Your journey will start right at the doorsteps of your hotel or Airbnb, where our friendly and knowledgeable tour guide will pick you up in a luxury vehicle. First, we will take you to meet a Distillery proprietor whose family has run his business since 1915. He will introduce you to some hard liquor (vodka, gin, rum) on his family’s menu. Then, in a short drive, you will meet a second Distillery owner who will give you a behind-the-scenes tour of his facility, where you will taste his line of spirits representing the area’s agricultural roots.
Next, the tour guide will lead you along parts of an original stagecoach trail to Cold Spring Tavern, which has been there since 1865. The buildings are original from that time and are a hidden treasure only locals know about! Only four survived, offering a bar, a restaurant, an antique store, and one of the old bunkhouses from the 19th century. If you’d like, you can enjoy a delicious Tri-tip sandwich that originated in this area.

What a fun tour! We were picked up in a luxury sedan from our hotel and then introduced to some of the best Distilleries in the area. I am not a wine person, so the tour choice was obvious for us. Our guide/driver Josh was great, he kept us organized and on time to each of the tastings without feeling like we were running in and out of each place. The drinks were exceptional and the food was super yummy. We also learned some history along the way.

We had a blast! Our guide Martin was well organized and energetic. And gratefully he provided lots of cold water during a very hot day! The car was spotless, and Martin drove it very safely. We tried some of the best hard liquor drinks in my life, did behind the scenes tour of one of the places and ate very delicious sandwiches. Thank you for this wonderful experience!

The distilleries were beautiful and the food and drink throughout the day, superb. Our guide Trish was very knowledgeable but also just great fun. Our tour felt really personalized and exceeded our expectations. We’ll be back for some more fun tours.
