New Gin Experiences Offering Afternoon Tea with a Cocktail

A leading Warwickshire distillery is hoping a series of new ways to enjoy craft gin and other spirits will help it serve up a double on last year’s visitor numbers after a flying start to 2023.

Warwickshire Gin Company has launched a pair of new spirit experiences as it looks to welcome 2,000 visitors to its distillery and event space on Neilston Street in Leamington – doubling the number of visitors that flocked for gin tasting events last year.

Almost 800 people have been or are due to visit Warwickshire Gin Company by the end of May this year, and now visitors will have the chance to enjoy a Gin Afternoon Tea and a Cocktail Experience, on top of their popular tasting experience.

The Warwickshire Gin Cocktail Experience includes a welcome drink followed by three further classic cocktails all made using the distillery’s own gin, rum or vodka.

The Gin Afternoon Tea, which will include a welcome drink, drink of choice, and a selection of cakes and sandwiches is set to launch in May, with a range of bespoke packages and corporate events also available.

Dave Blick, owner of Warwickshire Gin Company, is hoping that the launch of the new packages will encourage even more people to visit and spend time in the distillery, which uses traditional copper pot stills to make original flavours that reflect the history of the region.

He said: “We have launched these new packages in response to the incredible demand we’ve had since the start of the year. We enjoyed a very busy Christmas period, and we’re thrilled that has continued through to the spring.

“The Chamber provides a great network for us to discuss collaborations and support corporate events, and we are always happy to discuss needs for large groups and work functions, on top of our range of packages.

“Our cocktail experience provides a more relaxed way to enjoy our events space and spirits, with table service and lots of choice. All the drinks feature spirits that we have personally made, so it’s a great way for us to show off all aspects of our craft in a fun, informal setting.

“The afternoon tea adds sandwiches, scones and cakes to the mix and is a brilliant way to spend an afternoon in Leamington with friends or family – again giving people a chance to sample our small-batch spirits and cocktail creations.”
