Deanston Distillery is a listed building. We have wheelchair access in our warehouse experience but regrettably, there are stairs around the distillery so the distillery tour is not wheelchair accessible.
There are a few stairs around the tour route. If you have any mobility requirements, please contact us before making your booking.
Due to the current situation, we can only take online bookings. Tickets are available to purchase up to 24 hours in advance. If you would like to book on the day please phone us. If there are spaces available we will book on the day, but if we are full, then you cannot. But you can book in store for another date.
