Explore the distillery
Our gins and genevers are still made the same way as our founder Simon Rutte did in 1872, from the small back room in our distillery in Dordrecht: with love, and by hand.
“I get to apply the knowledge accumulated over many generations of Rutte's and use the craftsmanship to create the most wonderful distillates you can enjoy today. That is not just my job, that is a broad smile on my face, every day!"
Myriam Hendrickx
Master Distiller since 2003

Tastings & workshops
Experiencing Rutte's gins and genevers? You can in our tasting room! During a visit to Rutte you will learn about the rich history of the distillery. You will get an extensive explanation on how the special beverages are produced, which herbs and/or fruits are used and you can take a look at the stills in the distilleries and the oak barrels in the maturing area.
We organize various activities in The Tasting Room, such as tastings, or how about a gin making workshop?
