Visiting Our
Wee Distillery
We are delighted to be able to welcome you back into our distillery again after the pandemic, albeit with a few changes. Our Visitor Experience has been re-designed to ensure social distancing can be maintained and everyone can be kept safe.
Join us on our North Coast Stories with Tasting experience for a great time!
Dunnet Bay Distillery is situated on the iconic North Coast 500 route around the north of Scotland and the John O’ Groats to Lands’ End tourist route. We are located three miles from Dunnet Head, the most northerly point on mainland Britain.
We have accessible parking on site.
Smoking is not permitted within the distillery grounds.

Visitor Experience Details
Please look at our booking page for availability on our North Coast Stories with Tasting experience..
When the gin pennant has been raised we will invite you to join us in our Tasting Room for our North Coast Stories with Tasting experience! Enter our re-imagined Tasting Room with its coastal theme and fabulous ‘Boat Shed’ booths to listen to Captain Joanne as she tells tales to celebrate Scotland’s Year of Coasts and Waters 2020. The tales will be accompanied with tasters of three of our spirits to sip and discover. Each Boat Shed will seat two persons from the same ‘bubble’ and is a safe distance from our other Boat Sheds.
Our previous distillery tours have achieved a TripAdvisor ‘Outstanding Attraction’ award because in the words of a recent visitor they are ‘Tip top tastic’!
Our North Coast Stories with Tasting experience is in English and will last around 30 minutes
£20 per Boat Shed. Each Boat Shed will seat two persons maximum.
We endeavour to make the distillery tour as enjoyable as possible for all of our visitors. Download the Accessibility Guide for Dunnet Bay Distillery or Contact Us if you have any special requirements.
We love dogs and have a box of welcome treats and fresh water available for your four-legged friends. However, we are unable to welcome dogs other than Assistance Dogs into our Visitor Centre where our shop and Tasting Room are located as they are very small spaces. We do have a sheltered lead tether just beside the shop and our garden is available for leg stretching and a quick walk.
