The whiskey and beer they produce was very much to my liking. If you have the opportunity to make it there, give them a try.

Fabulous business in Vancouver! I signed up for a cocktail making class and our instructor Aaron…read morewas amazing! I've always wanted to do something like this but have been a bit nervous to do so but he made the class fun, funny, and so easy! You have the chance to make 3 bespoke artisan cocktails during this 3 hour class, 2 of their signatures and then the 3rd Aaron let us pick! He made it so easy and explained each step well, also how to use the tools properly along with sharing some great tips on shaking, measuring and also the importance of balance in your cocktail. I enjoyed every minute as well as consuming the cocktails after... each so delicious made with their in house liquors. If I had room I would have bought several bottles with me to take home!

Aaron came out as we were looking for Plan B and let us know the event had just ended and they were open again. (5 loud cheers on the street for sure!) I tried both the Kyoto and Wet Work, enjoying them both. They would even work as a blend of one another. My dad accidentally ordered a chocolate martini instead of an espresso martini, and Aaron made it happen. (The entire table loved it! Take that poured over some ice cream and I'd be far too content!) My brother had the gin martini, and while not a fan of gin straight up, it had a nice smooth finish that I could appreciate.

COVID #42 One of…read morethese days I'll remember to bring my ID. I do hate it when they think I'm 18. Friendly staff, automated gate if the tasting room is not open. They'll still sell to you regardless. Located at the top of a hill. Something like Mission Hills Estate Winery in Kelowna, if you've ever been there,but not as eleborate and large. Two spirits purchased. see my pics. Worth a visit. Definitely.

Each wine has its own distinct flavors and the owner is great and will tell you an interesting story behind all of them. I'm not a huge wine drinker but all of the wines I tried here made me want to be. The only downside we experienced was that we came at a time where they did not have any food. Cheese and fruit would have been a great accompaniment to the wine! I would definitely recommend coming but make sure you are coming when they have food as well!

This small distillery actually produces quite a wide variety of spirits, including gold medal…read morewinning gins. They sell at farmers markets and also do tastings in private liquor stores with a discounted purchase. My favourites are the chocolate and coffee liquers. From the gin side, they have a bunch of unique offerings, including a Japanese one, but my personal preference is for the Seacider gin. The lemon lime and rhubarb gins are perfect for mixed drinks in the summer. The actual distiller was at the liquor store tasting I happened upon and apparently they use a local chocolatier's odds and ends to extract the chocolate flavour. At the distillery itself, they also had some nifty gift packs around the holidays. Prices are not cheap, but decent for a craft spirit and the size of the bottles, which are made from hefty glass. The tasting room is pretty small and bare bones. They seem to do decent traffic, though. But would be nice if they could add a patio area or expand and have some seating. I did have an issue with the stopper on the small coffee liquer bottle being a bit leaky, so watch out for that.
