Visitor Information

Ewing Young Distillery shares Ewing Young Farm™ with a private residence 

and Oakhurst Equine, a busy equine vet practice and breeding and training facility.

For the safety of all visitors and animals, and to respect the privacy of the residents, 

Distillery visitors must stay in the Distillery area unless on a guided tour.

1.  For the safety of all visitors and animals, and to respect the privacy of the Oakhurst vets, their

clients, and farm residents, Distillery visitors must stay in the Distillery area unless on a guided tour.  

Do not go past the green signs alongside the pond.

2.  We welcome visitors on our tasting patio--all seating is outdoors.

Dress like you will be outdoors, but under cover.  Wear boots.  Bring an extra jacket.

3.  We do not sell food.  Feel free to bring your own picnic--many people do!

4.  Drive SLOWLY and be patient!  

Horses, people, horse trailers, farm vehicles, and tractors have the right-of-way.  

Sometimes we have to wait while they check or unload a horse.

Go straight all the way down the long entry driveway until it turns to gravel.

Turn right at the blue hay barn.  

We are all the way at the end of the long red building.

Please do not park in front of (and block access to) the blue hay barn.

5.  Drive SLOWLY when you leave, too! Thank you.

6.  History Walk & Talks (formerly "tours") are on Sunday by reservation only.  

Complimentary with the purchase of a bottle or flight.  

Wear your walking shoes!   

Please schedule online at our "Shop and Book" page.  

Kids are free but must be accompanied by an adult over 21. 

7.  Tours are taken at your own risk. WATCH YOUR STEP.

It's a working horse farm.  Wear sturdy shoes that can get dirty and watch your step.

The ground is uneven, there are yellow jackets and mosquitoes at times, 

large gopher holes pepper the lawns, and it is muddy in spots.

Horses may bite.  

8.  DO NOT TOUCH THE STALLIONS.  They definitely bite.

Bug spray is advisable beginning at dusk.  

Unfortunately, dogs are no longer welcome on tours.

9.  Please stay in the distillery area unless accompanied by a guide.   

The distillery area is marked by the "No alcohol allowed beyond this point" signs.

Well-behaved dogs on leash are welcome.  

Thanks for your cooperation.  

The farm residents and the vet practice and their customers appreciate it.  As do we.

10.  Be forewarned, if your dog loves water, s/he will probably want a dip in the pond. 

(Ours always do.)  Might want to bring a towel. 

And, of course, scoop their poop.  We have poop bags.    

11.   As a farm-based distillery, we are not allowed to have a kitchen to serve real food.  

Occasionally we have guest Food Trucks, and when we do, we ask that you patronize those vendors.  

Otherwise, you are welcome to bring your own food and eat it in the Tasting area.  

DoorDash delivers to us.  Be sure to specify that you are at the Distillery, not the vet office

12.  We love groups!  Call to arrange a day and time: 503-799-6667.  

More information on our Private Events page.

13.  The Ewing Young Distillery patio is wheelchair- and walker-friendly.   

Some of the tour areas are not readily accessible (under the tree, for example).

Handicap parking is available.   You can drive right up to the tasting tent.

14.  By law, all horse properties are "enter at your own risk" because 

horses are big, strong, fast, and at times, unpredictable.  

Sometimes animals bite, sometimes they kick.  

Don't try to pet the stallions or stick your fingers through fences.  

Don't stand behind horses.

It happens rarely, but horses can get spooked and run lose.  

Be vigilant and aware of your surroundings.  

15.  YES, we are kid- and dog- friendly!  

We love kids and dogs and both are welcome and must be supervised by someone 21+.  

Dogs must be leashed and sadly are no longer welcome on History Walk & Talks.
