Drink What’s Next
Sabbatical is a new kind of distillery. We blend generations of farming tradition with innovative craft distilling to create high quality spirits for the discerning drinker. We believe in hard work and venturing beyond the expected. We believe it’s always a good time to take a break from the routine, learn something new and share the experience. It’s a good time for a Sabbatical.

A better equation
Grown on a farm.
The story of every good drink begins with the raw ingredients. We plant, grow and harvest estate crops right here on the island, and carefully source what we don’t yet have on-site.
Made in a lab.
A spirits lab. A scientific approach to perfecting every last detail is at the core of our distilling philosophy.
Out on an island.
The piece of earth we’re proud to call home is Victoria Island, a 7,000 acre farm of rich organic peat soil nestled in the California Delta. Just east of San Francisco, our unique location at the nexus of the urban and the rural provides endless inspiration for a fresh take on California farm-made spirits. From our fields to our stills, it all happens out here on the island.
