Great little tasting room just off the downtown area in Healdsburg! We were greeted by Alec, who…read morehosted us--and he was fantastic. He walked us through the different whiskeys, gin, bourbon, bitters, and brandy they make there, and even gave us a tour of the fermentation process. We visited for my dad's birthday, and they had a "Happy Birthday" sign set up, which made the whole experience feel extra special. The pours were generous and the price was super reasonable. It made for a really memorable birthday. We'll definitely be back!

They've got everything I love about small-scale craft places: passionate people, great spirits, and no pretentiousness. They're also not afraid to recommend and promote the wineries and tasting rooms around them. Got some nice recommendations from Jason. If you're staying at Dry Creek Inn and like all things whiskey, gin, and brandy, you gotta pop in.

Spirit Works Distillery is a nice distillery located in The Barlow. It's a little tucked away but…read moreworth a visit. They have bar seating as well as some lounge areas and tables. Directly behind the bar you can see where the process happens from milling, mashing, fermenting, distilling, and bottling. Spirit Works hand crafts Gin, Vodka, Sloe Gin and Whiskey all on site.  They offer a flight tasting or two tastes with a cocktail option. If you go for the cocktail option, please note CA law only always allows a distillery to serve 1.5oz of alcohol per person so there are no other tastes or cocktails available. Someone in my group was excited about the Sloe Gin but wasn't able to try it after ordering the two tastes and cocktail. Just means they have to come back for a visit again the future. The cost is a little over $20 for the two tastes with a cocktail. I had the Vital Springs cocktail with Vodka, basil, mint, lime, ginger and Thai spiced bitters. The cocktail was really good and refreshing.  They also have cocktail kits available and for purchase that includes the alcohol, simple syrup, bitters and mixers.  This is a great spot in The Barlow!

We got the 2-taste with 1-cocktail option, and apparently the CA law is that a distillery can't serve more than 1.5oz of alcohol per person, so it's just a couple of sips and a half-sized drink. For 2 people it came to about $50. **Don't forget to check in on Yelp when you arrive to save 50%! I knew of this offer and I forgot so we paid full price.** The bartender was fun, and the drinks were tasty. Definitely try the Sloe Gin! So unique and flavorful, it was the best drink I had all day. Another cool thing is that you can buy cocktail kits that include alcohol, simple syrup, bitters, and mixers for about $70 -$100 depending on the liquor you choose. Would return.

As luck would have…read moreit, every time I was home for a visit, things would get in the way and I wouldn't be able to make it to the distillery. This time however, I was determined to not let this experience slip through my fingers. ITS IN MY OLD BACKYARD, for goodness sake! I bought a 2 for 1 tour and tasting on groupon, and took my dad as a fathers day gift since I'd be missing it with him in person. We had a very entertaining, informative, and delicious smelling tour, and then we went to the tasting room to get our hands on the goods. OH MAN is their stuff GOOD. We started with the Rye and moved onto the good stuff. I fell head over heels with the #2, and then we found the Cask Strength #2 and the love I felt was even stronger. As if it couldn't get better, there was a Truffle one that blew our minds. I was so impressed with the education on how to drink Whiskey and Bourbon, and left feeling amazing that this product came from my hometown! If I lived in the continental US, I would totally join the barrel club because this stuff is amazing. The owner was there when we did the tour and he was super cool. The Distillery is growing so fast with the desire for their product that they have moved on from the size they have to a specially designed for the new place they're moving to later this year. I'm super excited to see how they do with their new space and I guarantee that they are going to be successful because they really know what they are doing with their beautiful barreled goodness.

We did two flights, one of Rum and the other of whiskey tastings and one gin and tonic drink. Both flights were delicious, great notes on each, and a light palate.
