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!

So, I give a pass to places that are trying but come up short. This joint is downright disrespectful to folks serving food no one would like--I mean, Taco Bell is like a million times better because the serve food that is intended to taste good. I highly encourage people to steer clear of this cynical excuse for a "restaurant." And if you want to see live music in the winter and get there early to get a seat, know that gaggles of rude people will pour in and stand right in front of you with no human decency whatsoever, like it's a free- for-all general admission concert rather than a small tasting room, and management turns a blind eye.

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!
