About

If you are looking to organise a group weekend away, look no further than the Vale Resort.

Our newest break is perfect for a weekend away with friends, teambuilding stay with work or a fun-filled hen and stag weekend.

Once you’ve arrived at Hensol Castle Distillery, you and your party will enjoy a gin and tonic in our bar to help get you in the party spirit. You will then move on to our gin school where you will stay for the next couple of hours as you make your own bottle of gin. Our Master Distillery will teach you about the botanicals that flavour gin and you will be able to touch and smell over 60 different ones to see what you love.

As your gin is distilling our Master Distiller will give you a brief history of gin taking you through how it all started, the hurdles along the way to the current resurgence of the spirit.

You’ll end your experience by bottling, naming and labelling your unique blend ready to take home and show off.
