Choosing a Tasting Experience

Spirits rather than cellar-door wine are the draw on this page, with two working distilleries at Cambridge offering tours and tastings for groups. Sullivans Cove Distillery has made single cask whisky since 1994, while Spring Bay Distillery Cambridge produces single malt, gins, vodka and brandy from grain to bottle.

Both sites put guests inside the working distillery, so the choice comes down to the format of tasting and how big your group is.

Two Cambridge distilleries side by side:

The entry point at Spring Bay Distillery Cambridge is a bar flight, three gins or three whiskies, from $15 per person.
Spring Bay's hour-long guided tour is led by the makers and closes with three pours, a taste from the Solera cask and a Glencairn glass guests keep.
Spring Bay's Solera Experience has guests draw whisky from the cask, then bottle and seal it themselves, guided by a distiller.
Sullivans Cove Distillery runs guided tours and seated tastings in a lounge bar set inside the distillery, daily between 10am and 4.30pm.
Because Sullivans Cove bottles one cask at a time, some releases are poured only at the distillery itself.

Sullivans Cove Distillery shapes a package around each private or work group, combining hosting, whisky pours and a look at the stills.
Its lounge has an intimate feel suited to smaller, select groups, and its team will also take a tasting out to another venue.
At Spring Bay, larger parties and private tastings are arranged directly with the distillery team, who aim to fit bigger groups in.
Plan a Spring Bay visit for Tuesday to Saturday between 10am and 4pm, when its cellar door is open.

Before you take a group tasting in Cambridge

Spring Bay takes adults only, 18 and over, and checks age at booking, so confirm everyone in your group qualifies.
Book a coach or a driver for the group, since every format at both distilleries involves tasting spirits.
Ask Sullivans Cove which rare releases are being poured on your date if a whisky lover is the reason for the outing.
Decide between a quick flight, a guided hour or the hands-on Solera bottling at Spring Bay, as each suits a different length of visit.
