Oxfordshire Gin & Distilleries
On This Page: Oxfordshire Gin and Distillery directory, reviews and tasting notes, distillery tours in Oxfordshire and interviews with Oxfordshire distillers.
As well as being home of one of the world's most famous universities and beautiful countryside between the Cotswolds and Chiltern Hills, Oxfordshire is also home to 6 distilleries that are also making names of themselves. There are just a handful of 'grain-to-glass' distilleries in England that make their own base spirit as well as distilling gin, and 2 of these are in Oxfordshire - The Oxford Artisan Distillery (TOAD) in Oxford and Wood Brothers Distillery in Bampton - while Chalgrove Artisan Distillery hosts the counties only 'Gin School'.
