Our distillery is located in an old victorian coach house, arranged around a central courtyard, and overlooking the fields and forests of Kent. Part of a historic hunting estate, it is now the home of Greensand Ridge Distillery. THE GIN EXPERIENCE is an intimate distillery experience where you'll learn about the art of distilling and distil your own gin on an individual copper pot still.

We first had Gunpowder Gin by this company on a cruise in the middle of the Fjords last year so it was great to then be sitting in the same room it was made. It was such an interesting tour with the founder Paul who gave a really interesting talk. We had a lovely drink on arrival and plenty of tastings to help choose what we wanted to purchase although there really was no hard sell but you won’t leave without wanting something as everything is so good. Definitely recommend a tour at Winchester Distillery! Keep up the good work.

What a lovely surprise to find we have such an amazing distillery in Oxford. Was bought this as my Mother’s Day present from my youngest son, hubby came to. We got the bus from central oxford to within a 3 minute walk. Easy, no hassle and at the top of South Park looking across beautiful views of Oxford. We could have been collected by minibus free of charge if we wanted. Greeted by Edward and Ruth who made us one of our first of many G&T’s all made at TOAD Great tour, nice to see how it all started and where it’s going, funny, witty and the 2 hours passed by too quickly Taken back into Oxford by minibus with lots of goodies we tasted throughout the tour. Not just gin but vodka and whiskey ???? Would definitely go back again ????

The location is stunning, you could go for a lovely long walk and come back to a fab beautifully laid out and covid safe bar to relax in for a few hours (in our case all day). Gins are lovely, cocktails divine and love the food vans on certain days. Really lovely outside and inside spaces, and you can buy a bottle to take home and continue drinking - bonus Love the Ginger cat gin myself and the lavender liqueur. Highly recommend visiting. Designate a driver for your first visit, although easy to grab taxi from Dorking.
