Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery - Vernon, British Columbia

Quel endroit accueillant! Ce fût un plaisir d'écouter l'histoire de cette distillerie et le processus de fabrication des différents spiritueux. La dégustation de produits était toute aussi intéressante et agréable. L'employé qui nous a reçu était très fière des produits à offrir et il les décrivaient avec enthousiasme. La qualité des produits est magnifique. Nous y retournons régulièrement, particulièrement pour les Drunken Cherries!
Un espace est aménagé pour accueillir les enfants pendant que leurs parents profitent d'un moment très agréable.

Today was a great day, in large part to our guide Lakin.
The building facility is very cool, the tour was great, as was the tasting, and the whole time we had an amazing host. Friendly, knowledgeable (and cute).
100% recommend visiting here and taking a tour. Whether you're a local, or visiting the Okanagan from elsewhere.
Support local!!!!!
I'm a huge new fan of gin.

We had a marvelous time on our Farm to Flask tasting. Our hostess was very gracious and well-informed. We learned a lot about the process of distilling fine spirits and bought four bottles to take with us. We were very impressed with how everything is sourced locally and how they have found a valuable use for "seconds" apples that are fine but aren't quite "cosmetically good enough" for store shelves. We were also impressed by how all byproducts of the process are composted or given to farmers to feed their animals. It is very impressive and the finished product is top quality.

OkanaganSpirits Craft Distillery makes two bourbon style whiskeys that are at least equal but I believe superior to anything from Tennessee or Kentucky-BRBN and Whisky Hunter: Nectar of the Gods. If you are in Vernon or Kelowna, go for a tasting. If the B.C. government would do the right thing and rightfully provide B.C. distillers with the same support as BC wineries, you would be able to find these on B.C. Liquor Store shelves while they are empty of US whiskeys. We all need to advocate for 100% BC farm to bottle products.

We had such a lovely time at Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery in Vernon. We did a tour with Andrew, who was amazing! The tour was the perfect balance of learning about the fascinating history of the distillery and tasting the whiskey. The whiskey choices were varied in flavour and the tasting did a good job of going through the different flavour profiles. The distillery is a welcoming space- I saw kid's toys and a lovely shop, so even if you yourself are not a whiskey fan, it's still a great experience!

This distillery was beautiful. The shop front looked nice and we were so glad to be able to stop by. We didn’t do any tastings because we were driving but would have loved to try some of what they had to offer someday. We got ourselves their small bottles of gin/vodka/whiskey as well as a cocktail smoker set. Can’t wait to try it out.

With only four restaurants remaining for me to try in Vernon after trying over two hundred of them, I have quietly moved onto markets and any stores with anything I can ingest.

I came to this distillery. They were busy on Saturday, but I was the only customer here on Sunday.

If my friends were here, they would have made jokes about the faces I made.

I tried two Brandies, no Monicas, and a gin without juice.

It was 3 tastings for $10 without tax. Fee is waived if you purchase something.

I tried an apple brandy, a pear brandy, essential gin, and a bonus apple gin.

The woman working here was friendly and helpful.

The facility is extremely tourist information. I learned local information I didn't know before (particularly about Fintry).

It's a very neat setup in here.

I highly recommend this spot.

We did a tour and a tasting of the distillery with Andrew, and it was fantastic. Excellent spirits and very informative. I would highly recommend coming here if you are even remotely interested in how spirits are made.
All the staff are friendly and willing to answer questions. Thanks again Andrew for a great tour and tasting.
