    Central Cascades from the back deck at the distillery tasting room
    Mike V.

    Stock up on your favorite spirits (Hazelnut Espresso and Ginger Vodkas for sure) and try some really fun cocktail variations you can try at home (Key Lime Pie martini and Oregon Bulldog are crowd pleasers). Sun hits the back deck in the winter until around 3p. Great views of the central Cascades. Lots of deals on bottles, less than you'd pay at even Wine&More or BevMo, make great gifts for out of state family and friends.

    What a great place to stop between Sisters and Bend. We have purchased several of their products since we discovered them several years ago. The location is just off the highway in a nice open field sitting right next to the view of the cascade mountains. You can enjoy Three Sisters, Three Fingered Jack, Jefferson, Hood and even Adams in Washington. We were greeted immediately after entering and the employees are super friendly and engaging. We decided to sit outside and enjoy the view with an Aged Flight and a couple of cocktails. This is a must stop for sure. Side note there is an area for dogs to run fenced in and some chickens to enjoy out front.

    Mini cocktail list. Also multiple mocktail choices
    Ilona S.

    Mini cocktails? Yes! What a great way to try some of their spirits in a smaller sized cocktail! They were $5 for a 5-6 oz cocktails with about an ounce of their distilled booze in it. They have gin, vodka and rye whiskey. Different flavors with it too. I had a "Tootsie roll" ; rye whiskey, chocolate, cream. Yumm. Tasting room was ok, not busy. Easy to miss on the way from Sunriver to Bend but worth a quick stop. They sell the booze by the bottle too of course.

    One of the martini varieties; as you can tell it was delicious!

    This was a great spot to sample some locally made spirits. The tasting room was tastefully decorated and the patio was adorned with hanging baskets and their were misters running. Although today while we were there a massive amount of brushfire smoke inundated the outside patio!! The service was superb and our barmaid was very knowledgeable and super friendly. There was samples available of their spirits and they also had CBD and MCT products available, that they also offered samples of. The CBD products also consisted of CBD infused sparkling waters that were available to sample. Part of the tasting room consisted of a gift shop with some souvenir merchandise as well as the CBD products and several customer tables. The other half included a bar and several customer tables. The drink menu was quite extensive and the drinks were smaller than a full size bar cocktail but very delicious and well prepared. Great prices also $6 per cocktail I would definitely go back and try several more of the different cocktails.

    You can select your own tasting

    I've been trying to go for the past 2 years and finally my other half took me for my birthday! Walked in and there's a cute indoor seating area. You also have the option to sit outside on the patio looking into the distillery and grass area. I think they were short staffed but the lady that helped us was super nice and friendly. There were no food options to order but you are allowed to bring outside food in. Cute place, many different drinks to try including cocktails, give it a "shot!" Cheers!

    1st time visiting a distillery, but I've had many of the crater lake brand liquors so I had to stop by. Located a outside of the downtown bend area, this place has an amazing view of the mountains while you tour the distillery and try samples. By the way, the flight of 6 samples is free as of now at this location. Such a great value, my favorite was the hazelnut espresso. After your flight, indulge in some mini cocktails that showcase some of the great flavors of their liquor. I could have stayed there all day, sipping on cocktails and enjoying the view but I had so many other places on the itinerary. Will be back the next time I'm in bend.

    Bloody Mary two ways - one with Hatch Vodka and the other with Pepper Vodka.
    Lori T.

    Road trip traveling means we find places like this - completely unexpected, and so good! Maya was so helpful in guiding us through the different options. She is knowledgeable and offered such creative drinking recipes. Sitting outside in the warm open air while sipping some of the best whiskey I've ever had and looking out to the snow covered mountains. Breath taking! Don't leave without having a Bloody Mary too!

    6 product tasting. Yumm.

    We love stopping by Bendistillery, now known as Crater Lake Spirits, whenever we drive through Bend. Their gin, vodka and hazelnut spirits are staples in our bar. On our most recent trip, we stopped by and sampled some other flavors and had a lovely visit. We ended up downtown Bend at their tasting room and an important distinction should be made: It appears that the tasting at the Pinehurst Road location is free, but the tasting at the downtown location is not free. (More on that in my review of that particular location which I did not love as much...) So it's definitely worth a stop at this location for some yummy tasters, mini cocktails and breathtaking views of the Three Sisters.

    Grapefruit basil martini
    Alison M.

    This was one of the highlights of my recent 3 night trip to Bend. I have never tasted at a distillery, it was a wonderful experience. I tried the vodka, premium vodka, ginger vodka, gin, and hazelnut espresso vodka. After doing the tasting you can only have one cocktail, I had gin and grapefruit juice. I took home a sampler and t-shirt. The tasting is free, the drink was $3. Two small complaints: the samples were served at room temperature. Also there is a serving limit even though I had a DD. I would have liked to try another few of those tasty cocktails. Update: James the Manager sent me a super nice message addressing my gripes :) here is part of it "We serve our spirits at room temperature because you can taste the nuances of the liquor better. When you chill a liquor you mask some of the "heat" of it. When you have liquor tastings in the future notice that most of them will not be at room temp, that means they are trying to hide the true flavor of their liquor. Also, we have a tasting limit because it is Oregon state law." Thanks dude! Room temperature liquor reminds me of one night in Mexico I would rather forget.

We did the 4 hour, 4 brewery tour and it was just as educational and interesting as it was fun and delicious. Our guide, Jared, was very informative and made the day relaxing and interesting. He was helpfully conversational on many topics beyond just beer, but other questions about Bend and activities we were interested in. The brewery guides at each stop were gracious to have us and loved sharing their beers, which was nice to feel welcomed around the brewery scene. I highly recommend the Brewery Bus as a fun activity if you're in Bend looking to check out the awesome brewery scene. Beyond all that, you get to try a lot of great beer!

    The Bend Brew Bus was a GREAT tour! If you are a beer lover, beer snob, home brewer, or someone…read morewho just appreciates a craft brew, this tour is for you. The guide shares about the city of Bend, Oregon while you travel between breweries and educates you on the different breweries before arriving for the on site tour. The combination of the guides knowledge and the brewers once on site truly make this tour very interesting. Other Perks: - You get to work on your Bend Ale Trail passport (if you visit all the breweries in town you get a Sili Pint) - They provide the driver for you, so no need to worry about a designated driver!! - Some of the guides are home brewers!! Great conversation and they can point you to other great things to check out in Bend The Bend Brew Bus is good for: - Bachelor Party or Bachelorette Party in Bend, Oregon - Getting great exposure to the City of Bend - A girls night or guys night out - A beer lover - Any adult over 21 who wants to have fun Loved the Bend Brew Bus tour and would do it again!

The decor was kind of cute and they had some merch. The hummus plate was good, enjoyable. Restrooms were clean. Can't say, even if I was back in the area that I would stop in again and that's unfortunate. Maybe others will enjoy it.
