A Kenilworth distillery is getting ready for Valentine's Day with a special event, and a gift bundle in collaboration with other local businesses.

Love is in the air at East Chase Distillers which will open its doors on Friday 16 February for a special evening of food and drinks.

"Looking for something special to do this Valentine's weekend? Join us at our distillery for Friday Valentine's evening," the distillery at East Chase Farm said.

"Each £25 booking includes a table for two, a meat and cheese board to share, a drink each and also the chance to sample our gin range.

"The bar will then be open all evening for further drinks.

"So treat yourself and your loved one to something different this Valentines and book now!"

ECD - which is run by friends Richie Bartle and Luke Weetman - has also teamed up with Paintbox Blooms to offer handmade gin and flower bundles.

Why not treat your other half to the "wonderful gift" of Heritage Gin accompanied with a bouquet of British grown scented flowers.

Bouquets must be ordered by February 5 and will be delivered to houses in the CV8 postcode on February 14. Collection from East Chase is also available.

"How about treating your loved one to a bottle of artisan Heritage Gin with their Valentine flowers?" ECD added.

"We have also teamed up with Paintbox Blooms to bring you the wonderful gift of Heritage Gin accompanied with a bouquet of British grown scented flowers, now available to pre-order.

"All the details are on our website, so head over to book and pre-order now... there are only limited numbers available!"

ECD was first opened in November 2022, after Richie and Luke decided to go into business together, spotting a gap in the market and discovering their mutual love for gin. 

East Chase Farm, where Luke's family have been for five generations, seemed the perfect venue.

The distillery itself is an old barn which they have completely remodelled into a bespoke distillery, with a mezzanine gallery, marble floors and oak beams all setting the scene for the world–leading Holstein still where they make their spirits.

As well as opening on Friday nights, ECD has also hosted a number of Gin, Tonic & Tales nights where Richie has opened up about his time in the special forces.
