Frequently asked Questions

Gin School Masterclass FAQ

What is included in the Tribe Gin Masterclass experience?

Everything you need to craft your own gin — from botanicals to bottling. You'll use your own copper mini-still, select from a wide range of local ingredients, and create a 700ml bottle of gin to take home. The session also includes a guided tasting, light snacks, expert instruction, and a personalised label for your creation.

How long does the masterclass last?

The full experience runs for approximately 2.5 hours. That gives you plenty of time to distil your gin, enjoy a few sips along the way, and soak up the atmosphere — it’s never rushed, always relaxed.

Where is the masterclass held?

All classes take place at the Tribe Gin School, located at 139 Upper Salthill Road, Galway. It’s a bright, modern space in the heart of the seaside town, just minutes from the Prom and perfect for group outings, date nights, or solo adventures.

Do I need to book in advance?

Yes — we recommend booking early, especially at weekends or for group occasions. Spaces are limited to 22 per class and tend to fill quickly. You can check availability and reserve your spot directly on our website.

Can I book for a private group or event?

Absolutely. The Gin School Masterclass is a brilliant choice for hen parties, birthdays, corporate outings, and group celebrations. Private sessions are available for groups of up to 30 people and can be tailored to your occasion. Just email us at info@tribegin.com or visit our Group Bookings page to get started.

Is the experience suitable for beginners?

Yes — no gin-making knowledge required. Whether you're a die-hard gin fan or just curious to try something new, our team will guide you every step of the way. We’ll take you through the basics, help you choose your botanicals, and make sure your final creation is something you’re proud to pour.
