I a big gin drinker, the gin they have here is just amazing. You can sip it and it's really smooth. The drinks here are amazing . The best drink in the tasting was their 8 yoa bourbon, very smooth and a little sweet, great for sipping or mixing. The vodka also tasted good in drinks. This was one of the best distillery I have tried. Service was very friendly and knowledgeable. The building is absolutely beautiful inside and if it's nice outside, the scenery behind the distillery is amazing with a creek running right past the back porch. The do offer charcuterie and other snacks to eat here when there are no food trucks. You are also allowed to bring your own food, which is what we did.. I can't wait to go here again when I come back next year. read more

Had a great time here for the Sperryville Bluegrass festival. $55 for 3 bands, a small cocktail, and "all you can eat" pulled pork. Beautiful setting, building and. Incredibly friendly staff. The music was quite bluegrass but it was great. The cocktails were small and incredibly overpriced ($11). The pulled pork was good. read more

It's an interesting and cozy place that makes you feel like you're at a Tennessee distillery. I tried their flight, and it was so good that I ended up taking a bottle home. They have both indoor and outdoor seating. Don't expect top-notch service, but just be nice and enjoy the experience. Overall, it was a great time and definitely worth a visit. read more

Just walking in the door is a memorable experience. The antique building has so much character, and the employees match that with their great service. The amazing cocktails are expertly assembled. Don't forget to try the pickle juice shooter! Have fun with it. The distillery has tours and given with knowledge and passion. You can sit along the river in the back and watch the water as you sip. Of course, all of their distilled bottles are great for sipping. My all time fave is the Rye i. an Old Fashioned! One of my favorites at Three Blacksmith's restaurant using the Copper Fox Rye. read more

We were lured by the signs on the road to Copper Fox Distillery. Keep following the signs and then keep following the signs some more and you'll come across the large dilapidated looking barn and you've arrived. It was a chilly day and we followed the instructions to ring the bell when we were outside. Shout out to the folks here who provide the cute cat with a heated blanket to lay on during cold weather. Members of the staff quickly came by to let us in and we walked into a empty sitting area. To be fair, it was around 3:00pm on a Wednesday. The vibe inside is eclectic, homey, and comfortable. We grabbed a seat at a table near the fire. We had time to review menu. I picked a classic Whiskey Sour and my Mom got one of their warm whiskey cocktails. Both of us really enjoyed ours. We sipped and savored them and just enjoyed a bit of a respite from our road trip. We both got a bottle of their whiskey to take home with us. These aren't your standard whiskeys and they are definitely more expensive than what you'd probably get in the liquor store. We've been enjoying our purchases at home since our visit. Copper Fox is a nice stop and I'd recommend it to folks wanting a break and a beverage. read more

Delightful distillery that smells like history and serves an array of drinks befitting the setting. In the summer, you can go sit outside near the creek. In the winter, stay inside and sit near one of the fireplaces. Whatever time you decide to come, it's always going to be a magical experience. This is old school, but in the best possible way. read more

We stumbled across this distillery after hiking and were pleasantly surprised with our experience! On a chilly day we were welcomed in by a friendly waitress/hostess who brought us into their main lounge, heated by a live fireplace. Their main staple is whiskey and although I'm not a big whiskey drinker, when in Rome! The spiked apple cider I got was like a hot toddy and absolutely divine! Their food options were pretty limited but I understood as their focus was whiskey. If you're lucky, you'll get to say hi to Steve or Midnight, their two kitty "hosts"! read more

Have a plan B if you're thinking of visiting Copper Fox. My husband and I went here today for a tasting and when we arrived, the doors were locked. We could hear people inside but could not get in. We double checked all of the signage. They were clearly open but we were stumped on how to get in. We walked around the building, tried the door again and stood there scratching our heads. After several odd experiences in this little town of Sperryville, we were beginning to think we were sucked into an episode of The Twilight Zone. Finally, a man comes out of another door marked private so we asked him how to get in. He informed us that they "more or less" at capacity so we couldn't go in. No signage- no communication, just a locked door. Weird read more

