After looking at the very attractive displays showcasing each product made at the Distillery, my daughter and I opted to share a tasting. We chose the Moroccan Rose and Grapefruit Flavored Vodka to start and I loved the distinct fruity taste without the sugary sweetness. Next was the Maple Gin, which was lovely as well. Our server told us she likes to mix it with muddled blueberries and ginger beer for a refreshing summertime mule, and I agree that does sound delicious. Our third taste was the Bourbon Maple Cream Liquor, which was so delicious, and we finished the tasting with the Maple Cram Liquor, which was smooth, sweet, and went down very easily. We were impressed with the cleanliness of the store - everything was sparkly clean and shining. The layout of the displays was so attractive. We will definitely stop there again on our next trip to VT.

The tasting room is small with a single counter for tasting and a wall of bottles for purchase but it's well worth the wait if needed. You can even sample the syrups while you wait for free! Our hostess was very informative about all of the spirits and very appreciative of each of her customers. She talked a bit fast but that's understandable in the environment, it's busy!! We each did a tasting, the special tasting and the regular, so we got to try almost everything! Our cabinet and fridge got a few new additions with the canned vodka sodas and a single barrel. I highly recommend a stop and a tasting of the Hopped Gin, whether you're a gin drinker or not!! We visited in August 2024.

For those unfamiliar with one, it is a two-piece container for fresh butter and a small layer of water.

I was kindly referred to this place and lo and behold I found one - just one, but a beautiful soft blue with a leafy design. And the prices are quite moderate. I bought a unique little pitcher for myself. A must visit as well as Red Hen Bakery & Cafe, Wifi, and all.

This location is NOT where the vineyards are. This is the wine tasting room/store. I was…read moredisappointed not seeing a vineyard as the touristy maps pointed this as the location of a winery. There is a vineyard but it is in the town of East Calais over the mountain as the sales lady described the directions of getting there. Since we were here, we decided on a wine tasting. It was a dollar for a small taste of each wine The downside was that we can only choose from the wines that were opened already. I could not try their blueberry wine. I did try the Pear wine, Rasberry Apple wine, and Stawberry Wine. I was really surprised how delish these wines were. My favorite was the Pear wine. The mister and I bought three bottles. Overall, as first time visitors to Vermont, the mister and I were in awe to find wineries here. Hopefully, we will find ourselves in their vineyards. This tasting room is next door to the popular cold hollow cider mill. Just go right into the Apple Core store and make a left into the tasting room.

The store looks interesting from the outside and upon entry you are greeted by numerous microbrews for sale. I was planning on purchasing some until I made the mistake of walking through Grand View's door. The tasting room looks like a dull office with some bottles of wine. If you want a tasting, be brave -firm and try your hardest to ask for one while being stared down by inmate 4319. She sure as hell won't offer you one. Inmate 4319 is handling important business on her phone. And get ready to ante up that $2, no one is pouring anything till some cash comes out. Also, pay cash this will protect you from 4319. The first wine I tried had white stuff floating in it. I asked what it was and was told "sediment". No sh*t really? But 4319 was not providing further info on the flakes of flesh floating in the wine. It was mostly different fruit wines. They may have been alright but I just banged the samples back so I could hurry up and leave. No one walks out on 4319.
