Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery

Today was a great day, in large part to our guide Lakin. The building facility is very cool, the tour was great, as was the tasting, and the whole time we had an amazing host. Friendly, knowledgeable (and cute). 100% recommend visiting here and taking a tour. Whether you're a local, or visiting the Okanagan from elsewhere. Support local!!!!! I'm a huge new fan of gin.

We had a marvelous time on our Farm to Flask tasting. Our hostess was very gracious and well-informed. We learned a lot about the process of distilling fine spirits and bought four bottles to take with us. We were very impressed with how everything is sourced locally and how they have found a valuable use for "seconds" apples that are fine but aren't quite "cosmetically good enough" for store shelves. We were also impressed by how all byproducts of the process are composted or given to farmers to feed their animals. It is very impressive and the finished product is top quality.

OkanaganSpirits Craft Distillery makes two bourbon style whiskeys that are at least equal but I believe superior to anything from Tennessee or Kentucky-BRBN and Whisky Hunter: Nectar of the Gods. If you are in Vernon or Kelowna, go for a tasting. If the B.C. government would do the right thing and rightfully provide B.C. distillers with the same support as BC wineries, you would be able to find these on B.C. Liquor Store shelves while they are empty of US whiskeys. We all need to advocate for 100% BC farm to bottle products.

We had such a lovely time at Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery in Vernon. We did a tour with Andrew, who was amazing! The tour was the perfect balance of learning about the fascinating history of the distillery and tasting the whiskey. The whiskey choices were varied in flavour and the tasting did a good job of going through the different flavour profiles. The distillery is a welcoming space- I saw kid's toys and a lovely shop, so even if you yourself are not a whiskey fan, it's still a great experience!

This distillery was beautiful. The shop front looked nice and we were so glad to be able to stop by. We didn’t do any tastings because we were driving but would have loved to try some of what they had to offer someday. We got ourselves their small bottles of gin/vodka/whiskey as well as a cocktail smoker set. Can’t wait to try it out.

With only four restaurants remaining for me to try in Vernon after trying over two hundred of them, I have quietly moved onto markets and any stores with anything I can ingest. I came to this distillery. They were busy on Saturday, but I was the only customer here on Sunday. If my friends were here, they would have made jokes about the faces I made. I tried two Brandies, no Monicas, and a gin without juice. It was 3 tastings for $10 without tax. Fee is waived if you purchase something. I tried an apple brandy, a pear brandy, essential gin, and a bonus apple gin. The woman working here was friendly and helpful. The facility is extremely tourist information. I learned local information I didn't know before (particularly about Fintry). It's a very neat setup in here. I highly recommend this spot.

We did a tour and a tasting of the distillery with Andrew, and it was fantastic. Excellent spirits and very informative. I would highly recommend coming here if you are even remotely interested in how spirits are made. All the staff are friendly and willing to answer questions. Thanks again Andrew for a great tour and tasting.

We had an amazing experience there, we spent the afternoon listening to stories about the distillery and process of crafting spirits. Really interring and learned a lot. It was a wonderful afternoon at the Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery and their products are delicious. Thank you again for your warm welcoming.

I dropped a few dollars here. The service was excellent. The knowledgeable girl allowed us to try many varieties of whisky. The sales floor is very nicely decorated. Didn't feel rushed out despite others waiting. Their Kelowna outlet couldn't let us taste whiskey during last year's visit, so this year came to Vernon to try the whiskey. I wouldn't come back but would just order on line, now that I have been here once and know all about the varieties that was explained to me. Good distillery.

A must visit in Vernon! It doesn't get more local than this - its actually one of the original distillers in the region if I remember correctly. I always take friends and family here when they visit from out of town. Comfortable tasting room and knowledgable staff. Thank you!

Lots of variety of hard liquor (especially whiskey), as well as fruit/berry liquor (raspberry, blueberry, huckleberry etc). Well worth the stop.

An amazing place the alcohol there is very smooth and everything is either local or in Provence for ingredients. You can even book a head and get a tour of the place. Definitely coming back.
