This small distillery actually produces quite a wide variety of spirits, including gold medal…read morewinning gins. They sell at farmers markets and also do tastings in private liquor stores with a discounted purchase. My favourites are the chocolate and coffee liquers. From the gin side, they have a bunch of unique offerings, including a Japanese one, but my personal preference is for the Seacider gin. The lemon lime and rhubarb gins are perfect for mixed drinks in the summer. The actual distiller was at the liquor store tasting I happened upon and apparently they use a local chocolatier's odds and ends to extract the chocolate flavour. At the distillery itself, they also had some nifty gift packs around the holidays. Prices are not cheap, but decent for a craft spirit and the size of the bottles, which are made from hefty glass. The tasting room is pretty small and bare bones. They seem to do decent traffic, though. But would be nice if they could add a patio area or expand and have some seating. I did have an issue with the stopper on the small coffee liquer bottle being a bit leaky, so watch out for that.

Each wine has its own distinct flavors and the owner is great and will tell you an interesting story behind all of them. I'm not a huge wine drinker but all of the wines I tried here made me want to be. The only downside we experienced was that we came at a time where they did not have any food. Cheese and fruit would have been a great accompaniment to the wine! I would definitely recommend coming but make sure you are coming when they have food as well!

We ran into their bartender Kenzy (who is super engaging and loves Gin) and we stopped in and got an education from her! She is delightful!!!! We even ended up there at happy hour(who knew) so grabbed a couple empress gin cocktails and she let us sample a couple of the other products. What a fun stop and their location is right by the marina so a cool place to hang as well. Their cocktails and products are so Well thought out with using the best ingredients and wow you can taste them!! The empress Gin is so subtle and beautiful. Well worth checking out and if they have a tour I would try that as we did not have time that night. And grab a few bottles while your there!
