Had a great time tasting all the different options here! The candy cap whisky, apple moonshine, and smoked salmon vodka were definite standouts and were all delicious. I tried the smoked salmon vodka in a Bloody Mary and it was delicious! The staff are super knowledgeable and very friendly. Definitely work checking out! read more

Nice staff but um, this stuff is more than a bit hard to swallow. Salmon flavored vodka??? Oh god it's horrible. What possessed someone to think that's a good idea is beyond my comprehension. The canned drinks aren't terrible; however, most of the spirits taste like leftover hand sanitizer from Covid. read more

My boyfriend and I went for a walk after lunch a Noyos down the road when we saw this place. We decided to give it a shot and share a tasting. It was an incredible deal! $12 got you ~8 distilled spirits, plus we got to try their two canned cocktails (lemon drop and sea breeze). We ended up playing some free pinball and ordering one of their cocktails. Before we left, we decided to purchase one of the bottles of distilled spirits and it waived the tasting fee. The woman serving us was so friendly and had a lot of knowledge about what they were pouring and their use of candy cap mushrooms in two of the alcohols. It's also pet friendly! read more

11/2025 - Super cute distillery with STRONG drinks. A cute tiny place but trendy and fun. They have a few tables on the inside and several picnic benches on the outside. They sell their drinks in a can if you'd like to take some home.. I didn't try it, but I think their canned drink was a lemon drop. Looks like they have daily specials. read more

What a lovely place to stumble upon! While checking out the wonderful seafood eateries at Noyo Harbor, I glanced upon a sign that said "hot toddy" and I was sold! Our hostess was gracious, kind and accommodating. Drinks are fabulous and the liquor of superb quality. Turns out, Schnaubelt also owns our favorite seafood place across the way... Sea Pal! While you are enjoying libations at Distillery they will delivery Sea Pal food to you! It's. Sooo. Good. See separate review for Sea Pal. All in all, had fun playing complimentary pinball and will be back. read more

Came for a tasting. It's next to the local fish and chip places. Good idea to have drinks here and head to food. There's a really nice bartender serving the tasting menu. She's honest about her feelings about the drinks she serves, which makes the experience fun. There are really good drinks (cap mushroom bourbon) or not so great ones (smoked salmon whiskey) but overall it was a fun experience. They also give the tasting free if buy a bottle of spirit. They have tables and a bar area. read more

came in for a quick drink and ended up staying a few hours. the customer service was great, and the bartender paige was super friendly and welcoming. made some friends. we ordered a flight and loved it so much we grabbed some canned cocktails to go. i'm not usually a fan of the taste of alcohol, but these are honestly the best canned cocktails i've had. 10/10 would recommend to a friend, and i'll definitely be back if i'm in ft. bragg again! read more

Fun place. Nice people. Good and interesting libations. Highly recommend stopping in for a tasting.

Schnaubelt Distillery presented wonderfully lovely Rum, and great Vodka in the old ice house and fishery. With Zack as our tasting guide we tasted 2 Rums(one toasted cherry wood-our favorite), Vodka, and Gin. Zack was an amazing guide with a wealth of information as he becomes a master distiller. Love that the tasting room houses an old beautifully restored roadster and mermaid figurehead. This is a Noyo Harbor, Fort Bragg Gem! read more

This place is a cool hole in the wall that my fiancé and I stumbled upon. It was by the pier and just opened. We did a tasting which included vodka and rum I believe. They were pretty good and the owner gave me a coca cola to drink with it. The owner, John was nice to show us the process of distilling. The prices were really good too! read more

I was staying nearby at the Anchor Lodge and I couldn't help but notice Schnaubelt Distillery's jaunty signage. It was 5:55 pm and their tasting room closed at 6pm, so I dashed in, thinking there wouldn't be time to taste. John (the owner) and Paige greeted me warmly and said that they would still let me try a flight! Their bar is in a very cool retro industrial building, but it's still cozy to sit at the counter area. My favorite was their gin so I got a bottle of that for me. I bought friends a very unique mushroom infused vodka and some prepared canned beverages. I really can't recommend visiting them enough. The drinks are wonderful and the company is fabulous. John's mom even popped in for a moment. This is a true small family type business. read more

