Disappointed
The experience did not start off well because we were not given the correct address of this experience. I had planned this specifically because the location was within a 10-minute walking distance of our hotel and the restaurant where we had reservations afterwards. It was only after some back & forth on WhatsApp (at the time the experience was the be starting & no one was opening the door for us) that we were told we were not at the new address, though my confirmation clearly stated the one where we were. So, we had to grab 2 taxis (as there were 6 of us) to get to the new place. There was no apology for the mix up upon our arrival. We booked through "Get Your Guide" so not sure where the issue is, but there is an issue of a wrong address on the confirmation. The experience was fine, but there were 6 of us & only 5 distillation stations, which meant that even though we paid for 6 people, we left with only 5 bottles of gin while two of us shared. Since there were not enough places to accommodate the full party, this should have been brought to our attention prior to arrival and the 6th person should not have to pay full price. Just not the evening I was hoping for.

Fabulous experience for a gin fan!
This was a fantastic experience! I have been a big fan of gin for long and getting to create my own recipe with botanicals and making it was awesome! Very nice premises and the host was great. Really recommend this to anyone interested in diving deeper into gin world 👌

Why this scores 55
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Riga.
How much does Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory cost?
+
Prices start at $113 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Riga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Riga is not rushed.
Is Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Riga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Riga can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Riga and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Riga within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Riga?
+
On Outty we rank every Riga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include 2 countries! Hill of Crosses, Rundale Palace and Bauska castle, Hill of Crosses and Jelgava Tour 2 Countries in 1 Day, Discover Riga Bike Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Riga?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Riga?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory?
+

Where is the meeting point for Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory?
+

What languages is Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Create your own Gin at Riga Gin Laboratory?
+
