We had the best time with Marin teaching us how to make Nevada cocktails! They, of course, included Picon Punch, Rat pack Manhattan and fancy cherry cordial (can't remember the name). All were fantastic. As well, she taught us the art of making the twists and garnishes and the important glass styles. Highly recommend doing this event! Truly one of the best times we've ever had! Important note: if you enjoy Picon Punch, this is where you can purchase Amer Picon - once made by Torani, now made by Ferino Distillery! read more

Nice offerings of Italian Spirits. Good for a gathering, bring in some appetizers and a group of friends, great tasting cocktails, and few beer offerings in a can. The service is great and the flight comes with great details of the ingredients, taste, and flavors. The caffe note, no caffeine and great taste, good for an espresso martini. read more

So nice to see their tasting room open again. Stopped in to pick up some holiday gifts and stayed for a couple of delicious and unusual cocktails. We made friends with EVERYONE at the bar - because anyone who is that involved in excellent cocktail creations are also really cool people - RIGHT!?!! The service was amazing. You can ask 50 questions and they would happily answer them all. Delightful add'n to the 4th street character! read more

What a way to celebrate a milestone, with Ferino marking their fifth year in brining bright bitters and capital cordials to Reno. Their signature spirits, ranging from their Amaro, to the Fernet, the Canella, and others, have always been outstanding. And their cocktail selection is superb, with tons of tasty libations to choose from. And now we have even more to love about this spot, as a true Nevada icon is being made by the folks here. The big shindig over this past weekend was not only to mark their anniversary, but was also meant to celebrate Ferino acquiring the rights to produce Amer Picon, main ingredient in the Picon Punch, our much beloved (or reviled, depending on who you ask) state cocktail. This is some seriously cool news, as now this distinctive drink gets to be made in our own backyards, making it a bit of a point of pride for folks here in Nevada. And trying one out, it was amazing, hitting that sweet spot, and feels right at home on the menu. Definitely looking forward to having more of them in future, and to seeing their label pop up at other bars and restaurants where the Picons are served. If that isn't enough to drag you down here, then there is certainly loads else worth scoping out. You can stop by to try a tasting flight, or schedule a tour of their production facility. Keep your eyes peeled for their rotating seasonal cocktail specials, or try and attend a talk about gin making. Or just come down, hang out, and enjoy the ambiance. This is just such a cool spot, great use of an old building, and really makes it a place you can sit back and enjoy a round or two. Plus, the service here has always been top notch and very friendly, making any customer feel right at home. All in all, Ferino is for sure one of my top recommendations for places to drink here in Reno. It's a very unique spot that will for sure broaden your pallet and make you thirsty for more. Looking forward to coming back soon. Cheers, all! read more

Ferino started as a distillery and has morphed into a full bar experience with tasty craft cocktails using their own spirits. The drink menu rotates to showcase the seasonal flavors. They also offer distillery tours and tasting experiences, cocktail classes, and a Gin school. The team behind the bar have expert knowledge of the products and are always happy to tell you everything you want to know if you're looking to geek out and learn more in depth details. The decor is definitely eclectic. The main bar features a full wall mural with an old world feel to it. Then there are lots of shelves with intriguing bottles and jars that make you feel like you are in a fun cocktail laboratory. They also have a club called The Feral Hearts Society, which I am a member of. You get perks like $5 drinks, monthly drawings for free stuff, and 20% off products and 20% off drinks for people in your party. read more

We went to Ferino Distillery for a small birthday gathering. The ambiance was "chill." I loved the mural over the bar. Our host, Daniel, was phenomenal. We sampled great Italian spirits. My favorite was the Cannella cinnamon cordial. This family-owned and operated distillery is proudly located in the heart of Reno's Brewery District. Daniel showed us innovative spirits with ancient Italian origins. The experience is one we will not be forgetting. Thank you so much, Daniel! We had a great time. read more

Joe, the proprietor, was our host for the tasting and tour. Fun, compact distillery in Reno's "Brewery District" (sketch part of town, but on the upswing), Joe shared his Italian roots and passion for making the spirits that put this place on the map. Fun fact: Ferino is now the producer of the Amaro found in the potent Picon Punch. We stocked up on our favorites...the cinnamon cordial and Correto coffee liqueur. Yum! Fun time had by the 6 of us and will certainly be back. read more

