This place is awesome. Gorgeous and spacious patio. I tried the lavender vodka, the gin, they rye, and the bourbon. All good but my faves are a toss up between the bourbon and the rye. Mike greeted us and made us feel at home. I definitely recommend!

Hands down best Wheat whiskey on the market. No jokes, this is a hidden gem.

A must for anyone who likes vodka, agave, rum, bourbon, and whiskey! The owner and distiller, Mike, was delightful! The patio area is beautiful and pleasant. FIVE STARS for this establishment!

Owner Mike B, is a warm host and great distiller. He is a wealth of knowledge on things Spirts. Huge thumbs up for his Rye Whiskey ...so many more notes than just Rye swirl in each barrel shape shot glass. Cheers!

Definitely check this distillery out when you're in the area. Mike is both passionate about his craft, and a good host, with good conversation. A wide variety of choices, we particularly enjoyed the rye and the lavender vodka. We bought a bottle of each and have enjoyed them at home. I plan to return and if you have any doubts, shelf them and go!

My wife and I wanted a quick drink before dinner and glad to have found this great place. Friendly owner who took us around a mini tour.

Visited Oakhurst Spirits last Friday in the early evening (the last hour before Mike closed up) and had a really great time. Visited with Mike about the distillery, about making spirits, about baseball, about places we've been, and about his products. I enjoyed everything I tasted and was so knocked out by the wheat whiskey that I brought back a 750 ml bottle. Really worth the tasting fee, even without a discount on the actual product. (I felt I got my money's worth from the tasting.) I highly recommend a visit if you're staying in Oakhurst during a Yosemite trip.
This is a great place to visit. We had a tour and tasting - thoroughly enjoyed our time with the owner, Mike, while learning about the distillery process. Mike is charming, very knowledgeable. It was a nice activity to fit in between the more active excursions. I'm not a fan of whiskies, but figured it would be fun to learn more and try them. Plus, he has some other choices as well: rum, brandy, gin, lavender vodka. Or you could just order a cocktail.

Sadly I would NEVER recommend this establishment! My friend and I were traveling and looking for somewhere to have a drink after spending the day in Yosemite. We wandered into this establishment and were not even acknowledged upon entering. It appears by the pictures posted the owner was behind the bar and he was speaking to a couple seated in front of him. We thought , ok he will finish what he’s saying and at least ask us if we would like to have a seat or order, or really just Hello and welcome.After we stood there for a few minutes feeling completely uncomfortable as if we had walked into a private party we left. He still didn’t acknowledge us leaving! I would NOT give this business a single dollar! Customer service goes a long way these days... especially when recovering from COVID19 shutdown.

Great mountain distillery with a cozy atmosphere and beautiful art gallery. A must-stop on the way to or from Yosemite National Park! Mike offers whiskey tastings, flavored vodka and - get this - hot buttered rum in the cold weather! You can also ask for a free tour of the distillery. SO FUN!
