The Ginstitute is the premier gin blending experience in the heart of Portobello Road, London. An immersive gin-making session where you learn gin history, blend botanicals, enjoy cocktails, and leave with your own bespoke bottle. Join us for an in-depth journey through gin’s colourful and chequered past; from its creation by the Dutch, its journey across the sea with William of Orange, to Hogarth & his gin lane, finishing with the golden era of gin. Once sufficiently briefed, your Ginstructor will guide you through the blending process as you nose your way through an eclectic range of pure botanical distillates and choosing your favourites to create your own bespoke blend of gin. You’ll be lubricated by a multitude of our favourite gin cocktails along the way before leaving the session with a bottle of your own personal blend to take home and enjoy. Those recipes are kept on file so you never have to be out of stock of your own bespoke recipe again. Rated 5* experience by Tripadvisor with over 130,000 attendees making their own personal gin. All our custom gins are kept on file to reorder as required.
