Disappointed

When we arrived at the address given the business was closed. We enquired at a restaurant next door and where told that the business closed two years ago.

Great atmosphere and friendly staff! Enjoyed the locally-sources good in the gift shop. Definitely a go-to to learn more about Wilkes County and moonshine.

Our guide, Anna, was able to give us a great behind-the-scenes view of what it's like to make moonshine. Using personal anecdotes, we left better educated about the process and the business. Bonus for the testers at the end of the tour and the cocktail suggestions!

Good tour wish there was product available.

The tour was very good and the tasting interesting. There were only two of the products available to purchase after the tour at the distillery. We were told there would be product available at the local ABC Store, but that was not the case. Thanks for having us!

Sipping Moonshine

The distillery was a delightful experience. I learned a lot about Moonshine in a fun way. The owner was knowledgeable and enthusiastic. The restaurant next store was a great find too.

It was a fun way to learn about “moonshine“. The product was fascinating, the environment meticulously clean, and the entrepreneur, a pure delight.
