My friends and I decided to visit this distillery and we were all so happy we did…read more It was very welcoming and had that homey feeling where everyone knew each other. We each got a couple of drinks and we split two appetizers, and everything was very good. I opted for the Bonfire Buzz, which was one of the tastiest rum drinks I've had. It's made with spiced rum, apple cider and ginger beer, and definitely had a kick. We split the Red Eyed Goat and Finklestien's Nachos and both were really good. My other friend got the Beef on Weck sandwich with a side of mac and cheese and really enjoyed his meal. In addition to spirits and mixed drinks, they also offer beer and wine. This a cute place that gives back to the community, and is well worth a visit.

Went out here to go camping nearby and this place is a pretty solid gem within this local area…read more When they get busy parking can get a bit busy. Just note that there is extra parking behind the building. There aren't many great food / dining options within the local area but this place really is a great place in any area. The customer service is great, food is delicious, and the atmosphere is comfy. It was so nice for us that we actually came back twice during a 4 day vacation! :) Recommendation: You have to try the tomato pie dip. It's so delicious. If you're in the area, it's absolutely worth the visit. Food Taste: 5 Overall Service: 5 Value of service to cost: 5 Facility: 5 Ambiance: Small bar that's quaint and open. I enjoyed the decor within. Repeat customer: yes! Dog Friendly: I didn't ask - but maybe the patio?

I stumbled upon them one day while just hanging out on Lombardy and I've been a fan ever since. They are known for their Limoncello which can be used in an Lemon Drop or poured over gingerbread if that's your thing. They also have a few flavored vodkas, moonshine, whiskeys and gins. During my recent visit I tried the Yule Mule and it was delicious! I am a huge mule fan and this is the best one I had this holiday season. The mix of grapefruit, moonshine and ginger beer was very light and refreshing. The service is amazing. The owners and distillers are very friendly and knowledgeable. They don't mind sharing their "trials and errors" and no idea is too big or small when it comes to distilling. Outside of being a distillery, they also have wine, meat, cheese, smoked salmon and all things pasta that can be purchased onsite.

The tasting room is actually a house on a hill- with great views of the mountains and valley. There is indoor and outdoor seating available- but honestly weather permitting- the outside is the place to be! They have a nice selection of bourbon from which they offer flights. They also have some craft cocktails. We tried the bourbon margarita- what a unique combination and it was very good. The staff were pleasant and knowledgeable. We enjoyed our margaritas and a shared flight outside on Adirondack chairs enjoying the views. Our take home purchase was a bottle of their bottled in bond bourbon which has a very flavorful profile with hints of caramel.

The owner was there and graciously allowed us to take photos with him, he was so friendly and welcoming too. Then we finished our tasting (3oz maximum per person per ABC), taking our cocktails out on the porch where we drank them in rocking chairs enjoying the beautiful day. One of the workers was so sweet and brought us a table and some cups of water as well. Just a really welcoming place with some history. When you're in Culpeper make sure you make this a stop.

Their Whiskey is made in Copper Pots, and the place put together from an old Church I believe. They were on the show, Moonshiners. Fun little deal detail!

The staff here is very friendly, and the vibe is low-key. I know I'll probably come back through again when I'm in town to see what new flavors are up for grabs.

The staff was very nice and accommodating. We had a larger party of 9. We were instantly greeted and given water without asking. We tried different flights. All of their liquor and mixed drinks had different flavors in it which I wasn't used to. For example some may have vanilla, pineapple, etc. When I have gone to distilleries typically you only get flavor from the barrels not like infusions. So I wasn't used to that. The customer service was great though and D was extremely patient with the party that I was with.
