Highly recommended

Really delicious gin in a great bottle. It’s especially good to be able to send the bottle back for a refill, all made so easy by the very clever packaging.

I love that you can return the bottles…

I love that you can return the bottles for reuse. I was given a bottle of the pinot noir gin last year and the returns process was easy and quick. Gift card redeemed against another bottle and my order was despatched quickly even though it was Christmas. The handwritten note was a lovely touch. Oh, and most importantly, it's excellent gin (local too)!

I understand more about wine and vines now

A fascinating, informative and illuminating tour which showed how much work and graft goes into owning and running a vineyard. And what goes into getting the characteristics of each type. The tasting at the end was thoroughly enjoyed.
Andrew and Fi have put so much into the creation and running of Mallard Point, especially the packaging.
Well done both of you and our group wish you every success.

Great gin experience.

We both thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Very personal and very informative. We learned a lot. I had been on a similar experience before but the difference was I had a small individual still whereas this was an up to date Istill. Great technology which produced an excellent gin before our eyes. Whilst the gin was distilling, we had a tour of the vineyards which appeared to have a great harvest as the vines were very young and of course we sampled a couple of their excellent gins.

Splendid.

Creative bottles, well packaged that can easily be recycled. The wine was very good too. My choice for gifts this year. Splendid!

Absolutely fascinating afternoon spent…

Absolutely fascinating afternoon spent at Mallard Point with Fi. Whether you like science or alcohol this is a fantastic experience. Fi is so knowledgeable and engaging it's a real pleasure to spend time with her. I'm so delighted with my gorgeous bottle of gin, that I've not yet opened it because it's so beautifully packaged. Thanks so much, Fi!

Delicious gin with outstanding eco credentials to boot

We absolutely love Mallard Point and just received our "refill" bottle of their dry gin. It's delicious, and the bottle return system is so easy - packaging, address and postage all sorted for you when you buy the original bottle, and then Royal Mail will collect it from your door for free. Genius!

Friendly family run vineyard with great wine

Very small family run vineyard. Our tour was taken by one of the owners, who was enthusiastic, knowledgeable and was keen to give you as much time and answer as many questions as people wanted. Lovely walk around the vineyards, great tasting session with plenty of wine to drink.... and personally I think the wine is up there with some of the best English still wines I have had.

No dates available on website for gin…

No dates available on website for gin school.
When I rang for a gift voucher, I was told I needed to buy normal gift voucher and print myself to gift.
I was told someone would put dates on for October.
When I looked again online the earliest date on website is now March. Not great for a gift for a birthday in October.

The best gin and customer service

The most brilliant customer service and great communication. I love the return package and the bottle.
I'll be sending out bottles as Christmas presents, these are clever and innovative as well as environmentally friendly.
And delicious gin 😋

Enterprising new local business

Enterprising new local business that deserves support. I had some queries that were answered very quickly. My order for Christmas gifts was delivered very promptly. We are looking forward to our Mallard Point wine tour in 2024

Easy to use website and quick delivery

Easy to use website and quick delivery. The pinot noir gin was enjoyed by myself and others who normally do not like gin. My daughter loved the bottle and decided to keep it as it looks perfect on her gin wall, but we will return the next one when we order again which we will be doing very soon

Gin School Heaven

I bought my husband a gin school experience at Mallard Point for our wedding anniversary and I have to say it was an amazing experience. Fi and Andy our excellent hosts we were made to feel so welcome from the start. Not only did we learn about how the gin is made we got to taste some of their superb gin whilst waiting for our own unique recipe to brew! we had a look at their wonderful vines and then bottled our very own gin. It was excellent. I would thoroughly recommend this experience to anyone who loves gin or wants to learn to love gin. I would also thoroughly recommend their professionally made gins and wines they are exquisite. Thank you for an excellent afternoon well worth every penny. Debbie & Graham

A good tour of the vineyard and distillery and we got to taste the wines and gins...even better! Andy and Fi are very knowledgeable of their products and extremely passionate about the business, which was great to see. The sustainable construction of the aluminium bottles is a good choice and the fact that you can post them back for a refill is a good idea. Will definitely recommend this experience to others.
