The Bistro at the Distillery

 Open daily from 10am until 6pm

The Lakes Distillery, established in 2011, nestles on the north shore of Bassenthwaite Lake and their majestic surroundings, near Keswick, inspire an artistic ethos and their range of fine whiskies, gins and vodka.

Visitors enjoy interactive tours of the state-of-the-art distillery, to suit all ages. Following the journey of how the distillery’s spirits are made, each tour ends with a tasting of their award-winning spirits.

Informal dining and drinks are available at the on-site restaurant, Bistro at the Distillery, showcasing locally sourced ingredients and honest, hearty flavours.

The distillery shop is stocked with a wide selection of spirits and giftware. Whether you are looking for a souvenir or a unique gift, the shop has something to suit all tastes.

Visitors are encouraged to take a walk down to the River Derwent, passing by the friendly Alpacaly Ever After herd who graze on the site, or the nearby Bassenthwaite Lake to enjoy the stunning views.

The Lakes Distillery team are passionate about what they do and would be delighted to welcome you through their gates.
