Delta Dirt Distillery

Fantastic Distillery and drinking room. The Deep Roots has a fantastic flavor. Had a chat with the owner, and you can see the love, care, and passion in his eyes for the craft. He keeps his prices very competitive, which was surprising with how great they tasted.

Had the pleasure of speaking with the owner and her husband. Wonderful people with warm energy and great food. The furniture was very comfortable as well. I was passing through so I, unfortunately, didn't get to taste the vodka. Everyone with me said it was good

What a fantastic place. They make remarkably good vodka and did the place up so it has a terrific vibe. I love the way they took the old building and restored it while making it modern as well. It's incredibly cool how you can sit at the bar and see the enormous copper still right through an huge window. The owners were behind the bar and very friendly. They even gave us a tour of how they make the spirits. They grow the sweet potatoes that the vodka is made from themselves, iif you can believe that! They're mixed cocktails were great too. They let us try a new raspberry cocktail they were developing. So sweet you couldn't taste the alcohol. My girlfriend loved it! I can't wait to go back there. It was totally worth driving half an hour to get there.

This place is amazing! The owners are very nice. We enjoyed touring the distillery and hearing the history of the how Delta Dirt came to be.

At Delta Dirt Distillery, you’ll meet an amazing family with a heartwarming story about a sharecropper’s grandkids who now own and farm the land. You’ll hear about how they use the sweet potatoes from their farm to make vodka, how they take the runoff back to the farm for the cows, and you’ll see a father, mother, and two sons working their tails off to be the best and first black owned farm to table distillery in America. They are also the first black owned distillery in Arkansas. Must mention their juniper flavored gin and smooth sweet potato vodka and how I didn’t get out of there without two bottles of each and some t-shirts. Their menu is creative and tasty. They are kind and smiley even when busy. And their bourbon is coming. Wow. Wow. Wow. I’ll be back. And with more friends. Memphis business owners you need to get into this asap. You’ll want it on your shelves and while your at it maybe invest in their restaurant they plan to place next door. If I had the $$. This place will be a gold mine one day.

The drinks were delicious. We loved the sweet potato vodka and the gin. The staff was absolutely amazing. We loved chatting with Harvey and Donavan. Cannot wait to visit again! -Amber and Ross

Wow! This place is a symbol of all that is good in America! The Williams family - Harvey, Donna and their two sons - started this business a year ago. They came up with their own mixture for their beverages and grow the sweet potatoes on their nearby farm. Their establishment is attractive, welcoming and comfortable. They are exceptionally friendly and positive. The Delta Dirt Distillery is a first step towards restoring Helena to its former glory. This is the American Dream in action! Highly recommended!

Loved it! A family place where they love what they do and draw you in with their personalities and history. The sweet potato based liquor is top-notch too!!

A visit to Delta Dirt Distillery is always going to be the right call! Another trip down to see our amazing friends...and to always make new ones...we tried drinks from their late summer/early fall seasonal menu. I started off with the Raspberry Lemon Drop martini and was floored by how delicious it was. Their martinis are made with vodka instead of gin and, for someone with a preference for a softer alcohol palette, this was simply perfection. Squeezing the extra bit of lemon juice in it from the lemon slice really sealed the deal. I then ordered the Salted Caramel Espresso martini and maaaaannnn...I could have melted right there in my seat! It was a perfect dose of coffee chocolate joy in a glass! The drink was equally beautiful in presentation and palatability. Every time I visit, I find a new favorite drink and these absolutely fit the bill!

Delta Dirt Distillery is serving up liquid gold in a bottle! After missing the chance to stop downtown Helena for a couple years in a row, I made it a point to try the sweet potato based spirits my family has been raving about. Right off the main drag in downtown Helena, Delta Dirt owners Harvey + Donna have really brought new life and craft cocktails to the area. What looks to be a full renovation of the space, DD has a great, open and inviting space to stop in for cool drink on a hot day. You walk in and can immediately smell the toasted sweet potatoes! We were able to get a quick tour of the distillery process and you can tell the Williams are extremely passionate about their product down to the very specific details in labeling, honoring their family's legacy and connection to Helena. All the spirits were excellent but the gin was the star of the show. Clean tasting, smooth, slighty sweet, with no bite, everyone our group took a bottle to go. Our favorite drink was the cucumber martini, and we'll all be trying to recreate that magic when we make it home! Ha! If you get the chance, definitely stop in to try this local award winning distiller and you will not be disappointed!!!!

