About this event
Join an engaging, interactive 30-minute tour that takes you behind the scenes of a craft distillery. Knowledgeable tour leaders walk you through the science and art of clear versus aged spirits, the distillation process, barrel aging and expert blending. Hear the stories behind each bottle and taste the results with a included cocktail, all while discovering the craftsmanship that goes into every batch.
What to expect
The tour lasts 30 minutes and is led by knowledgeable staff who talk as they walk you through the production floor. You hear the stories behind each bottle, then taste the results in a cocktail. Groups stay small, which keeps the talk conversational and lets you see the process up close.
Why go
Northern Waters builds its spirits from Northwoods water, Wisconsin-grown grains, and regional fruit and botanicals, so the tour is as much about local ingredients as it is about process. It is a quick, low-commitment way to learn how a craft distillery works. The distillery sits on a lakeside property, and its tasting room is open all year.
