At Exeter Gin School, we believe a tasting experience should be inclusive, enjoyable, and memorable for all, whether you're sipping in the moment or saving it for later.
When we finally reopened after the pandemic, we noticed something: many of our guests were designated drivers, still eager to take part in the experience but unable to fully enjoy the tasting. They listened intently, inhaled the botanicals, and engaged in every detail but when it came to the tasting itself, they could only watch.
That didn’t sit well with us.
So, we introduced our Drivers Pack, designed with respect and appreciation in mind. Instead of missing out, drivers now receive an eco-friendly 50ml pouch of the spirit on offer (double the standard 25ml class sample!) along with a Fevertree tonic—allowing them to enjoy their tasting safely at home.
The feedback? Overwhelmingly positive. In fact, our guests loved the idea so much that we extended the option to the whole class. Some prefer to pace themselves, while others love the idea of taking the experience home to share with a partner or relive the moment later.
At the heart of it all, our philosophy remains simple: we respect your choice and appreciate your time with us. Whether you sip with us in the moment or later at home, you’re always a valued part of the Exeter Gin School experience.
Cheers to making memories—responsibly! 🥂
