    This was my first time ever checking out this particular distillery and I was very impressed!! Not only did they have their own distillery area, but they also had a private walk-through you could do and a tour. Along with tastings, they had cocktails, whiskey, vodka, and some little snacks! There was one gentleman doing a tour when I arrived, apparently it was a private party before they opened. He said I could look around, and I was shocked by how big and spacious there lounge area was!! They also had a stage in the back, so I bet they have live bands that could perform and their service was great!! I love the different combos of cocktails and I loved their coffee martini!! I actually had a sample of it at a Yelp event last month along the peninsula! I met the owner there and he was incredibly friendly and outgoing and so was the other whiskey maker alongside of him. The gentleman that served me this particular Saturday was also very friendly and outgoing, as well as knowledgeable about the brewing styles and the history! I will definitely come back here again, and I'd love to do a Flight of different whiskeys!! Great little area tucked away into Petaluma!! I also like how you can buy the products after you taste them!! I bought a bottle of the coffee martini and I'm very excited!

    Amazing distillery with great tastings of a variety of different spirits made on premises. The gin is devine and the premade Espresso Martini in a generous size bottle is fantastic and affordable. I made sure to get a few bottles of the martinis for game nights at my house. The gals and guys all loved it. I should have bought more. The tasting area is clean and loaded with charm and tempting products. Distillery equipment can be glimpsed through a window at the back adding to the small business ambiance. I joined their club. I'm looking forward to sampling more of their products and the recipes and events they have. Totally worth the RV drive up from Palm Springs area. The staff are friendly and knowledgeable! Can't go wrong!

    And here for you event, it was absolutely great. They had lots of tastings. It was good. I bought some. They had a trivia there was food and the people were nice. It was a fun atmosphere you play games and all of that so I definitely go back to buy some more whiskey

    This small tap room makes for a great datenight drinks location. Service was friendly and knowledgeable with the drink menu. While there we discovered that they have many events, like Sunday live music, paint night & tours. Check them out!

    Nice distillery in Petaluma! Laid back ambiance with plenty of indoor/outdoor seating as well as bar seating. You can opt to do a spirits tasting or cocktails or both! Their whiskey is quite tasty & easy to drink. They offer a variety of cocktails as well & update their menu so you have a chance to try different cocktails each time! The service is friendly & they bring the drinks out to you fairly quickly. They offer food options through outside vendors so you don't have to worry about going hungry here! Definitely a nice spot to hang out with friends & large groups!

    Awesome drinks and service. We bought a few bottles to go. Some of the best crafted whiskey

    Did a tasting here the other day. It was hella fun but ngl, I gotta a little too lit. The pours for the tasting are fairly heavy so watch out! Of everything I tasted, the espresso whiskey was my favorite. It Fr tasted like a mocha.

    Drinks and chill is given a whole new meaning when drinking the cocktails and spirits being offered at Griffo Distillery. Located in an industrial area in northern Petaluma along Scott Street mere blocks from the main artery that is North McDowell Street, Griffo Distillery was founded by married duo Michael and Jenny, who took their passion for entrepreneurship and dream to work together into their own hands with their very own distillery, which officially set up shop here in Petaluma in 2015. Fifteen years from creation and eight years from establishment, Griffo Distillery is serving up some of the finest crafted and bottled gins, whiskeys, vodkas, and even coffee flavored liqueurs. With a friend, who has been a long time resident of Petaluma and a supporter and member of the Spirit Club of Griffo Distillery, really speaking about the virtues of visiting this local purveyor of all things spirits, wanting to sample their new chocolate and spirit tasting pairing that they were offering for 30 dollars a person, I was sold for a visit. We came on a recent weekend afternoon and upon checking in with our host Jamie we were sat in their open air warehouse, which was accentuated with a bohemian atmosphere with comfy sofas and chairs and hanging lights and curtains overhead. For our pairing, Jamie presents you with three handcrafted and painted chocolates, of which we learned that aspiring chocolatier Jamie created herself, along with three of their signature spirits and liqueurs. For our first pairing, we enjoyed their chili lime espresso chocolate which was paired with two of their whiskeys, their Stony Point Whiskey and their Stout Barreled Whiskey. Both whiskeys had an amazing aroma upon first whiff, and of the two, the Stout Barreled Whiskey was a little more subtle on the nose but coated your throat in a more sublime way. For our second pairing, we enjoyed a roasted pineapple caramel white coconut ganache, which was paired with their Barreled Gin. Here gin just shoots straight down your hatch, but when paired with their ganache, with caramel oozing out with every small bite you can make with such a small chocolate, this was definitely my favorite pairing of them all. For our third and final pairing, we enjoyed their Stony Point Whiskey bonbon, which was paired with their Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur. For this pairing, both the chocolate could be enjoyed separately or together and their Cold Brew Coffee Liqueur was my favorite of all of their spirits, as it was smooth without being overpowering. To be able to enjoy handcrafted chocolates with handcrafted and bottled spirits is something that I never knew I needed. Since we were enjoying the ambience of the vast tasting room, my friend and I decided to order from their cocktail menu, of which there were five handcrafted cocktails to choose from. I ordered their Persimmon Raspberry Sour which had persimmon vodka, raspberry gum syrup, soda water, and lemon. My friend ordered their Golden Pineapple which had vodka, vanilla bean syrup, lime, fresh pineapple, and soda water. I loved my cocktail, as it had a refreshing finish with a tangy kick of persimmon in every sip, while after sampling my friend's cocktail it was as if I was enjoying a Dole Pineapple Whip, as it was a juice-filled breezy beverage that was good to the last drop. Our total bill was $47.47 per person before gratuity was added in, which totaled to $94.94, and was broken down to the liqueur and chocolate tasting being $30 a person, and the cocktail being $13 a person, which was reasonable when one considers the overall enjoyment of our day and the uniqueness of our tasting. Griffo Distillery has certainly become a proud member of the local community in Petaluma, as they also have trivia nights on Thursdays and food pop-ups that take place on Fridays. Anyone can pop on right in an enjoy the ambience and a handcrafted cocktail, or one of their signature spirits to savor over because at Griffo Distillery they truly have something special occurring, as they have become a place where locals and out-of-towners alike can find some of the most distinctively crafted gins, whiskeys, vodkas, and liqueurs sold in the Bay Area. From a dream that a locally based couple had to build something together to becoming a mini-empire, Griffo Distillery is a business that we can marvel at and celebrate.

