The apple and raspberry gin is made by steeping chopped apples and whole raspberries in the distilled spirit, while the 'Celebration Gin' is made with persimmons and myrtle grown from the wedding bouquet at the 1863 wedding of the Prince of Wales (later King Edward VII) and Princess Alexandra of Denmark (later Queen Alexandra).
The Sandringham orchards were started by King George VI in the 1930s and fuel Sandringham Apple Juice made on the estate.
Between September 14 and September 29, guests to the estate can pick their own cox or bramley apples from the orchard.
The orchard is open between 1pm to 5pm from Monday to Saturday and between 10am to 5pm on Sundays. It is free to visit - just pay for the apples you pick.
