I have been to Heritage Distilling a couple times before, all different locations on my visits so…read moreour most recent visit to this location for the first time. This location is right near the Tumwater Craft District and even though it isn't in the main building for that it may be considered a part of it since it's literally across the parking lot. I really liked this location as it has a great patio view. I really liked the merchandise and had my eyes set on an Art Deco flask that is exclusive to their tasting rooms. We usually get flights if we are planning to stay and we got the Lemon Drop Trio Flight which made up of Florence Vodka, Peach Vodka and Coconut Vodka. All very sweet but very tasty. This distillery is a great addition to this area and to the Craft District and offers a different option if a person doesn't want a cider or a craft beer from the options in the main building.

I had a wonderful experience at Highside Distilling. I went to Bainbridge Island with my boyfriend…read moreas a day trip and we wanted to find a nice spot for a drink. We saw this place on yelp and thought it would be a great spot to find locally brewed spirits. When we entered we were greeted by Rob and Dylan. They were super friendly and Dylan did a great job at explaining the different spirits and what they have to offer. We decided to each do the 4 glass tasting for $15 and with 8 tastings total we got to taste most of what they had to offer. My boyfriend loved everything he tasted! I'm not really a big fan of darker liquors but I really loved the Harvest Gin and Eagle Harbor Brandy, I had to bring a bottle of each home to share. We drove to Bainbridge so it was super easy to get there and there was lots of parking available. Overall an amazing experience with great conversation and definitely will be visiting again.

We had such a fun time here. We got this recommendation from a bartender near the Queen Anne…read moredistrict. They said high side distillery was a must try place on Bainbridge Island. Getting there, the drive was really simple and the surroundings beautiful. The distillery itself is tucked away in the back near some other garages. There is parking near there but it is limited. We chose to sit outside because it was such a beautiful day. The service there was great because the individual behind the bar was very attentive, asked us questions about what we liked, and gave recommendations based on our answers. We wanted to start off with the flight, which was a great option because it helped us really decide on the drinks we wanted to try out that were recommended to us. In the end we got two drinks each and walked away with a bottle of brandy and gin. Safe to say that we enjoyed what we tasted. Highly recommend if you are in the area and want a nice chill experience.

* Business closure notice* Heritage Distilling Co. still has…read moreamazing products but alas all of the company's tasting rooms are closing. The Gig Harbor location closes at the end of December ( of 2025). We were over in Gig Harbor this past weekend to see a friend and were actually surprised to to see this tasting room still open. We knew that Heritage has closed many tasting room locations already and just assumed that the Gig Harbor location closed some time ago. But nope, they are still around for a few more weeks. We got some spirits here. I got some miniature bottles of vodka and whiskey and Steve got a spirit that has an amazing Earl Grey flavor so we definitely had a nice purchasing "Hurrah" here before this location closes. Despite all tasting rooms closing Heritage Distilling will still exist as it is going to a production only operation.

The organic vodka tastes like unfiltered Ozark Moonshine. Perhaps this is the natural taste of…read moreorganic, but it is a totally unrelenting vodka taste that I will not soon forget. There is a reason why most vodkas are multiple times filtered and that is to get rid of this awful taste. They will not win any competitions with this approach. I am truly sorry, because I lived on Bainbridge Island for many years and I know the effort and enthusiasm of these distillers are sincere and honest, but truth be told this vodka sticks, literally.

John & Jennifer had a dream and they have made it reality with their passion, hard work and dedication and it shows! We came to Sandstone Distillery through Harvest Host, a membership program that offers unique overnight stays for RV'ers. We arrived on a day the tasting room wasn't open however John & Jennifer graciously opened their doors for us and gave us and evening we'll forever remember! My husband and I each had a different tasting, one was amber spirits and one was clear spirits. The tasting also came with some premixed cocktails they offer. With each spirit and cocktail, John told their story which created a genuine interest in the spirits! We sipped each one and learned so much about the process and passion that it takes to create amazing spirits. We walked away with three different bottles and returned two days later for 3 more!! Jennifer has also created some utterly amazing sipping vinegars, Wild Heart Sipping Vinegar, and will offer a tasting of those as well, make sure you taste them, they're phenomenal! We had a great time at Sandstone Distillery and will definitely be back!

But we do like to change it up and go to a distillery or a winery frim time to time. Stopping at Sandstone was just the perfect stop for this change of pace.

The staff were wonderful as they were very friendly and took us around on a small tour going over the distilling process and the history of the equipment there. This was a great stop and one worth making stops at whenever you are nearby. I also believe you can get their products online or at select stores.
