A different side of Skopje

We walked in to ask for availability, we were welcomed with open arms for a tour at that moment. During the tour we learned a lot about the process, from raw materials to botteling. Besides al the information we also got to taste the gin. The ladies who gave the tour where very passionate and had a lot of knowledge about their business. 11 out of 10 would recommend.

Highly recommended unique and unforgettable gin experience in the city center of Skopje

We had an awesome time in the Smidgin Distillery, with a great story to hear about the craft gin, the chance to try all their gins and drink a few Smidgin cocktails. I recommend it to anybody visiting or living in Skopje, it's next to the city park, in the city center. You also have the chance to buy the gin in the distillery. It's a 10/10 experience, highly recommended!

Operator response

Dear Konstantina...Thank you very much for your visit and support . We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

A unique experience in Skopje

The tour at Smidgin gin distillery offers a glimpse into the journey and craftsmanship behind Macedonia's first gin. Set in one of the oldest buildings in Skopje that survived the earthquake in 1963, the distillery gives off a unique vibe. What makes it truly special is the mix of history and modernity. After the tour, you get to enjoy well-crafted cocktails that showcase the unique flavors of Smidgin gin in a cozy courtyard setting. It's an amazing experience that combines education, history, and great drinks.
