While Portugal is better known for its port, that hasn’t stopped it from producing some excellent gin. Join us as you are guided through the rich history and flavours of gin with gin expert and host here at the Solar Branco Estate, Ali Bullock.
Your gin tasting takes you through the very best gins from the Azores and Portugal as you learn about the history of gin and its modern renaissance. You will try 3 Azorean gins with selected tonics and garnishes matched for each one. Light snacks will be served during the tasting.
Want to experience this tasting for free? To qualify for a free tasting (max 2 people) bring us a craft gin, one we do not have in our collection. To add a little mystery, we don’t tell you if we have it before you arrive.
Strictly adults only. Guests visiting The Gin Library are not permitted to bring babies or children under 16.