Really great spot with great flights and cocktails. It has a quirky and unique ambiance which makes for great pictures! They also have a really great outdoor which was picturesque. The people were friendly and the service was quick. You could also bring in your own snacks as long as it's not hot food. Would definitely recommend visiting if you're in the area! read more

I have no idea how this place is in such a small town, but what an incredible surprise! I didn't get nearly enough pictures to do this place justice, but if you're near Sperryville this distillery is a must-stop! The interior is very cool, and being able to have some DELICIOUS drinks seated next to a running stream at sunset... C'mon. Never would I have expected something like this in a town of this size. It's worth going out of your way to stop in! read more

Copper Fox Distillery - Outdoor Area - Distilleries Near Me - Sperryville, Virginia

This is a must try! We almost did not and I am so happy we made the decision to stop in. The inside is a nice rustic feel. The back is alongside a creek that you sit by and can see the mountain. By far the best view in Sperryville. They do table service which was a great surprise so you can sit down and someone will serve you. The drinks were also great and I am not a huge fan of whiskey. We will definitely be back next time we are in that area. read more

My buddies and I drove to Sperryville specifically to visit this distillery! We've been to the one in Williamsburg but they didn't carry all the varieties that this location has! Tucked down a small road, you'll find this rustic building with some tasty libations. We got a whiskey flight and purchased some rye! We got a tour from the friendly staff and even went to the antique shop across the lot. Found some gems in there too! All and all a very spirited trip!! read more

Absolutely love this place. We were here on a mini fall vacation and happened upon this distillery. The site was charming and the outdoor area was perfect with the stream. We got a few flights and a cocktail and enjoyed the afternoon cool air. 10/10 would recommend! read more

Flights to delight! Don't let the outside fool you, it is another world inside. You are greeted by Midnight and Steve, the distillery cats who are happy to direct you to your seats and are all about making you feel welcome. There are water dishes and dog treats as well for our other furry friends. Shawn and Matt will also check in on you frequently, as will Steve the cat. The whiskeys here are smoky and smooth. I also had the gin and it was phenomenal! Not heavy on the juniper at all, definitely a true botanical delight; you can taste the lemon balm, cinnamon, anise and the cacophony of flavors that shout out summer herb garden in your mouth! The converted cider mill tasting area is beautifully appointed with casual card tables reminiscent of times gone by as well as a lovely piano and of course, barrel table tops. You are transported to simpler times and genuine hospitality here. You can slow sip your whiskey and watch the river roll by outside or listen to some home box music indoors. Today was a good day for a hot toddy with Coper Fox Rye, hot apple cider, lemon with cloves. Simple, yet satisfying on a sunny winter day that is a touch cool enough to enjoy the liquid warmth of the toddy. I think I may have another before we depart. Do pick up a few bottles as they are already out of the Dawson's reserve. read more

No headache or hangover. Love it! That's number one on the "how pure is your spirit" list for me. I don't want to feel bad and this place made me love whisky again! read more

We stopped in before dinner at 3 Blacksmiths and really liked the place! They were out of the gin, and while I am not partial to whiskey, I had a really fun whiskey-based cream soda cocktail. My husband loves whiskey, so he tried two of their old fashioned cocktails, and said they were great. The service was friendly and they sit on a creek you can look out on. The interior is a lot of fun too -- lots of antiques and comfortable seating. We are looking forward to coming back! read more

This is a great place to come and hang out for a while with good--if not amazing--whiskey and cocktails while enjoying the sound of a gurgling creek under the shade of large trees. It's really hard to complain about any of that. We were able really enjoy the time by the creek outdoors with the kids watching some TV on tablets and we wound up taking two bottles of yummy whiskey home which we've had while we played board games for the ~6 months since. They were also incredibly good about COVID giving us our space and letting us stay outside. Even putting our drinks on a separate table 10-15' away from us and letting us come and get them. We will definitely be back. read more

