Step through a low wooden door into a warm tasting room and the scent of juniper and citrus rises to meet you. Copper stills gleam behind glass and a sympathetic guide walks you past racks of botanicals — hedgerow berries, nettles, and citrus peels — each with a story tied to the nearby River Wye. The tasting table waits: a generous G&T and several smaller pours that invite you to compare subtle floral and earthy notes.
