Specialties
The Crafty Cask is a place for craft beer, wine and spirit enthusiasts to learn, discover and enjoy their passion. A place that's dedicated to telling the stories behind the craft, the history, up and coming innovations, lesser known drinks and, of course, the incredible people and places behind it all. And we do it with a little bit of sass and a whole lot of fun.
Plan a trip with us to immerse in exclusive experiences with craft alcohol artisans, experts and luminaries and leave recharged, with a true taste of place and new favorite producers after every one of our excursions.
By removing the hassle of planning and curating off-the-beaten path high quality experiences, we help our guests focus on exploring new regions through craft alcohol (and food and culture too, of course!) to create lifelong memories.
We envision a future where the craft alcohol artisans are more broadly appreciated, understood and sought out by consumers as they travel the world allowing them to experience a truly immersive taste of place. This newfound appreciation will provide the support needed so that the true spirit of artisan alcohol production is preserved, transparent and sustainably profitable for the craft producers.
Join us on this journey and learn all about the art of the drink...
History
Established in 2015.
The Crafty Cask is the life-long dream of our founder, Suzanne. Combine Italian heritage, a French grandmother who baked croissants like no one else, a childhood habit of mixing spices rather than playing with dolls and jobs that just kept bringing her back to the world of beer, wine and spirits.
Understanding the grape to glass, grain to glass and farm to table journeys. Feeling the moist earth slipping through your fingertips, the sticky juice of ripe grapes on the crush pad. Kneading with the baker who plays his doughy magic day after day, the whisky or winemaker balancing art and science patiently enough to taste his success years later. Laughing with strangers who become friends and sometimes family. These are the experiences Suzanne longs to live and share with you.

Suzanne is a researcher and storyteller by trade and a world explorer and eat/drink local enthusiast by heart. Kicking off her career in Napa was one of the most fulfilling and rewarding times of her life and kept her longing to share her love for to the artisan alcohol community with all of you. She's traveling the world to celebrate and share the people, the process, the stories and innovations of craft alcohol with a little bit of sass and a whole lot of fun.
