An evening with Demijohn

Join us at Gather for a tasting evening with the ‘liquid deli’ Demijohn.

At £49 per person, guests will be treated to seven beautiful tasting plates perfectly paired with Demijohn’s range of oils, vinegars, spirits and cordials.

About DemiJohn

The world’s first ‘liquid deli’, Demijohn is an eco-friendly family business based near Castle Douglas.

The Night

The evening starts at 6pm where you’ll be greeted with a warm welcome from the team at Gather and Demijohn owners Angus and Frances Ferguson. You’ll then start the night with a Demijohn cocktail whilst listening to a talk from Angus Ferguson about the brand, its history and its mouth watering products.