This locally owned distillery makes several liqueurs and cordials for your enjoyment. During Tour de Brews one of the owners was bartending so we asked lots of questions. It is definitely work of passion. From the Cannella Cinnamon Cordial to the Caffe Notte coffee liqueur the creativity shows through. We were able to try several magical concoctions she made and leave with a bottle of Caffe Notte. It's a full bar so sit down and have a classic cocktail made for you or taste the locally made liqueurs. The space is large with a beautiful mural behind the bar. A perfect place for a bachelorette party I'm told. They also offer tours and classes. read more

What a great Birthday present. Thank you Donna Bates. What a fantastic afternoon at this absolutely great distillery Started with a tasting of 6 different gins with a description of the ingredients for each, so I can decide what I wanted in my gin (my gift was a gin making class). I choose my ingredients to equal 30 grams See pics for more details. Then while it was distilling, we were able to join a tour that Joe had scheduled. Great tour. Included tasting of 4 different liquers, followed by a tour of the distillery room Joe who's the owner was also a great presenter and teacher. Highly recommend you stop by and taste his unique cocktails. Once a month he has a comedian for entertainment. Sorry no food served at this venue. Just unique drinks Can't wait to come back and try a cocktail. Which, by the way change frequently read more

Unlike any distillery tour we have ever taken as the tastings are not the normal but still fun and amazing! The place has a "hole in the wall" bar look to it when you first go in, but upon closer inspection there is a huge wall of beautiful and unusual alcohol's and aperitifs. Our tour was given by the owner and it was interesting how he told the story of how this business came to be and how with a lot of work and even more "try, try again" spirit he was able to make his dream come true. Tour or just stopping by for a cocktail is highly recommended. read more

Pro's: Nice long bar, spacious gathering area. Con's: Not sure. Go back?: Maybe More... We were here on a night where there was a bartender's competition, along the lines of Iron Chef, where barkeeps competed against each other using one same ingredient - Underburg. I had never heard of it and had fun learning about it - typically known as a digestiv so after-dinner. The local distributor is working to expose this unique flavor to the masses. The competition was fun to watch - because my friend was in it! As for the bar itself, it could be a great place to hangout. There was a spot for live entertainment in the back and, with that, it would be on the map as a fun destination. But one message to the staff...someone, please water the plants! read more

Another year, another good reason for Nog! I had stopped by Joe's table at the NV Diabetes Foundation's Winter Wonderland event, so over the fields and thru the woods to Ferino I went! This year, Jingle Balls Nog was on my list to gift, and they were able to make a couple bottles appear out of Santa's sack LOL. Before this review takes a turn to the naughty list, let me turn it around! This is the hap, hap, happiest bar you'll ever see! It's festive AF. Check this place out! They're part of the Miracle pop-up, so take a look at the limited edition gifts & glassware, too! It only took a day for my special order to be ready for pick up, and they decked the bottle out with wee Santa hats too. The only bummer here is look at how off the labels are! For $30 a bottle, a little quality control would be appreciated for gifting. On that note, I was told $30 a bottle on the phone, but was charged$65 + tax when I arrived...was I charged an extra $5 for the Santa hats?!?! That's pushing nice list boundaries... Overall, it's a great bar to visit at the holidays, and they have some of the most unique sprits Reno has to offer. read more

We are actually members here. We have not been able to get here in time before closing. Unfortunately they close around 8 PM we don't get off work till 9 PM. However tonight we were able to get in about 7:30 pm. We really enjoyed our visit here. Taylor, Who is the bartender and very personable. He is A great mixologist. Since there's some functions downtown, there was no one in one meeting in. But quite happily, after we sat down to have our monthly cocktail, but a few people showed up and made it to real fun and social. The history of this place is pretty amazing. That they brew and distilled her own alcohols is a lot of fun. They just came out with a nice bathroom, and I will be back to try that. If you want to be authentic distillery experience, and yet still, a small hometown feel, you should really try this place. On a sidenote, they do have a membership here that includes two free monthly drinks, and a discount on their alcohols. It is really worth it. Give it a try! read more

Ferino Distillery - Seasonal drink - Distilleries Near Me - Reno, Nevada

Only $12?? I struggle to understand how I managed to get such an incredible drink at this price! Me and the wife stopped in for a flight tour, and I have never tasted so much flavor in a liquor! Everything from the sweet to the dry was spiced and flavored so well, I could have enjoyed any of them on the rocks (and I I'm a wimp with most liquors). Not to meantion the cocktails! During our stay in Reno NV, the wife and I tried the espresso martini, shakenado, fernet and coke, and the gin martini. We ranted, raved, oohed, and aahed over each and everyone of them! Now that we're back in Ohio, we are so sad we are without Ferino! We will miss you Joe Cinnamon! read more