Service from Paige was exceptional! Atmosphere is very cool and comfortable. You can see how they make their products because it has an open layout. There isn't any food but you're allowed to bring food in and eat it there. Highly recommend this tasting room. Flights are affordable and if you buy a bottle that fee is waived. Everything is full of flavor! Great place to hang out. They also have mixed drinks and hard seltzer. read more

My wife and I were visiting the north California coast for our anniversary and stumbled across Schnaubelt Distillery while walking to dinner. We came back after eating and did a flight. Awesome place and fun stories already for a new distillery. Bought their corn Vodka, Gin made from local botanicals, and their Candy Cap (local mushroom) infused Vodka. We also bought some cans of their pre made sea breeze cocktail which we are now enjoying on the beach a day later in Bodega Bay! Check this place out next time you're in Fort Brag. read more

I'd driven and walked by this place many times wanting to stop but never having the time. Yesterday I took a second to stop in to find a Christmas present for someone who has it all. I'm a big fan of the harbor and have always wanted to convert one of the historic buildings into a cool residence. Entering this fabulous redo, the fire burns brighter. The space takes you in a tasting room that transports you back in time and is balanced by a state of the art equipment used to make their fine wares. I felt bad interrupting the proprietors lunch, but I was on a time crunch. He was very engaging and answered my questions to a T, so instead of leaving with one bottle I left with 3... sadly none for me and no samples as I was volunteering. I would highly recommend that whether you live here, or are just visiting, that you stop in if you are age appropriate. I think it will become another abalone pearl on the coast. read more

Great discovery and excellent spirits. Bought a bottle of vodka and the Seabreeze.... divine. Lovely hospitality in an unpretentious but top quality environment. Enjoyed a world class vodka martini. Thank you. Will return. read more

Awesome new distillery in the heart of noyo harbor. Quaint location that used to be the old noyo ice plant. Currently they're making rum and vodka but expanding soon. Pet friendly! read more

Great ambience, and really neat spirits. I loved the lavender gin. All foraged locally which makes it special.

I 100% recommend. If you like to try new things this is a must. They are very generous and very creative. Everything was unique and very good. If you are concerned that they don't have food items then don't be Noyo is just across the street and has hands down the best fish tacos in the U.S. You will leave thinking about who you can take back next to share this amazing find with. read more

I'm a little late posting a review,we were there in October. The lovely lady running the tasting room was awesome, she was close to closing up, and let us in for a tasting. My husband isn't a vodka person but he really liked theirs. I thought it was excellent and bought two bottles, one for me, and one for hubby's former boss, who likes vodka. He reported back after a visit with him that he really liked the vodka. A nice sipping vodka, no other ingredients required. I can't wait to tap into mine. We will definitely be back next time we're in the area. read more

Did the tasting. Fun little distillery with fantastic gin with locally foraged ingredients.

Great little spot in the harbor! Definitely stop by and taste and take some home. Dog and people friendly

Great service terrible liquor. not great whatsoever. sea breeze was great. vodka made me throw up

Very friendly service. Good tastings. Ended up buying one of their bottles. You can bring food from outside. I would definitely visit them again when we are in town. read more

Really cool to see the old Ice House turned into a distillery! They have some of the best vodka you'll ever taste in my opinion LOL so smooth! I recommend going down and taste and some of their rum gin and vodkas! read more

Nice place but really $187 for 8 beer can size cans of vodka? Won't be back. That's nothing close to the bottles they sell. Feels like a scam. read more

My husband and I have driven by Schnaubelt several times over the past year and I've always been curious. Today, we were fortunate enough to actually walk in and taste a flight of their offerings. Here's the beautiful thing, everything was smooth, complex and wonderfully aromatic. We were served by Nicky, knowledgeable, warm and genuine. In the background, vintage home movies from the owners family played on the screen. It was warm, quirky and I felt connected to their story. I love that they've restored a historic piece of Noyo harbor and have transformed it into this cool environment. As someone who's had the privilege of tasting alcohol and food across the world, I was pleasantly taken aback by how good everything was. And what's more, from talking to Nicky, I could sense the pride of their product and effort without a trace of hubris...I have no doubt that they're going to skyrocket. Go there, for the great product. Stay to experience the warmth and hospitality that's evocative of the soul of fort Bragg. read more
