this to others, do not hesitate to book. Thank you so much:)
We did the rum making day. Really interesting day, tried some really nice drinks and produced our own bottle of rum made to our own recipe which amazingly is really nice. A well organized day, nice lunch and just the right amount of facts and fun. Would recommend a really good day.
Had a really great day distilling my own Rum. Dave and the team are genuinely enthusiastic, insightful and passionate about what they do and make you feel very welcome alongside helping you with your creation Also, anyone who's into Gin, Rum or Vodka would be hard pressed to find better than Nelson's, no wonder they are so award winning! 100% recommend and will definitely be back to make another creation!
Had a fantastic day making Gin. Very knowledgeable and lots of fun and laughter. Refreshments on the day very much appreciated and good quality. Lunch was beautiful, flavoursome and fresh. Highly recommend getting a nearby hotel so you don't have to drive so you can make the most of your experience
We did the Distillery school experience for two which was really well put together. The staff, facilities and experience were amazing. The whole day is packed from started to finish. The drinks and food are endless and very well presented all the way along. Worth every penny and one of the best things we have done. Highly recommended to anyone thinking of doing the experience no matter what the occasion.
A Christmas present from my son this was a spectacular success. Andrea and Rebecca welcomed us even though we arrived half hour early. David was informative and engaging keeping the day entertaining and fun with plenty of samples. Our ladies went to a nearby spa which they loved too. I would highly recommend this to anyone with an interest in Gin or Rum.
