1.Farm-to-Flask Tasting Experience in Vernon

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · 45 minutes (approx.) · from $18Our pick

Visit Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery in Vernon for a 45-minute look at fermentation, mashing, distillation, and bottling equipment. Your English-speaking guide explains the process, local history, Canadian liquor rules, and craft distilling before leading a tasting of four spirits from four categories, including vodka, bourbon, gin, and Canadian Calvados.

“We had an absolutely wonderful tasting experience at the distillery. Our host/guide was a wealth of information with details of history the local area, the distillery, distilling history, Canadian culture, Canadian liquor laws & practices, and the growth of craft distilleries. The vodka was phenomenal. The bourbon was exceptional, and the color changing gin was a delightful treat! We’re not experts, but we’ve toured a lot of distilleries in Kentucky, (and one in Sweden!) and this was by far the most informative, fun, relaxed and engaging tasting/tour experience we have been on. Thank you again! Bonus points for making Canadados !(Calvados, but Canadian)”

Never in my life did I imagine I’d find myself in a cranberry pond, but there I was, laughing and loving every second of it. Our guide, Chris, was incredible, super knowledgeable and passionate. He walked us through the trails, shared fascinating facts about Muskoka and gave us the best tips to make the most out of the whole experience. 10/10, would absolutely recommend.”
