Absolutely hands down the best tasting we have had in Kelowna. Knowledgeable, friendly and entertaining staff and the sprits were excellent. The pickled vodka along with the Premium Caesar mix - WOW! This will be a regular stop for now on. Next time we will check out the lounge for some amazing food.

Living in the Okanagan valley we have friends frequently visiting and we share the tasting experience of the valley with them. We recently discovered Urban Distilleries and took visitors to share our first distillery experience with them. WOW! What a fantastic afternoon! Our host Dan led us through an exceptional tasting experience. We sipped, laughed and yes bought some take home bottles because it is so good!!! A place you have to visit! The Honey Mead 😋 okay everything is 😋

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.

Although it is close to the downtown area, this distillery is a little off the beaten path but so worthwhile to visit! Our tour guide, Rory, was very passionate about his role in the distillery process and explained each step thoroughly. We even got to bottle some gin which was great. The tasting was a treat - I especially liked it when Rory gave us a little mix to try with the alcohol. Awesome experience for a minimal fee!

We did some liquid sampling around Kelowna between Christmas and New Year in Kelowna. The distillery was our last stop before traveling towards the South.
The distillery was an excellent choice: We were the only customers and we had a long chat about spirits. The guy was very knowledgeable and explained us in details the process to make decent spirits.
We decided to go for a six spirit sampling for 5 CAD and it was worth it. Particularly, wee recommend to try the gins and the Dill vodka! Maybe I'll come back one day to try one of their Master classes. We highly recommend to go for some spirit tasting after, the beer, cider and wine sampling around Kelowna.
Many thanks for hosting us!

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.

While looking for places near downtown to visit because it was snowing, we came across this place. So glad we found it. Because of snow we were the only ones there on a Saturday morning. Steve helped us with a tasting, answering questions, gave us a tour, and even made some suggestions on other great places to try.
I can not recommend this place enough. The service is impeccable, the liqueurs are excellent, and deer Lord their bourbon is heaven. Check it out. You won't be disappointed.
