If you love mountain views, a good history lesson, and a delicious bevy, let Mayberry Spirits be…read moreyour first stop along your Pilot Mountain tour. Their cocktails were abundant and there was a wide variety for every palate. You can get a cocktail to sip on throughout the tour as well as some popcorn to munch on. Kate was SUPERB at explaining the history of Mayberry Spirits as well as the distilling process at their facility. She also does the ghost tours in Mt Airy and we can't wait to go back and have her show us around downtown! The actual tasting after the tour was the most bang for your buck. We got to taste all all of their whiskeys that they make in house and then we got to play around and mix them with an assortment of bitters and juices. We got to taste an assortment of six for only $12! Lastly their gift shop is the cutest if you need a birthday/Christmas gift. We want to visit again just to bring home one of their cocktail kits. We are so glad we made Mayberry Spirits the first stop during our Mt Airy day to get the party started. A cheap and awesome way to spend the day!

We had the BEST time at Mayberry Spirits. This is probably the best distillery tour I've ever done…read more Our tour guide, Kate, was everything you'd want in a guide! She was extremely knowledgeable, personable, tons of personality and completely informative. I loved how they have a board showing the boiling points of the components in their spirits and they had tons of visuals (the sorghum they use in their whisky, two jars of different proof whisky that demonstrated the difference in appearance when shaken, pieces of the barrel components) it was very interactive, informative and fun! We were there a little early, so we got cocktails (which come with popcorn!) I love that they do have the cocktail option, because many distilleries offer only the spirits stand-alone (I can't hang) and I enjoyed the Dutch Apple Pie I ordered. I appreciated they even went a step further with super nice presentation of the drinks! You can take your cocktails into the distillery room and sip while you enjoy the tour. After the tour, we went back to the main area for a tasting! This was a treat. They have ample areas for the 4 groups doing the tour to taste. Our group of 5 gathered round the barrel to embark on the tasting. It has cute little Mayberry Spirits shot glasses already placed for us, along with a dump bucket & water. First, we tasted the 3 spirits stand-alone. I don't really like straight alcohol, but I enjoyed the vanilla whisky. After those, it's not over! We got to try several cocktail shooters. Some with Cheerwine, some with bitters (they had tons of flavors, everyone got to pick their flavor and add their own!) I really enjoyed the concoctions they presented! They had so many great gifts for purchase as well! They offer cocktail kits that include their spirits and all the necessary mixers! We all agreed we want to come back to get Christmas gifts! I was completely shocked at the value of what we got at Mayberry Spirits! The cocktails were $10 across the board - super reasonable, especially considering the quality/presentation. The tour and tasting was $12 total! I couldn't believe it. I wouldn't have been surprised if it was $20 considering the great 20-30 minute tour we got and the generous tasting, PLUS the souvenir shot glass! This was such a fun experience and a great place to go with a group!

Came out on a sunny Sat afternoon and it was perfect! They have a fantastic patio, which on a warm Autumn afternoon is bliss! Loved all the plants in the entry way and definitely enjoyed sitting the bar, as the decor/ambiance inside is whimsy meets rustic. The beertender was so nice and attentive; let me sample to make my choices for my flt (and even offered some great suggestions for me and my friends). Every beer had was true to style and fantastic! Also, being the geo-history nerd that I am, really appreciated the name considering they are located in Sparta, NC! Highly recommend a stop and/or detour!

If you love sweeter wines, don't miss their fruit-infused wines made with a Riesling base. The peach and blackberry were light, refreshing, and perfect for a hot August day.

Red seedless grapes were few to pick from that weren't smashed. Kind of disappointing because this is the 2nd store I've been to and the first to have poor looking produce. Red Meats were bright and colorful. Pork rib selection was very limited -only carried St. Louis and we're very expensive ($25) for one slab. A large variety of seafood selections. Customer service was beyond reproach! I went through the self checkout and the young lady assisting was so kind and helped me numerous times navigating through the menus. The menu for checking out produce is not the easiest and can be a little cumbersome. I was able to use my own bags as some stores will not allow it.
