Kent Gin & Distilleries in Kent
On This Page: Kent Gin and Distillery directory, reviews and tasting notes, distillery tours in Kent, and interviews with Kent's distillers.
Kent is home to just a small number of distilleries and unusually for an English county they are outnumbered by vineyards. But these distilleries produce some wonderful spirits and several of them are open to visit and are absolutely worth visiting. You can comfortably visit 2 or more over the course a weekend, from the scenic and sustainability-focused Greensand Ridge Distillery, to the town centre based Maidstone Distillery.
