Salcombe Distilling Company

About

Nestled in the charming waterfront town of Salcombe, the Salcombe Distilling Co. is more than just a distillery – it is an immersive experience that blends craft spirit production with coastal heritage. From the moment you arrive at the picturesque Boathouse on Island Street, you’ll be greeted by the iconic 450‑litre copper pot still, Provident, where master distillers hand‑craft a range of award‑winning gins and rums. The estate also houses a delightful Bar, a retail shop, and a Gin School that offers hands‑on distillation lessons for beginners and intermediates alike. Participants can learn to produce their own 70cl bottle, design a bespoke label, and finish their spirit with a complimentary gin‑and‑tonic in the Bar, creating a truly memorable souvenir. The Rum School mirrors the same experience with unique rum recipes, while the Distillery Tour & Tasting invites visitors to explore the production area and sample four of the house‑made gins. The Distillery’s coastal setting provides a serene backdrop, and its unique location—directly accessible by boat—adds an extra layer of charm. Whether you’re a seasoned spirit connoisseur or simply looking for a unique day out, Salcombe Distilling Co. offers engaging activities that celebrate the art of distillation and the beauty of the Devon coastline.
