Home of Manchester Three Rivers Gin and the original ‘Gin Experience’, The City of Manchester Distillery opened its doors in 2016.

Having won a variety of awards for its liquids and experiences, The City of Manchester Distillery is an essential stop on any tour of Manchester.

Whether you’re local or visiting from further afield, a Gin fanatic, Rum aficionado, looking to create your own vodka or to simply enjoy a unique night out. Our team is here to educate, entertain and inform, whilst keeping your glass topped up.

For gin lovers, new comers and anyone in between, this is a unique opportunity to see gin making at is finest and play an active part in the Gin Renaissance.

During the 3-hour interactive experience guests will be guided through the dark and dangerous, weird and wonderful, juniper soaked history of gin. They will then tour the distillery whilst drinking classic and bespoke cocktails, Gin & Tonics and sampling a variety of tasters.

Our Host’s will demystify the gin making process and talk you through how to create a (potentially) award-winning recipe, before moving to ‘The Lab’ where every guest gets the opportunity to make his or her own bespoke bottle of gin from over 50 botanical flavours.
