Pickering's Gin Distillery Tours
If you're looking for a classic gin distillery tour in Edinburgh, you've come to the right place! We have two different distillery tours on offer.
First is our bestselling Pickering's Gin Jolly Tour, which focuses on our gin production, the story behind Pickering's Gin, touring the facility, and tasting delicious gin. Next up, we have our Pickering's Gin Chronicles Tour. This still has a tour of our hand-built gin distillery, but you'll learn more about the history of gin while sampling Pickering's Gin and sipping a delicious cocktail.
If you're unsure which tour is the best fit for you, you can find out more details on each of these tours below. Or when you book both, you get a 20% discount at checkout.
