Bombay Sapphire Distillery Guided Tours
On a Discovery Experience which is fully guided, visitors can discover not only the origins of the Laverstoke Mill but also how it has been carefully transformed into a state-of-the-art distillery. The Gin Cocktail Masterclass sees guests learning how to create delicious concoctions.
The Dakin Still House allows guests a peek into the fascinating processes running behind the scenes at the mill such as the Vapour Infusion distillation. Here ten vibrant, plant-based botanicals are distilled to create every precious drop of Bombay Sapphire. Following this, visitors will be enchanted when they are welcomed to explore the stunning glasshouses onsite where the exotic botanicals are grown.
After delving into the mysterious crafting secrets of Bombay Sapphire, one of the most anticipated parts of the tour happens in the Dry Room where guests will discover their unique personal taste profile. To complete the tour, visitors can take a break from the stresses of modern life and feel tension melt away at the Mill Bar where a complimentary cocktail is professionally crafted.
The Mill Bar is built covering two separate levels, the mezzanine and the terrace, where visitors can enjoy one of the thirst quenching cocktails (non-alcoholic cocktails are also available). The bar mezzanine overlooks the beautiful scenery of the River Test which thanks to the efforts of Bombay Sapphire is a natural habitat for Herons, Swans, Brown Trout, and many more creatures.
