Distillery Visit and eBike Tour
A full day out combining a tour through the Derwent Valley with a visit to the White Peak Distillery
Service Description
Your experience starts at 11am with a Distillery Tour at the White Peak Distillery followed by an afternoon eBike tour that crosses both sides of the Derwent Valley and meanders down the Cromford Canal. On your distillery tour you will experience the unique atmosphere, heat and smells of a working distillery, then be guided through the production process by one of the distillers. Finally you will get to take a seat in the tasting room for a guided tasting of a range of craft spirits and a chance for further discussion followed by an opportunity to browse the shop and take your favourites home! After your distillery tour you get time for lunch before departing down the canal towpath from our Ambergate hub then leaving it at Whatstandwell to climb to Crich and then onto Plaistow Green before turning west to Dethick. The route next falls steeply down into Lea Bridge where just beyond it rejoins the canal to Cromford. The return journey crosses the A6 Derby Road to travel west climbing trails and minor roads high onto Alderwasley Moor. Minor farm lanes and a steep ancient track (where more careful technical riding may be required) brings you back into Ambergate on the opposite side of the Derwent River.
