About
A 90 minute guided tour of a working gin and rum distillery on the Drayton Manor Farm estate at the north-western edge of Stratford, about 3.5km from the centre, followed by a guided tasting of at least three spirits and a drink of your choice. The distillery's Jester Aged British Rum was named World's Best at the 2026 World Rum Awards, by the distillery's own account. The visitor centre and shop is open Wednesday to Saturday 10am to 5pm and Sunday 10am to 4pm, closed Monday and Tuesday. Tours must be pre-booked and the tasting is for over 18s; alcohol-free spirits and soft drinks are available for drivers. The distillery also runs gin and rum schools and a town-centre shop at 1 High Street.
