WESTCOUNTRY gin makers showcased the best of the region’s tipple at a gin tasting evening. 

Rumwell Farm Shop, on the A38 between Taunton and Wellington, hosted the event in its café on Friday, October 21

Anne Mitchell, joint owner said: "Our previous gin events have been extremely popular and the trend for different flavoured gins doesn’t look to be disappearing any time soon, so we thought what better time to host another one."

On arrival, attendees were shown to their tables where they received a selection of olives and charcuterie, artisan breads, dipping oils and balsamic vinegar. 

They were then able to look at the gin suppliers’ displays and sample their products. 

Rumwell Farm Shop, which celebrates its 25th anniversary this year, is an independent, family-run, award-winning business owned by the Mitchell family.
