Our team absolutely loved the experience. In fact, the overwhelming feedback was that it was the best team outing we’ve ever had!

NICOLE - EMAILED REVIEW MAY 2025

Thank you so much for your amazing service. From the very start when we reached out planning to bring our group to the distillery all the way to the end the communication was so professional. Everyone in the group had so much fun distilling their own spirit. We would highly recommend this as a great group activity.

BETH - GOOGLE REVIEW JULY 2025

My partner and I booked the Blend & Dine experience and wow, would highly recommend. Ness was our spirits guide and she was super lovely, funny and knowledgeable. She made the experience so much fun and taught us a lot at the same time. The food was delicious which added another layer of enjoyment. All of the staff were super nice too so this made our night feel very warm and welcoming!

DANIELLE - GOOGLE REVIEW OCT 2025

[Our instructor] was an absolute standout at the Earp Distillery gin blending class, bringing a perfect mix of expertise, humour, and genuine enthusiasm that turned the whole session into a creative, relaxed adventure. She guided us through the botanicals with clarity and passion, offering spot-on suggestions while giving us space to explore and craft something truly our own. Her energy elevated the entire experience.
