We did the tour and tasting last Saturday, on the hottest day of the year. It was a great tour,…read morewith good information and was given by the person who is developing new flavors. The one caution is that there is NO air conditioning, so on a day as hot as it was, the fans were not enough to keep up from sweating a lot. Fortunately, they moved the crowd to the sales room for the tasting. Even so, with about 20 people in the group the light AC was hard pressed to make it truly comfortable. I was impressed that they offered samples of almost everything they make in house. Our favorite was the chocolate vodka. The whiskey is mild in comparison to some others, which is fine by me. I liked the maple flavoured moonshine, too! I will be introducing others to this spot!

We walked in and were greeted and seated an an awesome table. The service was excellent and our server/waitress was knowledgeable and super accommodating. I was the DD so when I said I wasn't having a drink she offered to have them make me mocktail which I thought was really nice. We sampled the vodka and gin they are making (whiskey and rye are in the works but take longer obvi to great). The gin was really nice - dry and not too floral or citrus (I'm of the opinion that most vodka tastes the same, although it was smooth). We didn't have any of the snacks or food but looked good. I would definitely come back for a tour and for drinks another night!

When I ordered them, I asked for no pineapple. The girl taking my order looked at me like I was insane and looked at the menu in disbelief. She checked if it was a listed ingredient, which it is. She said every time she has ordered them there is no pineapple. This should have been my sign that they do not have systems in place in the kitchen and likely run out of inventory items often. My tacos came. Zero cilantro, zero lime crema. I went up to the bar and asked the sullen bartender for some cilantro. She just walked away and went to the kitchen as if I called her ugly. She came back with three slivers of cilantro in a cup and said with an expressionless face "this is what the kitchen had." Not I'm sorry we are out, or even a smile or a joke. Just an F you attitude and an offensive gesture in a cup. See photo! So without the crema it lacked fat and acid. Fortunately the carnitas had fat, but it was not rendered and quite gristly. The corn tacos were at least 5 days old. Chewy and tough. They could have at least steamed them in a microwave but zero effort in this kitchen. Also their Rum is stored in whiskey barrels so it tastes like whiskey. So if you order a rum daiquiri be prepared for fruit and whiskey. It's vile! Who does that to a Rum?! Service: 1/5 See above.

Willibald Farm Distillery & Brewery is a great spot for a "get together and hangout for hours" sort…read moreof place. Their location is out on a working farm and distillery so it is out of the way via a country road. Their restaurant is great with indoor and outdoor patio seating. Would recommend indoor due to flies and weather. Their drinks are very good and their food surprisingly excellent for a place that's mainly a distillery. We were here as a group of 6 and ordered a bit of everything. Our order: - Caesar Salad (decently sized, everyone got some) - Mushroom Pappardelle (excellent sauce and very silky, every pasta noodle had loads of sauce, the best part of the meal) - Bee Sting (great pizza, comparable with places that just focus on pizza) - Cheese Monger (all the cheese pizza) - Truffle Funghi (not too strong of truffle, just enough and it all came together nicely) - Ontario Burratini (a great bread + dip with peaches, second best part of the meal) Drinks: - Gin Mule (basically a Moscow mule but with Gin) - Spritz (cherry) The service was amazing, food started coming out around 10 mins after ordering. Ordering did take a while as they were quite busy. The attached store sold their brand of drinks, some of which you only could get there. Lots of customers came and went with cases of drinks. We got some gin to bring home as well. They have a drinks stall at St. Jacob's if you are in the area (no restaurant though). For a distillery, not only do they have great drinks, but all their food seems well thought out and a great choice all on its own. The only con is that they are pretty out of the way, but worth the day trip. They have ample parking and you can hangout on the lawn for as long as you like. They have an outdoor bar as well as corn hole and tables for you to hangout at. Board games and picnic blankets encouraged.

I had a wonderful time and I'm looking forward to coming back for the amazing food and beautiful farm!
