As we sit out Lockdown Part Two in England our distillery tours are now postponed until further notice, and at least until 4th December 2020. We are delighted to have reopened the doors to our distillery shop, following all Covid-19 guidance and maintaining a safe environment to shop. We are still busy working away behind the scenes and our website is open and ready to meet all your spirit needs with free delivery to the UK mainland.
We are continuing to take every measure to keep you, and us, safe, and will review our policies as the situation develops. If you have a tour booked with us please see the ‘Tours’ section below.
Throughout the Covid-19 pandemic we have prioritised the safety of our guests and team above all else and will continue to do as we move into the next phase.
If you already have a tour booking with us we will be delighted to welcome you to the distillery at a later date. You can reschedule your tour to a specified date or leave it open until a later date. We will honour all bookings so please don’t worry if you don’t want to commit to a date now.
Please email us at tours@theoxfordartisandistillery.com to let us know what you would like to do. If you book for a specific date it may be subject to alteration or cancellation depending on the government guidance at that time - we will keep you updated as best we can. Please be assured we will get our tours back up and running as soon as it is safe to do so. It would help us greatly to get through this difficult time if you could reschedule your tour but in exceptional circumstances we can offer a refund.
Please do not hesitate to email or call us if you have any questions about a pre-booked tour or a new booking.
Our Distillery shop has now reopened to visitors and is fully compliant with all Covid-19 guidance. Our opening hours are:
Friday – 11am to 7pm
Saturday – 11am to 7pm
Sunday – 12pm to 4pm
If you would prefer to shop online our website is fully stocked and ready to fulfil all your spirit needs. Shipping is free to the UK mainland and we now also offer next day delivery if you’re shopping in a hurry.
Our open air bar has now closed for the winter season. We look forward to welcoming you back for a G&T in 2021.
We continue to deliver your favourite spirits to your doorstep for free across the UK mainland. Your purchase will always arrive within three to four working days, but usually within two.
If you live locally you may find that we deliver your order personally. Orders purchased on our website will be left on your doorstep, adhering strictly to social distancing guidelines. We ask you to stay at least 2 metres away from our delivery driver.
The Oxford Artisan Distillery continues to make hand sanitiser for Oxfordshire care homes, hospitals and the local community. We distribute sanitiser for free to individuals in need, distribute at cost to local charitable organisations and for a small fee to commercial organisations. As a small local distillery we are limited in how much we can do but with your support we can do more - please visit our gofundme page to find out more.
Our hand sanitiser follows the World Health Organisation’s recommended formulation of alcohol. All donations will be used to produce more hand sanitiser for those who need it most during the COVID-19 outbreak.
If you are a local organisation in need, please email info@theoxfordartisandistillery.com.
We are a resilient bunch and though the next month (or few months) will be tricky, we feel confident and determined to keep spirits up. Thank you, as always, for your support. We’re honoured to be part of this wonderful community.
We hope to welcome you to our distillery soon.
Stay safe,
The Team at The Oxford Artisan Distillery
