Ad Gefrin is the first of its kind, bringing together a contemporary museum with a pioneering Whisky Distillery at the gateway to the Cheviot Hills in Wooler. It celebrates the best of Northumbria – both the Golden Age, through the archaeology of the 7th century royal palace discovered just four miles away, and the rich produce of the region today, from barley for their Single Malt to local suppliers for their bistro and shop.
Ad Gefrin celebrates the Golden Age of Northumbria, offering visitors a timeless journey back to the 7thcentury summer palace of the Northumbrian Kings and Queens, discovered only four miles from Wooler.
Sitting in the heart of some of the finest barley-producing country in the world, England’s northernmost whisky distillery benefits from pure Cheviot water pumped up from beneath the distillery. Tours follow the full journey from the arrival of the grain to the maturing of the filled casks and end with the chance to taste their award-winning spirits under the expert guidance of an Alchemist.
Finish a visit with a glass of something special on the terrace or around the fire, or by sharing a meal from BÄ“odern, the on-site bistro. Then just before you go, nip into the Shop to find unusual gifts from some of the finest designer makers, both from the local area and further afield, so that you can take a little bit of Ad Gefrin home with you.
