Perfect for all gin lovers or those who want to become one — ideal as an after‑work event or gift.

Which gins and tonic waters are tried?

When choosing the five gins, we try to address the different styles and the different botanicals. We also want to reflect the history of this spirit drink. No gin is the same as another.

The tonic is also not neglected and we will mix three different and suitable tonic water with the gin. In doing so, we experience how different our gin & tonic can taste by choosing the tonic water.

We had booked a gin tasting and we really enjoyed it. We were not only served delicious drinks and gins, but bartender Marc gave us a great tour of the tasting. The tasting was very informative and after each sip there was always a bit more information or funny anecdotes about the history of gin. It was a very fun and informative afternoon. I would love to come back again.

We went to the gin tasting as part of our JGA and we really enjoyed it. Marc is a great host who can answer all questions about gin and you can tell his passion for it. For all gin fans, those who still want to become one and those who have never come into contact with it, I can only warmly recommend the gin tasting! (“The cheesecake made by a real grandma” is something you must try too!) :)
