Description

Gin School & Distilling Academy

An all-inclusive experience including a historical adventure, botanical exploration, special gin tastings, a charcuterie board, & drinks throughout. All ending with your own bottle of spirit, crafted and distilled by you!

On arrival, you’ll be greeted with a welcome drink then learn about Stillgarden, the local history, the botanicals and the distillation process, followed by a visit to our community garden. Along the way, you’ll get to sample a variety of our tasty spirits. Later on, make and name your own bottle of spirit (gin, vodka, even a sambuca style if that’s your tipple) using our wall of 120 botanicals. While it’s distilling,  there’ll be a hands-on cocktail masterclass in our Speakeasy, Lab8. 

Tickets include: welcome drink (G&T or Stillgarden Spritz), plus 2/3 more drinks, 4 gin tasting flights, cocktail class (and cocktail), a charcuterie board and of course your bottle of handcrafted recipe gin/vodka. 

The experience itself is more like a show than a regular distillery tour. Perfect for rainy days but also sunny days as the terrace gets the sun all day!

If you have a look at our Google or TripAdvisor reviews you’ll see how much people enjoy it.

Boozy sciencey fun! What a fun experience! Learned all about the distillery—I love their story, their sustainability & of course their gin! We had a welcome cocktail (their version of an aperol spritz), then made two delicious cocktails with some fun twists that I won’t spoil. Jake was an amazing host & clearly knows his science behind the process. We stayed for more cocktails afterward and enjoyed the conversation with our bartender Raven. Highly recommend for a date night or group outing!
Ps we didn’t have pizza, but you can order from Rascal’s next door and have it delivered while you enjoy your drinks.

Great Experience This experience was exciting and my friend and I enjoyed it very much. As a community gardener, I loved the community garden back story. I even got to sip the infamous chicken fillet roll gin! I'll be back to taste the Christmas special!

Unique experience for any gin enthusiast This unique experience was exceptional. A blend of chemistry, history, and mixology. The cocktails flowed while we learned about gin and hand crafted our own bottle. I highly recommend.

Hidden Gem - Awesome Class This is a hidden gem in Dublin. What a wonderful find! The class was well done, the drinks were delicious, and the staff are incredibly kind. It's also just a nice little place to hang out and relax, even if you're not taking the class.

Brilliant tasting experience! We came in for the gin tasting on Saturday afternoon as a group of 5 girls. We had the absolute best time, Joey was very knowledgable and passionate about the gin and the session was really interesting! The welcome drink and gins were delicious as were the cocktails afterwards in the bar upstairs! Would definitely recommend this over the other alcohol tastings available in Dublin. This is a small independent place and the tasting is much more personal than the ones elsewhere, plus the gin is excellent! Thanks for a great afternoon guys!
