OK. Well that makes it sound like a seance - but it was great. Dropped in during the week and went through the tasting list with Mike Urban. The location is just a few blocks from downtown Kelowna - a few minutes drive - well worth it for a tiny tasting fee ($2 from memory) we tried lavender infused gin... More

The tour is an absolute must. The place is a micro brew family owned distillery, and the tour was supposed to be for 20 min (but we spent an hour). The owner (the dad) brought us around and gave us a great tour of the facilities. He very patiently answered ALL of our questions. We had an enjoyable time tasting... More

After wine tasting, we went to this distillery as our last stop, & it was definitely worth it. We were given a personal tour by the proprietor Mike who showed us the custom copper still and the process he used to make the fabulous spirits. The expresso & lavender spirits were out of this world, the aromas filled every olfactory... More

If you are a rum drinker, you have to treat yourself to a bottle of Urban's amber. This unique product is in a league of its own! It has an amazing flavour with a caramel overtone and you can almost sense a hint of tequilla. Really a stand out rum! The bonus is that the distillary is in located in... More

We stopped here on our way home from a wine tasting weekend in the Okanogan. We'd heard about the distillery from a friend and having never been to a distillery before, we were excited to try it. We arrived part way through a tour that was already underway but since it was a small group, we were invited to participate.... More

A hidden gem but well worth the trip. After a tour and explanation of the distilling process, guests are invited to sample the various products straight up and they are amazing! This is a refreshing break from the wine tours and is highly recommended.

Definately a must see! Their spirits are some of best best we have tasted. The staff were friendly and very informative. The tour of their production facility was amazing. We arrived in the mid afternoon and the retail shop was fairly busy, I would recommend visiting in the morning if you can.