I've gone here a couple of times now at least four and have enjoyed many of their drinks. I also tasted one of their flights. On this most recent trip I tried the Ward 8 and what jumped out at me was that it had grenadine in it and I'm akin to that flavor. So, I ended up getting the drink and then once my other friends tried it, we ended up ordering three more of those. Overall, a great place to visit, sit in the back and there's a creek of water and, there's sometimes music playing. Whether it's the spring summer or winter, you can't go wrong and come here to try their drinks. I've bought some drinks from here in the past for some friends as presents and my other friends seem to stock up on their liquor. We enjoy coming here at least 3 to 4 times a year and make it one of our stops when we're out visiting this area. We live about an hour and a half away so we usually pile up a car and make our way down here with at least four to six people. We first stop by and get some food in our bellies at a local pizza place, then come here and then end up at a winery. read more

You might be a little leery prior to going in. Maybe just slightly. Don't be. You'll know once you get inside. Oh the smells. I think it's the barrels. It smells amazing inside. They have a little store where you can buy merch. My brothers bought a few items. Two of my brothers bought both of the whiskey flights; they seemed to really enjoy them. My other brother and friend got mixed drinks without alcohol (long drives and all). They said they were fantastic. This place is very rustic. The furniture choice is amazing, very eclectic. They've sourced the tables/chairs from several locations. Outside there's great seating options and a little crick that runs through. We all agreed this was a fantastic place to visit. read more

This Distillery is in this little alcove with an antique shop, a brewery, a pocket sized ceramics studio and shop, and a couple of other things that are escaping my memory. Ring the doorbell to get in. The giant VERY antiqued door takes some special finessing, and they'll do that for you. Me and T did a tasting of some of the straight liquors while we were here. And to be honest, I wasn't really dissapointed or adverse to anything we tasted. I believe we tasted Rye, Whiskey. I know we tasted Gin. The woman who was leading our taste was so patient and kind. That really made the whole experience worth while. We kept vacillating on which tasting we should do, and how we should structure it. And she was just a truly wonderful guide. Overall, the liquors are pretty expensive if you'd like to buy any of the bottles. Definitely more special occasion drinking for me. That being said, they have some beautiful bottles, really high quality spirits. PLUS there's a little creek in the back, and when it's spring, I'm sure it's pretty lively out there. In the winter, it's not too shabby for taking perfect instagram photos as well. Would definitely love to stop back here and try some of their cocktails when we have time. We stopped by here on the way to The Inn At Little Washington. Definitely glad that we did! read more

Copper Fox is the dominant part of the Blue Ridge Whisky Wine Loop in Sperryville, VA. It's mysterious and chill. This Distillery is nestled into the backyard of a dirt road. With a huge wooden barn door like entrance, guests have to ring a doorbell to enter. Inside, looks like a warehouse with many random antiques. Usually, one staff member works at a time. The service is always extremely professional, but very casual. Copper Fox has a tour, tasting, cocktail bar, and a merchandise store. We did the tasting. The bourbons were smoky, distinct, and one of a kind. They were sold out of the peach bourbon when we went (which was due to popularity). We then had a few cocktails, which is a must if you want the whole Copper Fox experience. I chose a spicy honey whisky cocktail and my husband chose a blow torch induced smoky bourbon, neat. My husband had two, he liked it so much. My spicy honey cocktail was the highlight of my visit. Spicy and sweet!! The cocktails are seasonal and are subject to change. You won't find a more crafted and unique cocktail menu than the one here. We took our cocktails out back to enjoy more peace and quiet. The patio overlooks the river. We stayed for an hour because it was so relaxing. Our little pup was also invited in the tasting area and back patio. We purchased the gin and a soft long sleeved shirt. We can't wait to come back when in the area! read more

Cute place hidden in the mountains. We sat right by the creek which was beautiful. They do close early, and we got there about 30mins before closing so we didn't get to try a lot. I got an old fashioned which was delicious. I'll have to come back to try other cocktails! read more

