Welcome to The Hooting Owl Distillery

Yorkshire’s premier, award winning, artisan spirits distiller & winner of multiple Great Taste awards.

Situated just a short walk from York train station, within the Bar Walls of one of the most historic and beautiful cities in the world. Every drop of Hooting Owl gin, rum & vodka is distilled here.

Distillery Tour and Gin Tasting

Your journey starts with a warm welcome followed by a generous Hooting Owl Signature gin.

You’ll tour our distillery, learning about the distillation process and what makes Hooting Owl so special.

Then into our lounge bar to taste 4 more of our world-class gins whilst gaining an understanding of how the botanicals influence the flavours and, most importantly, how to maximise your next gin! All this wrapped up in a Hooting Owl tale.

The tour will finish with another full measure of your choice from The Hooting Owl range.

No worries if gin isn’t your tipple of choice as we also distil a selection of vodkas and rums which you can sample instead.

Once your tour is complete, you’re welcome to stay with us and soak up the atmosphere. Our lounge bar is open from 12pm to 11pm 7 days a week.
