Our tour guide/owner Candice was so knowledgeable, personable, and entertaining that the time flew… You can tell that she has researched and fact-checked… All in all, it was the BEST experience that has stayed with me and changed the way I look at our city!

Try Some of Michigan's Award-Winning Spirits
With Michigan being the first state in the US to end Prohibition in 1933, our affinity with distilling is not a new thing! Today, West Michigan is among the top 5 areas in the country for local distilleries. Even better, the community spirit here means lots of barrels are shared amongst local breweries and wineries to create tastings unlike any other.
