Get out of your every day, mundane routine of the same 'ol same 'ol breweries and distilleries and…read moretake a scenic ride to Marathon to this quiet, quaint and cool distillery... Dragonfyre. You will be happy you made the trip. Sure it's off the beaten path but isn't that what life is all about? Find a beaten path then make the best of its experiences. When you arrive you will be greeted and treated by the proprietor. A genuine, hard-working distiller who loves his craft. See his passion come to life in this distillers whiskeys. My suggestion would be to do what we did and get yourself a flight of the various options and decide for yourself which one is right. There's Apple-based whiskeys, whiskey's distilled in maple barrels, to 110+ proof heavy duty stuff, there's a nice selection for all. Oh, and don't forget to try the slushy's. Don't bother with the sampler, dive right into the largest one they offer. You probably won't be the one driving back at that point. These are outstanding! Inside the gift shop you'll be astounded by the array of dragon themed trinkets and gifts. Even the restroom holds its own uniqueness. You can sit inside or outside, either way you will be glad you took the trip.

So cool and worth the drive. Much has changed with the process and the number of offerings since my…read morelast visit 2-1/2 years ago. During COVID owner Vince did a virtual event, but the experience here cannot be enjoyed quite the same unless in person. From 5 to 10 or so, all are very good with my favorites falling in both old and new. Such a fun and interesting place , the same to be said of the Owner and his whiskeys. I cannot say enough we were there for almost 2 hours and even picked up a few Christmas gifts. always an adventure and fun!

Nice distillery located just outside downtown Cazenovia. There is a ton of outdoor seating, outdoor…read morestage and some outdoor games like cornhole with fire pits. Inside there is a small bar with some seating. they do have several food options on their menu. The brie cup appetizer is pretty good. The Buffalo chicken wing appetizer is ok but we got it. It came with mostly small broken chips and it was hard to dip into. We've gotten other things here before like tacos have been good. They have drinks flights that are creative and tasty. They also have live music inside and trivia on Monday nights. They also have an upstairs space for events.

On one of the first warm spring days, we visited with our daughter and her work friend. We were…read moreable to sit in a distanced group of Adirondack chairs around an incredible fire kettle (that wasn't lit -- daytime and warm enough). When we arrived back at our daughter's home, our son-in-law asked how it was. Her response was, "It was great." That sums it up well. There's a variety of mixed drinks using their on-premises gin and vodka as well as a small assortment of local wine. A sign says that you must order food to purchase drinks. Fine with us. The food choices at this time are snacky: chips and guac, brie bites, chips and salsa, nachos, etc. Everything but the brie in pastry cups was gluten free. The building is very nice and the family owners are as friendly as can be. I also visited a couple days ago and bought a bottle of gin. It's different from my normal preference but since they offer a small taste, it's easy to tell if you'll like it before purchasing. Finally, I like that they bring a chip/contactless credit card machine to you. It's similar to units that are common in Europe. I like that so much better than handing over my card. Receipts can be printed or emailed. It's very slick tech and very secure. I like supporting small, local, family operated businesses and this is a good one. It would have been 5 stars with a more extensive menu.
