    St. George Spirits image
    What an awesome place. The view from the parking lot is very impressive. Then off to the tasting. The host who poured out our flights is an expert at spirits and she also gave us a little lesson on spirits tasting. Our drinking age family members all enjoyed this visit. If you like spirits, it is a must visit. Also a few doors down, there is a brewery serving a nice selection of beers and food truck right outside. The brewery is very family friendly. Although, I would not bring children to St. George. See more..

    This was a winning surprise tucked away from the highway. Fabulous grounds, great tasting cider in many flavors and cheerful friendly service. Great play areas for children and families. We were even permitted an overnight stay in the back wooded area in our RV. Right next to a gently flowing stream lined with tall oaks and bordered by the Apple Orchard. Trails for walking to the mine, views of the lake, and trails for bike riding. Will definitely return. See more..

    - WOW
    Distilleries
    J. Riley Distillery image
    While visiting breweries around Redlands, we found this distillery was just across the parking lot of a great brewery. Thinking we would go in for a whiskey flight, it was fun to find that they offered wonderful cocktails to taste the fruits of their labor. They make some very smooth & wonderful spirits, and create the best cocktails I've ever tasted....Old Fashions, Manhattans, TT Spice, Lemon Drop, Gin Rickey and the list goes on, they will make one up for you too if you ask and let the wonderful staff create for you. Smooth Bourbon, Whiskey, Blue Korn Clear, Gin, Vodka + a couple others...they also make most of their own simple syrup flavors (habanero, ginger, jalapeno & more). We stopped by three days in a row to try more creations, so well worth it! The staff here are wonderful and friendly, full of knowledge and just fun to be around, make you feel like family. They do not serve food (they do have snacks), but you are more than welcome to bring food in to enjoy with your cocktails. I will come by and visit everytime I'm back in Redlands....wish they were closer to home....if you are in the area it is a must try - I cannot say enough good things about this place - quality, taste, atmosphere, people, fun....a must do in Redlands. Just a note....this is NOT an activity, especially for families with children - it's a bar, you need to be 21 to get in. See more..

    Savage & Cooke image
    We had a VIP experience touring the distillery. Started with a tasting that literally re-calibrated my entire palate to what whiskey, bourbon, and rye should be. Then we walked through the historic buildings and got the complete lowdown on how this liquid gold is produced, from the grains used, the stills and containers it's distilled in, to the specific barrels it's aged in. The folks that run the distillery do the tours and can tell you everything about the operation. We even got some ghost stories and spy tales that come from the military history of the site. A fantastic afternoon! See more..
  16. 5.0 Mike Curphy Distillery (1 review)
    - Hidden Gem of Bourbon deliciousness
    Friday: 4:00 PM - 7:00 PM Distilleries
    Saw this place when i was at another local distillery. Thought we'd check it out. Glad we did. Mike was at the counter when we arrived. Very friendly and knowledgeable about distilling. He has Bourbon, Rum, Uisge Beatha, Rye Whiskey, and Moonshine of all flavors. We had a good time talking about different aspects of distilling and types of grains used for the different spirits. Tried several spirits. Enjoyed the bourbon, uisge beatha, and rye. He also has an almond flavored uisge beatha. Most of the spirts are distilled to 80proof. The bourbon is smooth and flavorful. Ended up taking home the bourbon, pure moonshine, and watermelon moonshine. Highly recommend stopping by and exploring the different spirits. We will definitely be back. See more..

    - Delightful local small batch distillery!
    Distilleries
    Copper Collar Distillery image
    We had a wonderful tasting experience at the newly-renovated Copper Collar Distillery location in Santee! Their vodka and rum have amazing flavor profiles all on their own, but these guys know how to make an excellent cocktail as well. Their obvious passion for the art of small batch distilling and craft beverages make it well worth a visit. See more..

    Friday: 2:00 PM - 6:00 PM Spent < 1 hour Distilleries
    Sabbatical Labs Farm Distillery image
    We are a grain to glass distillery...meaning, we grow the grains right here, on our farm; which, we then mill, ferment, and distill into a deliciously smooth and complex spirit. We will soon be offering distillery tours, but until then, come by our bottle shop to taste our new spirits and speak with our distiller about the process. Call us for bottle shop details and hours of operation. See more..
