Wild Spirits Experience

Price from: £80

Availability: Friday 14 August 2026. 10:30AM - 3:00PM

Join Hepple for a spirits-focused tour of their wilding project. The hills around the Hepple Estate have been gently managed for wildlife and farming for decades but since 2020, they've changed gear and are now fully focused on building ecosystem health and encouraging biodiversity - as well as producing a bit of gin!

What to expect?

• Arrive for a 10:30 start, finishing around 3pm with lunch & sampling included
• An introduction to the Hepple Estate, where they meld nature-first rewilding with sustainable spirits production
• Guided walk around the Hepple distillery & estate with a focus on the wild botanicals that are used in Hepple gin
• Some uneven ground and variable weather conditions may apply!

The day will include an introduction to the estate and Hepple's ethos before a 3hr-4hr professionally guided walk of the estate with a special focus on the natural goods that we can smell, and taste, from Hepple itself. A simple lunch is included and, weather allowing, will be taken outside.

The tour of the estate will include a tour of the Hepple Spirits Distillery, a special micro-distillery where Hepple produce unique, triple-distilled, award-winning gin, and other spirits. Hepple has been producing gin since 2014 using fresh ingredients from their hills but their distillery is not generally open to the public. During the tour you will also be able to sample a range of products, as well as purchase directly from the distillery.
