Brilliant tasting and tour. Tiny distillery but packed with charisma! Enjoyed listening to the information about the process and tasting the results. So glad we had walked!

I went with my mum and two sisters. What a fantastic experience. It was really informative and interesting, we found out many things we didn't know. We also got to sample a variety of their homemade products. Would definitely recommend it.

The gin, whisky and vodka all tasted absolutely amazing! They are all Oxford-grown and made, and the team at the distillery were both incredibly friendly and informative; I learned a lot from my experience there. Plus, there were dogs to play with which was a very nice surprise!! And finally, the venue was so gorgeous! Looking forward to coming back again :)

Our family (husband, wife and two daughters in their mid-20s) wanted to tour a gin distillery in either London or Oxfordshire. My initial inclination was to book one of the famous London locales but as it worked out for our schedule, the Oxford Artisan Distillery worked best, and I’m so glad it did. It’s one of the few distillers anywhere to make gin every step of way from planting the grain through adding the botanicals; we learned so much about their sustainable practices and first rate products. If you’re interested in biodiversity and the environment you’ll love this visit. Gin isn’t even their primary product. They produce vodka (2x winner of world’s best vodka) and whiskey as well - whiskey is their primary product but you’ll learn why they also produce gin and vodka when you visit. Our host Sarah was terrific - knowledgeable and engaging. Our visit included a gin and tonic plus tastings of one vodka, two gins and two whiskeys. It’s an easy bus ride + short walk from Oxford City Centre for those of us who haven’t rented a car. Loved the visit!

Really enjoyed our whiskey tour. Carmen really knew her stuff and was very enthusiastic. The history of the distillery was very interesting and very different to the more commercial tours in the bigger distilleries. And the whiskey tasted great too!

Tried the best vodka I’ve ever had! Such a nice atmosphere and beautiful grounds. Richard and Carmen were the best hosts and made us feel so comfortable!

We had an excellent tour. Sarah was a great distillery guide, giving us a thorough history of the distillery whilst making the tour fun and interesting. Would highly recommend.

Just did the Whiskey tour with Richard - absolutely fascinating!. Added bonus was a plethora of really delicious, original tasting whiskeys.

A great tour and so informative, learned a lot about the grain side of things as well as some history and distilling. Mitchell pitched it at a great level and did great on the tour. Would recommend to anyone!

Highly recommended! Our tour guide was a great host, v funny and superb storyteller (my memory is somewhat hazy for whatever reason but I believe his name was Mike). We learnt a lot about their processes as well as history from the area.

Great tour. We have done quite a few gin distillery tours over the years but this was so good. The information regarding rye and farming etc was totally eye opening and really interesting. Gins tasted great too. Thoroughly recommend.

Did this tour with friends on Saturday 11th February Young lady who was giving us the history of the Distillery made it so interesting very informative. Not at all dull they are so passionate about the work they are doing Making a product to be proud of They deserve to be successful Tasters are not to be missed best to have a designated driver This was part of a very enjoyable Christmas present Would highly recommend this tour

We were given a distillery tour for two as a gift. As it happened (it was a wet January day) we were the only people on the tour, housed in an old barn, so had personal attention! The guide explained the concept behind the enterprise, which is based on research into crop history by examining the underlying straw on timbered roofs. The base layer will often have been there since pre-Agricultural Revolution times and therefore give an indication of the type of grain that was grown then. A field has been planted with rye of this type and it is allowed to grow naturally. The product is then distilled in one of the specially-built stills here and can subsequently be processed in different ways to yield gin, whisky or vodka. The ethos is very much working with nature in a traditional way and the explanation was most interesting. We were given generous tasters of several of the different gins produced by the distillery, which acquire their different tastes according to which botanicals are added (from the university's Botanical Gardens). The distillery is still experimenting with the whisky to find the most acceptable product. Important tip; don't drive here! The amount of gin we were given (or could have consumed had we been greedy) was greater than the amount of wine you get on most wine tastings! Very good value, then.

Really interesting as different to most distilleries, particularly how they are farming, and the different drinks they are making. I was the only person on the tour which I kind of liked but sure it would be good even with a group. My guide Carmen was really knowledgeable about all the aspects of the distillery and all the farming behind it which really makes this distillery stand out

Really enjoyed the tour, carmen was very informative and funny, thoroughly good experience all round And the gin is exceptional
