Doing the North Coast 500 and short of time?
Join us for our Express Tour where you will learn about our fabulously shiny stills, Elizabeth and Margaret, how our spirits are made, and how our iconic bottles are hand-filled, individually wax-sealed, batch numbered and hand-signed before they leave the distillery. You will also get to view the research and development area used by Dunnet Bay Distillery to create new products and at the end of your Express Tour you will sample our multi-award-winning Original Edition Rock Rose Gin and Holy Grass Vodka.
Tour lasts 30 minutes
This is part of our commitment to responsible drinking.
Had a great tour with a really friendly member of staff who answered loads of questions.
Coffee vodka is now a firm favourite in our house

We did the express tour with my cousin and his wife. Really loved it and found it incredibly insightful. Love the product especially the Holygrass vodka. Wish we could get it Canada. See you next time and thanks!

We had the express tour & thoroughly enjoyed our experience. Kelly was lovely & took us through Dunnet Bay’s story & the distillery process wonderfully. Considering it was an express tour, we didn’t feel rushed at all. Feel like we have discovered something special & looking forward to sharing our Rock Rose Gin.

What a very very informative and friendly tour. Our guide knew everything about not only the process but also about the history of the company plus the future plans. All questions were answered and interaction between the staff and our tour group was very light hearted and we felt most welcome.
All in all a cracking experience. The shop was full of merchandise.

Excellent tour, the guy was very enthusiastic and interesting. Knew his stuff and it was set at a perfect standard and level for participants.
A varied and very well stocked shop to purchase merchandise after the tour. Everyone was very friendly and helpful.

Took part in the express tour at Dunnet Bay Distillery on our NC500 roadtrip and we were amazed by how homegrown and in house their products are! We loved hearing how such a small team of people can produce masses of beautiful product and still deliver that hand crafted touch. Our tour guide was full of knowledge and was a great story teller of start of the Rock rose. Would definitely recommend a visit to their distillery in Dunnet bay and their Rock Rose Gin!

We thoroughly enjoyed the express tour that we booked
It was incredibly informative and the chap who took it was great
We bought some of the products from the shop afterwards and I have been trying the Rock Rose gin most of the way round the NC500
Highly recommend this place

My husband and I did the express tour on April 25, 2024 and what an amazing experience it was. Loved seeing how the Rock Rose Gin and Holy Grass Vodka was made in small batches and bottled by hand and the pretty bottles are a wonderful keepsake. So wish we could buy it back here in the states. Cherishing the bottle we brought home with us!
Rosemary & John McCrae –
Absolutely fantastic tour, would highly recommend

Amazing and informative tour despite the packed schedule. Tasted exquisite gin and vodka with ginger ale. If you have extra time, you can look around the garden and geo dorm next to the parking lot.