    Stopped by here yesterday and really enjoyed it. We had a delicious cocktail and then went on a tour and did a tasting. All of the spirits were fantastic but my favorite was the vodka and cold brew. Highly recommend the cold brew. Strong coffee flavor with a perfect amount of sweetness. The tour was very informative and fascinating to learn about the modifications the owner has made to the equipment. If you're in the area visiting Lagunitas this place is walking distance away and shouldn't be overlooked.

    Amazing little hidden gem! Had a great time with my bf. We did a flight, super bomb!! An opportunity to get acquainted with different drinks. The service was phenomenal. Everyone is super down to earth. Definitely coming back!

    Andrew D.

    The service was great and the whiskey's are on point. Kyle was the bar tender when we arrived and was very knowledgeable about the spirits and cocktails. I ordered a flight and enjoyed the event room which was stocked with barrels. They had good music playing and the breeze was nice while sitting on the couches. Would highly recommend stopping in. Special event on Fathers Day as well! Check it out!

    So I really like the cocktail kits and then we decided to go and try this place out last Sunday. It was great , The drinks were outstanding and Jaime was was super friendly and made us feel right at home. The place has a relaxing atmosphere and we really felt like this place was such a sleeper. We had no idea how much we would enjoy it. We ended up joining the club.

It's amazing how they can transform this place into something magical and memorable for the couple to make it their own and add their own special touches. Such a beautiful place and the journey starts a couple of miles before reaching Flying Cloud. The drive up with the greenery and awe inspiring beauty that surrounds this place and the hills especially late afternoon as the sun sets low, the peaceful drive up sets the tone for the experience one is about to have here. I've come here a few times to see it as well as the day before for rehearsal and seeing it on the day of the wedding was unbelievable. The place completely transformed into this wonderful fairy tale enchantment that was perfect for the couple. Absolutely a charming place. They transformed this place from the ceremony with the arbor with pretty floral arrangements and rows of chairs with umbrellas to a full dining delight in round tables, linen, flowers and umbrellas. So so special. And at night with the white lights on the trees and the hanging light above the dance floor was just picture perfect! I also should mention the bridal suite is large enough for the bridal party (and then some) with a makeup/hair artist to get ready in. Thank you so much to the staff who worked here that evening, the coordinator here at Flying Cloud and a big thank you to Julia who was wonderful to work with (at rehearsal and day of wedding), so calm and she made sure everything turned out perfectly for the couple's epic day.

Both of my clients that have had their weddings here also told me how great Jeannette and Julia were from the beginning!

We were very excited to each have our own rooms with attached bathrooms, and felt like QUEENS... I personally was in Room #6 upstairs with a cute little balcony. The bed was so luxurious and ridiculously comfortable that it made it really hard to get out of bed and face the day (side note: they are clearly brand-new beds and incorrectly spoken about on that negative review, so take that one with a grain of salt, SMH); Some had deep jetted tubs, some had ADA walk-in showers, something to accommodate everyone's needs! Each bathroom even had extra amenities you wouldn't expect like make-up remover and cotton balls - such a nice touch! One thing I was worried about was the traffic noise at night, but it was not an issue at all, which just shows that the insulation renovations that were completed really were impeccable and every last comfort was thought of for their guests.

This place is, by far, the most uncomfortable stay at any place, ever. History be damned. We were in a room RIGHT next to a main road that provided road and car noise all night long. It was LOUD. For myself, I experienced the worst two nights of 'sleep' that I can remember because of the noise and a mattress that should have been discarded YEARS ago. The gas fireplace didn't work. Zero instructions on how to get it lit. YouTubed how to get it lit, still didn't work. The condiment on this shit sandwich of a stay was the veranda outside our room having a security camera pointed directly toward the outside furniture where you'd sit. Zero chance of having ANY privacy. Its creepy and total bullshit. We can tell the place is owned by people that could not care less about the comfort of the guests, you're just income for them. Who puts cameras in private areas? We couldn't have disliked the place any more than we did. The place is a joke. It sure made a rough stay in Santa Rosa.
