What are Gin (and wine) Flights?
Flights are curated mini-tastings that let you compare several small pours side-by-side with
tasting notes and expert guidance — a quick, good-value way to explore and find your favourites.
At York Distillery, choose a Gin Flight (three perfect serves from our Classic Gold, Taste of York, or a custom mix)
or a Wine Flight featuring carefully handpicked whites and reds with tasting notes; both are designed to showcase contrasting styles and teach you what to look for as you sip.
Gin Flights
