Cute little spot that I discovered from other Yelpers! Even some of my local Rockford peeps had not…read moreheard of this gem. Looking at other postings, it appears that they change cocktails regularly which is fun. I tried one of their vodka cocktails and it was tasty. Cocktails are priced between $10-$14. I asked to sample their other vodka prior to purchasing a bottle to go. At time of review they had a dill pickle vodka (surprisingly tasty!, good for bloody marys) and a horseradish vodka (not a fan) Service was super friendly. They also have some non-alcoholic options. It was a little dark coming up the drive at night. I will definitely return.

The dirt road to the distillery is a bit misleading , not sure where it will lead, until you see the barn, lights, an outdoor stage and chairs. I had the There is No Crying in Baseball - Vodka, Peach Tea and Lemonade, it was so good. My husband had the classic Old Fashioned. The band New Shoes provided entertainment while we sat outside. The bartender was personable and patient, while we decided which cocktail to select. They do offer food with many of the ingredients grown on the premises. This was such a pleasant surprise and would definately return.

I like Death's Door stuff. I really do…read more Although it's easy for me to only think about GLD stuff - having an amazing distillery a stone's throw from my house? Ridiculous... - there are a few other good spirits that hail from our lovely Wisco... Death's Door being one of them. I've always found their vodka to be clean, their gin to be round and delightful, and their white whisky? Well, I can't speak to that, cause I've not had it. (I'm sort of leery of clear whisk(e)ies. Not sure why... just doesn't seem right.) At any rate, I think their gin may be my favorite. GLD gin is my absolute favorite, but Death's Door is super solid, too. Juniper, coriander, and fennel, w/out being transparent about it. It's nice and balanced and like I said, round. Approachable. Words that describe things that are good... add more of them here. Though I've not physically been, four stars for a solid product that hails from my beloved Dairyland!

Hello! Let me tell you the story of how our mother-daughter haunted tour date almost got ruined…read more My grandma bought my mom, my aunt, and me tickets for Amelia's Galena Ghost Tours at 6 p.m. There was nothing anywhere saying we needed to arrive early. We got there right at 6, parking directly behind the DeSoto house where the website said we would be meeting -- but there was no bus in sight. We started running around trying to find it, even went to their store, only to find the door locked and no one around. About 20 minutes later, my mom called to explain that we had arrived on time but no one was there. The lady on the phone said they had waited 20 minutes for us, looked for us, and then left. But if she had really been waiting, we would have seen her -- and definitely would have seen the bus! When my mom asked if we could move to the 7 p.m. tour instead, the lady said no because she "can't just give up the empty seats," and she wasn't very kind about it either. Eventually, she texted us later saying we could join the 7:30 p.m. tour for free. We decided to wait at a nearby restaurant and have a drink before the tour. We left around 7:12 to find the bus, got on, and they departed at 7:20. (10 minutes early) Our tour guide, Emily, was great -- she was super sweet and friendly. The driver (maybe the boss?) didn't seem as welcoming; she never spoke to us once and only talked during the investigation at the haunted house they own.

If I had been more proactive, I would have avoided spending time and money on this tour. My family of 6 was over $200... definitely not worth the money. After the tour, I sat down to write/read the reviews. Each negative review repeatedly said the same thing, so I decided not to repeat what has already been said. Apparently, these negative reviews have not made any difference because nothing has changed. I guess I just don't understand how a company can be satisfied knowing so many customers are dissatisfied.

Apple-Peach Liqueur: Has more of an peach scent than apple. Little bit less sweet compared to sour cherry.

The place was mostly empty except a few patrons, but it picked up as the hour went on. Service was spot on with just the right amount of attention. The drinks were a great highlight of the booze they're putting out. I will say I was underwhelmed by the Ginger old fashioned. It lacked bitters which I believe to be essential to the drink. I wish we could've stayed for food because everything looked and smelled incredible. Hopefully next time!

The $23.99 brunch really could step up the food items. I personally did not eat brunch after seeing what was offered and it just didn't look appealing. I'm from California and the brunch menus at the wineries I go to the food is top tier. But you do pay $80.00+ and up. After brunch my uncle treated us all to the tour. Our tour guide Kelly was absolutely amazing. She was very informative and answered any questions we asked. Kelly truly dies deserves the 5 star review. After our distillery tour we all sat back out at the patio area and listens to live music. We ordered some wine and I ordered their wood fire cheese pizza which was very delicious. Today was a very nice outing for the family. If I ever come back I would just order pizza or something off the menu and NOT the brunch.
