Good to know

Do distilleries serve food?

Food offerings range from light bar snacks and cheese boards to full kitchen menus. Some industrial production spaces bring in food trucks on weekends, while others permit outside food. Check the specific venue details to see if a full meal is available on site.

What is included in a distillery tasting?

A standard tasting typically includes small pours of three to five house-made spirits, such as bourbon, gin, or vodka. Some locations include a guided talk or a quick tour of the stills, while others serve flights directly at the bar. Cocktails and full bottles are usually sold separately.

Do I need to make a reservation in advance?

Walk-ins are often welcome for basic counter service and bottle purchases, but formal tours and weekend seated tastings frequently require booking. If you are traveling with a group larger than six people, calling ahead is recommended to secure space.
