A fantastic way to spend time on an afternoon in Stockport.
We were gifted a gin tasting experience so didn’t really know what to expect. On arrival we were served a delicious drink by our guide Vanessa. When all the group had their gins and were ready, Vanessa gave us a talk on the history of gin and told us how Stockport Gin came about, this was so interesting. Next, we moved into the distillery and along with finding out about the distilling process we tasted the different gins. When we were done, we had another G&T and had the opportunity to buy some of the gin. It was a fantastic way to spend time on a wet, windy afternoon in Stockport.

🍸 Stockport Gin Tour – An Absolutely Brilliant Experience! 🍸
🍸 Stockport Gin Tour – An Absolutely Brilliant Experience! 🍸 What an amazing time we had on the Stockport Gin Tour! 🥂 We had the lovely Vanessa talking us through everything gin, and honestly, I don’t think I’ve ever laughed so much! 😂 The whole experience was fun, entertaining and full of fascinating knowledge. We loved hearing all the stories behind the gin, the people involved and how it all began. You can really feel the passion that goes into what they do. We also loved hearing about the founders being such huge Stockport County fans and the fantastic support they’ve shown the club. 💙🤍 It’s brilliant to see a local business with so much love for Stockport and its community. And of course, the gin itself was amazing! 🍸 I’d happily take a bottle or two home! 😉 If you’re looking for something different to do, whether with friends, as a group outing or just for a good laugh, I would 100% recommend the Stockport Gin Tour. Great gin, great stories, fantastic company and plenty of laughs. What more could you ask for? ❤️ Thank you, Vanessa, for such a brilliant experience. We absolutely loved it! 🥂

Wealth of information, great gin
My wife, Fiona, and I attended the tour, which had been a gift from our children. It was a great evening session, with the opportunity to taste some of the high quality gin produced here, and to see where and how it is created. Paul was a great presenter, and knows everything about the history and production of this drink. We battered him with tricky questions, and he passed with flying colours. We were especially impressed with the entrepreneurship of Paul and Cheryl, and the risks they were prepared to accept to set up a business. We also loved their true connection to Stockport, specially their love of County! Support this venture - it is a great story, and a great set of products!

great evening out
Our daughter purchased this tour for my husband for his birthday and it was a great gift. The three of us attended and it was good fun. The owner gave a very informative, relaxed talk about the history of gin whilst we enjoyed 2 of their gins then we visited the distillery and had the process explained. A tasting of a variety of their gins followed. A thoroughly enjoyable evening
Response from the operator: We are glad you enjoyed the experience at our distillery! Thanks for taking the time to leave us a review and we hope to see you again soon!

Great afternoon with friends and an enthusiastic host!
Huge thanks to Paul for an excellent visit; it was very informative but light hearted. Went with a group of friends to celebrate a retirement from the Ambulance Service after 23+ years … well deserved gin or 2!! We had a great afternoon and would highly recommend it. Already talking about a return visit to mix our own!!!
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for coming to join us. It was a pleasure to host you for your celebrations and we are delighted you enjoyed it! We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

Why this scores 78
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Manchester.
How much does Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $41 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Manchester usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Manchester is not rushed.
Is Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 78 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Manchester, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience?
+
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 Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience?
+
Around 13 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 Manchester 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 Manchester and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience 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 Manchester 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 Manchester?
+
On Outty we rank every Manchester experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Manchester Afternoon Walking Tour with local guide Gareth, Alcotraz Prison Cocktail Experience in Manchester, Step Inside the Game Show–The Crystal Maze Experience Manchester. 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 Manchester?
+
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 Manchester?
+
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 Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience?
+
The meeting point is our distillery on St Petersgate in the heart of Stockport Town Centre. Doors open 15 minutes before the scheduled start time. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience offered in?
+
It runs in 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 Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Stockport Gin Distillery Tour and Tasting Experience wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible; and Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
