About

Adnams Distillery Tour takes visitors on an immersive journey through the historic Copper House Distillery in Southwold, where the renowned brewery's craft spirit production comes to life. Guided by a seasoned expert, guests witness the full distillation cycle—from grain milling and fermentation to the distillation of vodka, gin, and whisky—while learning the science behind every spirit. The tour also offers breathtaking views from panoramic windows overlooking the picturesque town. After the behind‑the‑scenes experience, visitors head to the tasting bar for a curated sampling of up to five signature Adnams gins, including the award‑winning Longshore Vodka, and other spirits. A complimentary memento and a 10% voucher for the Southwold store round out the 90‑minute adventure. The Distillery Tour is suitable for travelers aged 18 or over and is best enjoyed on weekdays, as the distillery is quiet on weekends. The attraction is praised for its knowledgeable guides, informative narrative, and engaging hands‑on displays; it consistently earns a 5‑star rating on TripAdvisor. Whether you’re a spirits enthusiast, a history lover, or simply looking for a unique local experience, the Distillery Tour offers a memorable cultural and culinary adventure at Adnams.
