Gin Tours

Join our expert guide for a deep dive into gin’s evolution from a medicinal drink to a cultural and social phenomenon. Learn about the history of gin, from the 13th century to the present day. Explore its cultural significance, from the Gin Craze of the 18th century to today’s booming craft gin renaissance. 

Gin’s stimulating history is deeply intertwined with naval history. Find out about how the beloved British drink sailed the high seas with the Royal Navy, travelled the globe through colonial trade routes, and evolved under the reigns of kings and queens.  

The one-hour site wide tour ends at the Greenwich Gin shop with a short gin tasting and with the Greenwich Spirits team on hand to tell you about their various award-winning gins. 

Whether you’re a history buff, a gin enthusiast, or just looking for a unique London experience, the Greenwich Gin Tour is the perfect heady mix of stories and insights about our favourite tipple! 

This experience is available as private guided tour, tailored to suit your group’s interests. The cost is £250 for up to ten people, £25pp after that. Contact groups@ornc.org to enquire.
