We did the extra tasting of the Old Cavalier (highly recommend!) and couldn't leave without the Hye Rye, the Old Cavalier, and that incredible Bourbon Cream. Love seeing the dedication that goes into hand-bottling every single bottle. These will be staying well-stocked in my bar from now on! We'll be back for sure. Here's to the Cavalier Distillery!

I would recommend this tasting to anyone in the Virginia Beach area, and I would recommend the additional pour of the Old Cavalier. My only critique would be that we seemed pressed for time and a bit rushed. Maybe allow a little more time for the tour/tasting so the customers have more time to savor.

They have exterior seating but the day we went it was a bit too cold for that. Now let's talk about the liquor. This should be the star of the show. The issue is two fold. The bourbons, there main spirit, is not refined enough to support the hefty per bottle price tag. Stick with the cocktail flight. All the cocktails were excellent and well made.

I have visited Chesapeake Bay Distillery located in Virginia Beach, Va twice now. Each time I have…read morevisited I have had a pleasant experience. They are only open Friday 4-7, then Saturday and Sunday from noon to 7. So be mindful of that before driving all the way down to the beach. I wish they were open during the weekday, would be nice little after work hangout spot to catch a flight or two. The flights are $8 each and you get to choose 4 options. You can't beat that. I usually get two flights making my total $16 and I leave with a nice buzz. The customer service is really good. Our bartender carried on a conversation with us and kept us entertained. She's engaged and I'd like to wish her a happy wedding day. Over all I will continue to visit this spot, when open b/c I love how low key it is. Please note major construction going on currently around the distillery so may have to take a detour to get to them.

I arrived around 6:30pm in hopes I could still order a flight, since they close at 7pm. Thankfully, they weren't in a rush to close at all. In fact, almost 10 people came in after me. The lady working there was pretty nice and personable and the place was very clean. The flight includes 9 different flavors and you are able to choose 4 flavors for the tasting. My friend and I ordered our flights and enjoyed our tastings. Some we enjoyed more than others but it was still a good time and the drinks were very strong. My favorite was the Watermelon Ghost Margarita, which was made with fresh, watermelon juice and tequila with smoked ghost pepper. While at the Distillery, you can purchase bottles to take home or simply order a cocktail to enjoy. If you're near the Oceanfront, grab some friends and definitely stop in.

We were given over the top service at both the tasting and the bar. We ordered The Lindsey that was made with their Caramel Green Apple Whiskey and Cinnamon Vodka as well as RumChata, caramel and cinnamon. It had great flavor and was not too sweet. We came here because they are affiliated with Harvest Host and we reserved to stay overnight in our RV. We were treated so nicely. We will definitely return in our future travels through this area.

Weldon Mills is veteran owned and operated and they offer a military discount. Highly recommend!

I saw the event advertised on social media and knew I had to check it out. It's gourmet specialty hot dogs paired with a wide selection of martinis, from classics like lemon drops and cosmos to more unique options like the pickletinis and caprese tinis. I went with a couple of friends around 5:45 and it was packed, but luckily people were leaving as we arrived so we were able to grab a spot. It was a little too chilly to sit outside, but they do have additional seating and I'd definitely sit out there when it's warmer. The food was great. I got the kimchi hot dog and loved it. The brioche bun really stood out, and the chili truffle oil fries were amazing. Everything comes out on a cute little tray, which was a nice touch. For my drink, I tried the pickletini. It was good, but definitely strong, especially if you're new to martinis. One friend got the caprese-tini, which was surprisingly good and came with a caprese skewer, so you get a little snack with it. My other friend got a dirty martini, which she enjoyed, and even as someone who isn't big on olives, I thought it was pretty good. Overall, we all had a great time and will definitely be back to try more of the menu!
