If you have any interest in gin and, frankly, even if you don’t, this is a delightful way to spend your afternoon. Nestled atop a bar overlooking bustling Portobello Rd, the space is intimate and charming, and you’ll learn so much about the history of gin-making and its impact on society. We enjoyed meeting fellow enthusiasts and had a delightful time sharing recipes and trying botanicals (Asparagus? Cardamom? Yes, please.) Jess was a fantastic guide and we so enjoyed her knowledge of all-things spirits. A fantastic time all around, and we have 2 unique recipes to tote back with us!

Sign Up for this experience! You learn a lot about gin and its history. You drink a lot. You get creative and create something that appeals to your palate. You walk away (or maybe stumble away) with a full bottle and some other goodies. Hands down it was one of the most fun activities I did on a recent visit to London.
Our leader was Carmen. She was terrific. Knowledgeable about gin and its history. Knowledgeable about how what you put into your bottle will taste together. Answered all of our questions. Gave us lots to sample. In the end we had three full cocktails made for us and a couple of tastes of some of their other gins (like the butter gin) before we got to the tasting of the flavors (the big four plus bold, citrus, spice, and dry). The final tasting was ours...neat and then with some tonic.
Truly a very fun experience. Make sure that you have had a good lunch before hand....and maybe bring along some savory sponges (snacks to sop up the alcohol). We did this on a Sunday, so a proper Sunday Pub Roast was key to our success.

The best vegan burger I’ve ever had. The sweet slaw with the spicy sauce was the perfect combination. The classic G&T and the citrus G&T were fantastic. We’re big Gin fans so this place was perfect for us. There’s also several other options that are delicious. Staff is also super friendly, helpful, and accommodating! Would 100% recommend

I went with 2 friends to the ginstitute to learn about gin including a short history and the chance to understand the blending process as well the chance to create our own gin. You do get gin cocktails and gin and tonics along the way. Do not drive because you won’t be able to drive home! Our instructor, who I think was called Vera, but I remember she was from Lithuania, was excellent. We had a great time. Nearly 4 hours of fun. The staff are all brilliant and it’s smack bang in the middle of Portabello Rd. A great trip and if you like gin this is a really interesting and different thing to do.

Be very careful of gift card expiry dates. The gilded gift card that's sent out does not include an expiry date so the recipient doesn't know how long they have to book the experience. The ginstitute will not honour the gift if it's gone past the expiry they have in their system and will not offer any alternatives.

I will go out on a limb and say this may have been the best London experience we had. If you like Gin, you will not be disappointed.

Such a fun thing to do as a couple who love their gin. The whole experience was as fun as it was informative. Carmen and Roshni looked after us beautifully and we left with our own blended bottle of gin and a host of happy memories. I can't recommend this experience more highly!!

Just a great 3 hour experience learning all about gin - it’s history & how it is made. Plenty of opportunities to taste along the way and of course everyone goes home with their individually made bottle!

Is it still open or has it closed? Tried emailing and calling but unable to contact. Trying to redeem gift vouchers.

Could you enjoy the tour/experience without drinking gin straight, eg mostly sticking to cocktails?
Rédigé le 5 juin 2022
Yes, the drinks they serve during the session are mixed. You need to sample the botanicals to see what you want to blend your bottle with. Once you have your own blend you then sample everyone else’s, you could skip this part or ask for some tonic to mix. It really was a fantastic experience.

I’ve booked an experience, but I’d like to eat beforehand. Is there restaurant on site?
Rédigé le 20 août 2019
Yes, on the second floor there is a Tapas style Resturant which is pretty good.
Definable eat something, you will be offered about 5 different gin drinks as you go through the history of gin; afterwards you and about a dozen or so other people will go in another room and flavor gin to take with you. You will have an opportunity to sample each other’s flavored gin. If you are a visitor and want to take the gin back to your home country, plan ahead and bring the appropriate packaging. You will also leave with a fifth of their gin as well. You will have a good time. Enjoy!!

Does each guest make their own flavour of gin ? or is it one blend that everyone in the group gets to take home a bottle of ?
Rédigé le 17 octobre 2018
Each guest tastes 17 botanicals, and out of this you're advised to choose 6 (I think) - one dry, one spicy, one sweet and three others. Your own bottle of gin is made from these, but before sealing the bottle everyone gets to taste each other's, so that if someone's come up with a particular blend that you like, you can order a bottle of their blend.
Everyone in the room agreed that they preferred mine - which I'm sure was pure luck - but if you want to try it, be my guest. You can order a bottle of no. 29091. #
You leave with an individual bottle of your own concoction, plus a bottle of Portobello Gin. So my wife and I left with four bottles

We are booked in for the Gin experience on a Saturday afternoon how long does it last thank you

Hi we are coming on a Saturday afternoon for the Gin Experience how long does it last please - thank you
Rédigé le 15 juillet 2018
About 3 - 3,5 hours. Depends a bit on the interaction within the group.
Rédigé le 17 juillet 2018
How much will it cost please
Rédigé le 13 mars 2018
We paid £120 each, but you get 2 bottles of gin to take away and you get 4 gins during the experience
Rédigé le 14 mars 2018
Hi
When you say share the drinks - do you mean with your friend/partner or the entire group? I ask because another reviewer mentioned everyone tasting from a shared glass. I was thoroughly intending booking this until I read about that - it is just so unhygienic and would put me off the tour. Can you please clarify?
Many thanks
Rédigé le 5 février 2018
Hi it is a shared glass throughout the whole group. They pass round each botanical for you to try....think there was 12 of us.
Rédigé le 19 mars 2018
Hey there, does each person get to make their own gin, want to go with my boyfriend but was wondering if it's a group effort gin (meaning you might get one you don't like!) or if it's your own choice x
Rédigé le 24 octobre 2017
Yes each person has their own made and receives a bottle to take home
