Set in the backdrop of the beautiful Cumbrian hills and mountains, The Lakes Distillery, the largest distillery in England, is set in an area of unimaginable beauty next to Bassenthwaite Lake. Overlooked by one of the Lakes’ highest peaks, Skiddaw, our location has been an inspiration to many people over the years including the poets Wordsworth and Tennyson.
We welcome visitors to learn about their spirits via their cutting edge distillery tours. Visitors will be taken on a tour through the ages, exploring the history of distilling, learning about what makes The Lakes Distillery’s products so special and unique, and of course having a sample of the spirits themselves! Whether you are looking for a souvenir from your visit or looking for an ideal gift, our distillery gift shop offers some exclusive Lakes Distillery products that are not available anywhere else, including a range of branded clothing and unique gift ideas.
We also have the Bistro at the Distillery, our unique bistro and bar, which is ready to serve you a menu of honest, generous and flavoursome foods.
Our team is passionate about what they do and where we are and we would be delighted to welcome you though out gates.
For queries on booking a tour or a table at the bistro or for general information on The Lakes Distillery please contact: 017687 88857.
