Originally and primarily a cider orchard, Fowey Valley have been producing their quality cider since 2012.
In almost no time, it was obvious they could using the apples to produce their own spirit and in turn, gin.

Although our values of hard work and no shortcuts are old fashioned, our gin is anything but. We have combined the hands-on process of mashing in our cane sugar base (using a canoe paddle – we’ve found it works best!) and preparing our fresh fruits and other botanicals, with a state of the art glass and stainless steel distillery and a beautifully modern set of botanical flavours. The thing is, although we value tradition, we are not bound by it.
The young team (whom 3/4 are under 25) already had a micro brewery run by their parents next door, so alcohol was already in their blood from birth (figuratively speaking of course!)

The crystal clear fresh spring water, sourced at Calancombe, is an essential element of the gin we produce. Our families’ past has been woven into the fabric and history of Dartmouth and the surrounding area for centuries – shipwrights, master mariners, Brixham trawlermen; builders and captains of sailing and steam ships that voyaged from Dartmouth delivering cargo and passengers cross the oceans.

We took an excursion to Marden in Kent to the home of Anno gin.
Anno is our closest distillery and a firm favourite here at The Gin Box. Their Kentish gin is made by ex-scientists Andy and Norman (can you see what they've done) and we were lucky enough to be shown around by the other key person at the distillery, Andy's daughter, Kim.
We met the magnificent 'Patience', the 300 litre copper pot still from which this great gin hails, named after their 'arduous' wait for a licence - check out the tall red head above - and her little sister that sparked the idea for Anno gin back in 2011/12.