The tour was fantastic! The story of how the farm began and evolved is inspiring. The Williams family clearly put in the work and followed a well thought out plan to deliver superior spirits. The sweet potato vodka is a must try, and the Arkansas Brown is in a class of its own. Do yourself a favor and set aside some time after the tour to relax at the bar and enjoy their delicious cocktails.

Black owned and a top tier experience from the history, to the drinks. The visit included a tour literally from their receiving area to the bar. Service was excellent with a down home vibe. The establishment was pristine and the vibes were plentiful! An abundance of parking on the street as well.

A great distillery with excellent products. A family run establishment with a family atmosphere. The distillery tour was very interesting and informative. Highly recommend.

Excellent Drinks and very nice people. Great tour of the distillery. I am definitely looking forward to going back and taking a few friends.

As farmers' granddaughters, my sister and I truly appreciated the heart and heritage behind Delta Dirt Distillery. The stories of family, farming, and perseverance that inspired the brand resonated deeply with us. The personalized touch of family photos and history added an authentic and meaningful layer to the experience. We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting--it was clear that craftsmanship and passion go into every bottle. The merchandise we purchased as gifts was a hit, and we look forward to spreading the word about this gem in Helena, Arkansas. We can't wait to send others your way to experience the warmth and pride of Delta Dirt for themselves!

The tour was excellent. Donovan taught us a lot as we walked through the squeaky clean distillery! It's a spacious and beautifully curated area. Everything is done with intention and homage to Papa Joe and his legacy of agriculture. The tour ends with sampling, my favorite was the Sweet Roots! And I ordered a seasonal s'mores martini which was delicious!! This place is a definite 10/10!

What a great surprise! Delta Dirt Distillery is just getting started; they're pouring vodka, and have bourbon and gin on the way - all distilled from sweet potatoes from their family's farm. The staff was super friendly and helpful. We were greeted warmly and offered a small sample of their vodka, then chose a couple of the specialty cocktails on the menu. They were $12 each, and generous pours, perfect for sipping as we took a break from sight-seeing. I love that there's a Black owned small business taking a chance on Cherry Street, and wish them every success. We'll be back!

I loved going to this distillery! The entire distillery is a WHOLE VIBE! This atmosphere allows you the opportunity to just chill and relax. This is a small black owned business located in downtown Helena, AR. The Vodka is A-mazing to say the least and has a wonderful smell. The Vodka has won a Double Gold award for 2022 in the World Spirits Competition, so you know they are the real deal. They also have Gin and Bourbon. Their liquors are even located in a few liquor stores in AR, TN, and MS and will be in more across multiple states sooner than later. So if you need a place to relax and unwind, you have to make a stop at this AR distillery.

The spirits are amazing. I have purchased Delta Dirt Vodka and Rum for several friends and family. They love it.

I've been coming to Helena my whole life, as my family is from here. I love what the business represents for Black people as well as for the town in general. We originally picked a 6pm time, however we were super late and they still took us on the tour, abbreviated, but definitely still worth the money. The family is so gracious and full of personality and love, we had nothing but laughs, jokes and rich history. These are the kind of folks we as patrons need to help propel towards success. We wish them nothing but success and triumphs! PS- make it to STL!

Great distillery with a terrific story . We were lucky to have Thomas who is also the distiller as our tour guide. We had the top shelf vodka & gin martinis dirty. They were amazing. The vodka & gin was also delicious on its own. The place has a cool vibe. They are valiantly trying to revive their small hometown which isn't going to be easy so I highly recommend supporting them by buying their product whenever you see it. If you are from Pennsylvania you can order it through Botld.

A group o friends recently hosted a bridal shower at Delta Dirt Distillery in Helena AR. Great venue! As a family own business they are making Vodka, Gin and Bourbon out AR raised sweet potatoes (the family raise them). If you are ever near Helena go visit!

Ok, read about this place in Forbes and had to try it. WOW! The vodka (which in made from sweet potatoes) is truly unique and delicious. The cocktails they serve are absolutely terrific. And the staff, super friendly. If you are anyplace even close, it is definitely worth the detour.

I love that the distillery is black owned and their products are produced from a farm. The owners are amazing and very knowledgeable about the process and they make you feel at home. The drinks are really good and the environment is welcoming.
