Tastings & Events

Gin Tastings in York

York Gin Tastings in York are a fascinating, fun and delicious introduction to gin. You’ll learn lots, laugh lots – and will develop an appreciation for all the gins you drink in the future too.

We have a range of gin tasting and cocktail making options in the city of York. They really are some of the best things to do in York for gin lovers.

And, if you're looking to organise a special event or want York Gin at your wedding, please email events@yorkgin.com
We can organise a wonderful, personal experience for you.

HEN & STAG PARTIES AND OTHER GROUPS

While the tastings are fun, they are also educational and are not designed for boisterous groups.
If you're looking for a more informal activity for you and your friends, we can definitely arrange this.
Please email events@yorkgin.com with numbers - and we'll give you options and prices.

Other tasting packages

We can organise a private two-hour tasting session for your group.
