White Peak Distillery Tours

60 Secs…

We’re lucky to make Wire Works whisky in a fabulous setting within the Derwent Valley Mills UNESCO World Heritage Site; it’s a wonderful area to visit, with rich heritage and stunning scenery. There’s plenty to see so if you want to make a long weekend of it, here are some places to stay nearby. And we’re easy to find too; the Distillery (Ambergate) is well connected by both road and public transport (bus and train).

White Peak Distillery is in the Top-10 of things To Do in Derbyshire and we’re also amongst the top 10% of places to visit globally (Tripadvisor 2023)! Establishing a unique visitor destination was always part of the plan and something the whole WPD team is passionate about.

We’ve got three tour & tasting experiences to choose from, running Thursday, Friday and Saturday each week.

DISTILLERY TOUR

This is the all-rounder, suitable for everyone interested in getting close to the action of how spirits are made (and of course what they taste like)! Explore the still house and discover how we make Wire Works Whisky, Shining Cliff Gin and Derbyshire Rum. Then it’s back to our cosy tasting room for a guided tasting of our range of craft spirits.

WHISKY IN THE WOODS

An intimate and laid-back evening hosted by Founder Max Vaughan and Distillery Manager Dave Symes. An evening all about sharing whisky in good company. We’ll gather to enjoy six outstanding drams, shared boards of artisanal meats and cheeses and good conversation.

YELLOW WOOD

A chilled and magical evening in Yellow Wood, with amazing live music, delicious food and of course, a well-stocked Derbyshire bar. Running through the months of summer, bring your friends, a camping chair and dress for the weather- it’s an outdoor event!
