Nestled in the heart of Edinburgh, The Edinburgh Gin Distillery at The Arches offers a captivating journey into the world of gin-making. This boutique distillery, located at Arch 16, E Market St, combines rich history with modern craftsmanship, creating an unforgettable experience for gin enthusiasts and curious travelers alike. Visitors can indulge in a range of immersive tours, including the popular gin and chocolate pairing experience, where the art of distillation meets the sweet allure of handcrafted chocolates.

At The Edinburgh Gin Distillery, the culinary experience is as rich as the spirits themselves. One of the standout offerings is the gin and chocolate tasting, where guests savor four distinct gins paired with exquisite chocolates from the local Coco company. Imagine the smooth, botanical notes of the Edinburgh Gin harmonizing with the rich, velvety texture of dark chocolate—each sip and bite elevating the other to new heights. Another must-try is the signature Edinburgh Gin, infused with a blend of traditional botanicals and a hint of heather, offering a truly unique taste of Scotland.

Hubby and I did the decadent duo gin and chocolate pairing experience. It was a fab experience and our tour guide Colette was brilliant. She was so enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the distillery and history of gin. Loved the new gins we tried. Worth every penny. Well worth a visit.

What a fantastic experience, my sister and I had a fabulous tasting experience with Freddie! He was so passionate and we really enjoyed learning more about Edinburgh Gin and the history and got plenty Christmas pressies! Enjoyed our drinks in the bar too. Our favourite bit of our annual Edinburgh trip this year. Thank you 😊

Great experience at the new distillery site. Beautiful space. Went for the £35 gin and chocolate tasting which included a fun and informative tour of their botanical room and the beautifully shiny equipment.
Got to taste 4 gins and 1 liqueur, each paired with a lovely chocolate square from the local Coco company.

I highly recommend the gin and chocolate tour at Edinburgh Gin Distillery. It’s a fun, informative and interactive way to learn about the gin making process and see the science, care and pride that Edinburgh Gin Distillers put into making the perfect bottle of gin. Not only do you get to sample some of the best gins out there, you also get to sample some seriously delicious and creative chocolates too. The new distillery is absolutely stunning, and the staff are kind, welcoming and fun.

A special shoutout to our tour guide, Colette, who truly made the experience unforgettable. Her knowledge, enthusiasm, and storytelling skills brought the history and craft of gin-making to life. She had a fantastic way of making everyone feel engaged and welcomed, and her passion for gin (and chocolate!) was infectious.

Whether you’re a gin enthusiast, or looking for a unique and fun experience in Edinburgh, this tour is an absolute must. Like me you may also be surprised by which gin is your new favourite.
