Sloe Gin Masterclass @ The Glassboat

Sloe Gin Masterclass @ The Glassboat

Join us for a hands-on masterclass this festive season and discover how to make your own sloe gin. Our expert team will guide you through the process, explaining the art and science of this divine drink.

With over 30 years of experience crafting artisan liqueurs, they will share some of our secrets and help you create your very own bottle of sloe gin to take away.
This unique, interactive session will see you taste a selection of different sloe gins, ranging from those just a few months old to a vintage expression that’s been resting on the sloes for five years.|| You’ll get to understand the intricacies of this madly popular drink and taste the effects of time all for yourself. Then you’ll be let loose on some gin, sloes and a Kilner jar as you take in a hands-on lesson in making your very own sloe gin.

This gin experience lasts approximately 1 hour, and is held at our central Bristol venue, The Glassboat, where all required equipment and ingredients will be provided. Once the experience is over, you will be provided with a classic 6 O'clock Gin & Tonic of your choice, to enjoy in the comfortable surroundings of the bar at your leisure. You will also have the opportunity to visit our on-board shop, if you would like to make any purchases.

You can redeem vouchers against the cost of this masterclass, with any balance payable on checkout. We recommend booking transport for this masterclass, to be able to enjoy the full experience.
