TASTING EVENTS

We are happy to attend an event hosted by you, e.g. in a private home or a social or sports club. You can learn about Pigs Bay and sample all 9 of our beautiful spirits in production, that means you get 10 drinks as we serve one of our gins with 2 different tonics. You will learn our unique process to create these spirits and we will even teach you a few tricks of the trade to transform a supermarket cheap vodka into a quality tasting spirit yourself at home. Its fun, entertaining and you will leave educated and with a nice glow.

We will bring the gins, tonics and our very own Essex ultra pure water.

You will need to provide the glasses, ice and perhaps garnishes e.g. a slice of lemon or some fruit.

We try to restrict each session to 2 hours, but we will not generally run off at the end so we can plan a longer session as required.

We are limited on the number we can attend per month, hence book early. Essex region only. Enquires welcome via contact us or send us a message to discuss your dates.

Cost per person is £25. Minimum number of persons 12.
