About
For all gin fans out there, a very warm welcome awaits you at Crafty Distillery in gorgeous Galloway to join us on a unique tour for your taste buds, where we’ll also share the secrets of our process.
Meet our friendly team as you are guided through our innovative approach to making our award-winning gins and vodka, learning each step of the process, driven by our uniquely inclusive approach ‘to create spirits for everyone who likes a tipple’. You will discover the unique blend of botanicals that come together to create our heavily awarded Hills & Harbour Gin, the hands on approach that goes into capturing the big fresh flavours from Smoked Pineapples & Burnt Oranges and the slow and careful that crafts our exquisitely pure Scottish vodka.
What’s more, we always go the extra mile at Crafty, so rather than serve a few small gin samples, we’ll take you on a guided tasting through 3x perfect serves of their spirits. You’ll get to enjoy our smooth & vibrant Hills & Harbour Gin, fruity Hills & Harbour Distilled Gin Cocktail and our silky pure 24Seven Vodka, all while kicking back and enjoying the amazing views over the Galloway hills.
We also cater for vehicle drivers who can take away a sample to enjoy later.
There’s a good reason why Crafty Distillery is awarded 5 stars on Trip Advisor and Visit Scotland. Come and see for yourself and book a one-of-a-kind tour.
Visitors must be 18 years and over to consume alcohol or be offered a sample (ID may be required).
