York Distillery, located in York, England, is a boutique distillery and tasting venue offering hands-on gin workshops, guided tastings and a speakeasy-style bar. The distillery’s programme includes make-your-own-gin workshops where participants take part in a guided tasting, learn the history of gin, select botanicals from the on-site garden and distill a personalised 700ml bottle to take home.
