The Culloden Estate & Spa is bringing a taste of Italy to Northern Ireland this summer with the launch of its new outdoor experience, Gin and Gelato.

Guests can enjoy Ginato gin serves, ice cream floats, wine, Prosecco and draft beer from the bespoke timber bar installation located on the stunning grounds outside the Cultra Inn. There is also Italian inspired food, including sharing boards and small bowls, with a new menu being launched each month. Putting a local twist on the Italian theme, a selection of gelato is available from Glastry Farm.

The five-star hotel has teamed up with Drinksology to create the Italian gin garden which offers lots of outdoor seating in the picturesque setting of the stunning 12 acres Estate grounds.

Ginato Gin is the very essence of Italy, capturing the effortlessly chic, timeless, sunshine-drenched way of life distilled with the finest Italian grapes selected from the wine-growing regions of Friuli in the north of the country. The juniper is sourced from the rolling hills of Tuscany, and the citrus is picked from the sunny climate of southern Italy.

Niall Burns, General Manager of the Culloden Estate & Spa said: “We are delighted to bring a taste of Italy to the Culloden with Gin and Gelato - the ultimate summer experience. Guests can sit back and relax in luxurious surroundings whilst enjoying the magnifico selection of drinks and delizioso Italian themed menus using the very best of local produce.”

Gin and Gelato is running from June until September.
