About

For the first time in our 158 year history, we are throwing open the doors of our historical tower brewery for official tours. A mile from Stow-on-the-Wold, Donnington Brewery is based within heartland Cotswold country with the Brewery lake feeding into the River Dickler. This is a great opportunity to see the full process and visit behind the scenes. Donnington Brewery is the only existing Brewery using a waterwheel to power all the original equipment.

Our guided tour of the historic brewhouse follows the traditional process from the raw ingredients through to tasting the final product with a complementary Donnington glass.

Tours run every Friday at 11am and 2pm allowing time to enjoy lunch in one of our fantastic local pubs. The tour starts and ends at the entrance to the Brewery. Free parking is available in the brewery's car park at the entrance.

Unfortunately we are unable to receive people with mobility problems on our tours as our brewery has a lot of steep steps. We would also ask you to wear sensible footwear – no sandals or high heels! If you are unsure please call in advance and we will be more than happy to advise you.

Young adults ages 13 and up are very welcome but they must be accompanied by an adult.

For younger children please call to discuss, we request a maximum of 2 children per adult, to be supervised at all times. Any very young children in arms to be in a baby carrier.