I came to the Ferino Distillery for the first time yesterday as part of a Jewish Nevada function. This family-owned and operated distillery is located in the heart of Reno's Brewery District. It focuses on innovative spirits with classic Italian origins, which are highlighted via a full cocktail bar and events venue. The Ferino Distillery first came my attention when I ordered some hand sanitizer during COVID. And I've been on the e-list ever since. The Brewery District is definitely a neighborhood in upward transition, as what I saw on 4th Street was the ruminants of the old US 40, complete with dated motels along the way. Now called Business 80, just keep driving East and you'll be on the main interstate road before you can say "Bob's your Uncle and Fanny's your Aunt. Parking is fairly easy near Ferino, and probably safe within daylight hours. I had a great time! While in attendance, I enjoyed a delicious and well prepared Paper Plan cocktail and followed along later as the owner (Joe Cannella) led us through the history of his business, various creations, and some signature tastings. This included delicious sips of the Cannella Cinnamon Cordial, an Amaro Cannella, a Fernet Ferino, and Caffè Notte Single Origin Coffee Liqueur. The latter is a bit sweeter and would work well on ice cream. And after we were done with that, we received a illustrative tour of the Distillery in back. I look forward to coming back~ Will it be Gin College? Or a church event featuring "Jesus Juice", or to just share a cocktail and a nosh with Gayle? Time will tell. :) p.s. - Check out the cool murals behind the bar. read more

Last fall at an Elite Event, Ferino's owner Joe Cannella had mentioned he was putting together a gin school. Recently I wanted an extra special birthday present for a special friend, who happens to prefer gin. BINGO !! Ferino's Gin School is more like Gin College. Up to four people can schedule at one time, but Angela had the class to herself. And this is how the afternoon went- First a welcome to class drink of her choice. Well duh, gin and soda with lemon. Then a personal introduction to the class with Joe. Next a tasting of 5 gin variations to help narrow down the nuances she wanted. Then discovering all the botanical possibilities and combinations that could be used. After creating her list, Joe helped with proportions of each that would be needed. Then with mortar and pestle Angela opened up the essence of each ingredient. Joe placed the aromatics in a small basket in the mini still, added the liquid, and let it start distilling. That would take a little over an hour. So we joined a tour of the distillery. I've done this tour at least 6 times and it's always so much fun. You get to hear the background story on his name and the inception of the company. And now how it's growing. From the original three digestifs, to four and all the new classes- gin and cocktails. As well as a tasting of the Cinnamon Cordial, Amaro, Fernet, and Cafe Notte. Then we heading to the back where the deliciousness is distilled and infused for maximum and perfect flavor. There Joe took us through the process and the various equipment used. Afterwards we enjoyed a House cocktail created with one of his signature digestifs. As we sipped, we watched the still slowly finish releasing Angela's Birthday Gin droplet by droplet. Then Joe created her a label and filled the bottle, rounding out the gin to its best proof. What an absolutely great afternoon. Now I can't wait to try one of the new monthly cocktail classes starting in May. By the way, keep an eye out in late November- Joe has one of the best egg nogs in town. read more

Come here and get some good shit to drink. Ferino is a kind of new distillery near the breweries east of downtown Reno. It has some seriously good crafted liquors and the prices are kind of high but not outrageously for quality like this. Get here in the morning for coffee. Then come here later to get liquored up. I came with the girl to try a few locally crafted cocktails. Last time it was pretty quiet. The place can hold a small crowd when it gets busy which is usually on weekends. A thing here is they put their own twist on these liquors. They add some kind of spice. Often it seems to be cinnamon. They make an incredible tequila. I like the Cinnamon Margherita. It's $11 for a small one. They could give you more than this. Basically the worst thing here are the prices. I wish they weren't so stingy. Come for the excellent liquors. If you check in you get a few bucks off. They have coffee in the morning too. read more