We have been to quite a few distilleries but this one left us feeling unimpressed. The gentleman at the counter didn't even seem to care that we were there and we were the only ones in the joint (besides some folks drinking out back). We had the premium tasting and the flavors were just okay. They may had been better if the overall experience of customer service was better. They did have some merchandise for sale. We left buying nothing, which is unusual for us and have no desire to go back. read more

on Thursday, 07 March, 2024, we arrived to order 4 beverages at 6:44 pm. We had 16 more minutes to order at the Happy Hour special. we asked if the old Fashions were $8. The answer was yes. upon paying, my husband didn't look at the receipt until later, we discovered NO we did not get a discount. We called to no avail & actually stopped by on Friday, 08. We were informed that we were told incorrect & they didn't compensate. We will NOT return. Micah was pretentious & it was she who gave us the information. read more

Copper Fox is a great place for cocktails in Sperryville / Rappahannock County! I didn't try any whiskey flights, but their cocktails are out of this world, and well worth the $10. Copper Fox also has a a great vibe both inside and out - especially on a nice day you can sit out back by the river and it's ideal. Inside there is an area to buy their whiskey and other related merch that I wish I had more time to check out. They close at 6, so make sure to try and get there a bit before to enjoy it! Finally, the bartender/owner, whose name I didn't catch, is great - super inviting, nice, and made me feel right at home. I am definitely stopping by next time I am in the area. read more

Copper Fox Distillery - a drink and a glass of water - Distilleries Near Me - Sperryville, Virginia

We've been to Sperryville tons of times, especially over the past 5 years, but have never visited Copper Fox Distillery, until this past weekend. While in the area, we stopped in. I was an interesting visit; first, we arrive at the door and there's a sign to ring the doorbell and someone looks through the peep door to see who's there and open the door. Upon entering, they give a menu and explain where the restrooms, store and seating is located. Seating here was amazing, as it's right on the Thornton River, which runs through their backyard. They have several tables out there along the bank of the river, as well as several more back against the building, under some canopies. Their back yard area has beautiful sounds from the river's water running over the rocks as well as amazing views of the farm behind them and the mountain range off in the distance... definitely an amazing place to sit & sip! The staff is helpful and friendly, as well as knowledgeable about their menu... but not so knowledgeable about their website nor the offering on their site, as there was a cocktail kit being sold on their site that I asked about (which was supposed to come with a recipe card), the cashier wasn't aware of what I was referring to at all, but I still bought the liquid components of the "kit" just without the recipe card that was supposed to accompany it. The quality of their spirits was nice and definitely worked very well with their cocktails! They have a really nicely laid out menu with awesome cocktails in it as well! Overall, we loved our visit and can't wait to return! read more

Great find. The whiskey is amazing and the site is comfortable and interesting. I enjoyed a flight of four premium whiskeys while my wife had a delicious hot toddy.

Fascinating whisky manufacturing process. The staff and crew were very nice. I would go again anytime.

So this was a 50/50 deal for us. The product is great and deserves the 5 star status but the service and "closed off ness" was really not good. Especially after just coming from Ragged Branch, the striking difference between an Open-For-Business and super friendly place and this place was real. Astonishing: the 8-10 people who were there today had occupied the four 2-top tables available so we sat at a 6 top down by the creek, of which there were two, both empty on a Sunday afternoon. After being greeted by the hostess and given waters and tasting menus, our came a little waiter fellah who told us we'd have to move because these tables were reserved for parties of 6. "There are no parties of six anywhere around, I notice." I said. But he insisted we needed to move and wait for an open table. We did, and after a while a couple of chairs opened up on the porch. Naturally, no parties of six came to occupy the sacred 6 tops. We were perplexed at the 1/4 ounce pours on the flight as well as the fact that bar and merch areas were all roped off. No bourbon, no single malt and no Rye available either??? Seems like they could use a mentor or some training on how to operate a customer-centered retail location. We might buy a bottle at the ABC store but we certainly will not be back to the distillery. Too bad. We came to buy today but will leave empty handed. --- read more

Honestly one of the best American distilleries I've ever had the pleasure of experiencing. Their whisky is smoked, and aged incredibly well. The gin is outstandingly different than what you normally find. You can get flights, along with some fun cocktails. It's in the middle of nowhere, and that kind of adds to the experience. Sit outside and enjoy the mountain atmosphere. I recommend the old fashioned, it might be one of the best you'll ever have. read more
