We are excited to discover Greensand Ridge Distillery, situated just outside the pretty village of Shipbourne, near Sevenoaks. Not only is this micro-distillery entirely carbon-neutral, it is the perfect venue to enjoy a fun tasting experience with friends or a brilliant gift to give or receive.

WHO?

Greensand Ridge takes its’ name from the sweeping Weald hills where the team at the distillery source their flavours. We love the concept here – by adopting sustainable methods, Greensand are on a mission to reduce food waste by distilling and fermenting quality surplus produce, unwanted by supermarkets.

THE SPIRITS

Choose from gins, fruit brandies and rums. We can recommend the London Dry Gin and the Blackcurrant Ghost (perfect for adult Ribena lovers!). Prices start at £40 and these can be purchased on line or sampled at Greensand Ridge.

EXPERIENCE

This is a great spot for an evening with friends. Set in a beamed, Victorian coach house with sweeping views, sip a cocktail while you are taken on a tour of the distillery. Learn about the art of distillery and the range of over 40 botanicals and how these are combined. Over two and a half hours, you will even get to distill your own full bottle of gin on a copper pot still. We also like the sound of The Spiced Rum experience where you can learn about the history of rum and the art of distilling. Gin and Rum experiences can be booked online at the Greensand Ridge website.

Greensand Ridge is also available for private hire. Groups of up to 12 can visit for a tasting and these are popular for birthday parties, team building events and away days. Greensand also work with an experienced leadership coach for a customised facilitated development day. Please see the website for more information on Corporate Hire.
