Step inside Swansea's industrial and whisky-making story at Penderyn Swansea Copperworks Distillery. Set within the restored Hafod-Morfa Copperworks opposite the Swansea.com Stadium, this visitor experience brings Penderyn's modern Welsh whisky together with the history of one of the city's most important industrial sites.
Guided tours explore Penderyn's story, the copper tunnel and the equipment used to make its whisky, including the distinctive Faraday stills. Mashing and distilling are currently paused at Swansea, but visitors can still enter the distillery hall, see the stills and experience the building and its heritage. The standard tour lasts around an hour and includes two tasters for adults, with masterclasses, premium tastings and selected evening experiences offered on scheduled dates.
Tours normally run from Wednesday to Saturday; check the live schedule and book before travelling because numbers are limited. Visitors aged 14 to 17 may join a tour but do not take part in tastings, while children under 14 cannot enter the production area. The Swansea production area is accessible to wheelchair users, and free parking is available through the barrier at Landore Park & Ride.