Christmas came early during COVID when they allowed bars to do cocktails to-go, and I really came to enjoy that this holiday season! I was fortunate enough to receive a flask of the Canella cinnamon cordial, a specialty Frey Ranch "Ranch Hand" for a Yelp event, Uncle Joe's Winter Boulevardier and the limited release bourbon barrel Canella cinnamon cordial too! The standout was the boulevardier. It had a unique bitterness of orange peel with the citrus kick of the zest and this spice that I can't quite place, all of which comes from Ferino Amaro. I also enjoyed their cordial in coffee and hot chocolate, and that Ranch Hand was just a perfectly sippable over cocktail that showed off the four grain bourbon. Curbside or limited contact pickup available. Online ordering too. They've done the pivot pretty well. Can't wait until I can visit again. Thankful they have these ways to still serve the community. read more

We recently did a distillery tour at Ferino with some friends (tickets available on their website). Joe Cannella, the owner of Ferino, welcomed us and in addition to telling his story, he gave a behind the scenes tour of their facility and showed us how their unique Italian style liqueur is made. We learned that "Canella" is Joe's family name and is also the Italian word for cinnamon, which Joe discovered on a trip to Sicily. During our tour Joe went into great detail on the distilling process and was patient with our questions. It was really cool to learn their process and see it in action. After the tour, Joe provided tastings of their Cannella Cinnamon Cordial, Barrel Aged Cinnamon Cordial, Amaro Cannella, Fernit Ferino. Each has a distinct taste. Warning though, these are not for the weak... they are most definitely something you want to sip slowly!! The Barrel Aged Cinnamon Cordial was my favorite, and I hope they continue making this one going forward. Our experience was great. We really enjoyed getting to know Joe, his story, tasting the various spirits, and seeing Ferino's new digs. Really looking forward to spending more time here and enjoying their cocktails. read more

Great place if you want to enjoy a drink and conversation. We were looking for somewhere to have a drink and chat with an out of town friend. On a Friday night it can be tough to find somewhere without loud music or loud people. We made our way to Ferino. It was just the vibe we wanted. Quiet music and a handful of other patrons made for a fun spot where we could relax and catch up. Owner, Joe, was behind the bar. The clever menu is by spirit on one side and style on the other. As I Ferino member I skipped the menu and ordered the members only tiki style punch while my friends tried the Shakerato with Caffee Norre and the Toronto. The tiki punch was all the rummy goodness you'd expect but the delicious twist is a splash of the house made cinnamon cordial. The Toronto and Caffee Norre impressed as well. The bar does a good job of honoring the history of the spirits. There are murals, a botanical demo table, and receipts served in books about the ingredients. read more

Feríno Distillery is located in the Brewery District of downtown Reno, just East of Lead Dog Brewing. It is a little hard to find as it is squished in between two other buildings; I definitely missed the door the first time I was looking for it. There is parking to the East of the buildings and there is street parking. Once inside, you walk in to a very relaxed environment. Everything is very simple with cream colored walls and wood bar top. In the back of Feríno, you will see a small art gallery. The bartender, Kevin, told us that in conjunction with The Holland Project, the exhibits will change about every three months. I found that really cool, locals supporting locals - does it get any better? I ended up getting the Fauxsé (like Frozé, but Fuax). In it was Hendrick's, Amaro Cannella, Pomegranate, Chamomile, Mandarin Soda, served with three Ritz Crackers (Crackaz), and Cheese (Easy cheese?). The drink itself was DEEEELISH! Making it dangerous because it does pack quite a punch. The pairing was sort of complimentary; not what I would usually stick together but overall, having some crackers with was nice. Feríno Distillery has some games you can play, like cribbage, Uno, etc.. Feríno would be a fun place to take your friends out for a drink. Not the best neighborhood but still very fun and homey once you walk in and have a seat. I'd recommend going, I know I will be back to try more! read more

I meant to get in and visit Ferino within the first month...then the first year...and then Covid hit and it seems to have been more than 2 years since they opened. I really don't like waiting this long to visit a business after it opens. But this was unavoidable for me until now. Ferino has partnered with Coffeebar of Reno to make a really good coffee liqueur called "Corretto". But don't be misled to think this is just a Kaluha knockoff. This drink is not sickly sweet and can be easily sipped all by itself but goes so well in the handful of cocktails I was able to try. The old fashioned was my favorite. The bar itself is bright and leans heavy into the industrial origins of the building. Day drinking here doesn't feel dingy and out of time and place. The bartenders were both friendly and informative on the alcohols being distilled on property as well as the ones they were being mixed with. I look forward to getting a few drinks here in the future as well as getting a few bottles of the Corretto. read more
