Tasting Room Pictures

Thought it would be great to have current distilleries post up pictures and narratives of their tasting rooms to show off their hard work and vision. Plus it would give prospective distillery owners a good example to work off of. Thoughts? Anyone want to go first?

Thanks foreshot and bull!

We can handle about 30 people in our tasting room and we can accommodate another 10 in the private tasting room.  If we open up the entire building, including the distillery floor, we can host private events for about 75 people.

Heres a few of our tasting room.  Hard to get a good shot of the overall space as it kind of winds around.

To give some context of what we have going on - the first floor of my building has a warehouse space for pallet storage (24x36), common entry/lobby area with a garage door (12x24), grain and merchandise room with backup register (12x36), distillery seating and drink serving area (24x18), brewery drink serving and seating area (24x36).  The brewery is a separate business, but our serving and seating areas are in the same large room.

Building was originally a tobacco warehouse built in 1900 and added to the the national register in 1990.  Went for a rustic barn wood and metal look as it seemed to fit the building and our brand.  Most of the wood used on the interior build out came from a barn I helped tear down that was about 20 miles away from the distillery location.  On site sales are still a big part of our business so lots of time and energy go into the tasting room.  We are open five days a week for drinks and bottle sales and do four regularly scheduled public tours (free - no reservations needed) each weekend.

Freight elevator is original to the building and still inspected and used.  Runs like a champ!

Here is our tasting room. We converted a old Cadillace Oldsmobile dealership into our distillery. The original sign above the tasting room is 42' X 11'. Our room is still under construction and will update photos when we are done.

The tasting room bar from reclaimed wood grain elevator crib house. The bike is a three wheeled bottle hauler during farmer's market. The box on the back is metal and circa 1950s. Note the purse hooks on the bar.

View of the bar looking into the distillery. The metal is covering up where our cooling strip for cocktails is going to be.

Diner booths will be going in where the  "Bar" sign is located.  1953 Seburg Jukebox holds 50 records.

Thanks HB. You are going to be somewhat put off when I tell you that it was bought about 100 miles or so away from you and I had it shipped out here.
