Additional Information

While the majority of distillery tours simply offer fancy-tasting samples accompanied by a short viewing of the equipment, overseen by someone with minimal knowledge of their products or their production process, Ferino Distillery promises a distinct experience. Whether the tour is conducted by the owner and master distiller, Joe Cannella, or a highly-trained member of our team, it promises a close and personal journey exploring the interplay between Cannella’s family heritage and the age-old traditions of spirit-flavoring in Southern Italy. In essence, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill vodka, gin, or whiskey distillery - come prepared for an adventure, and leave with lasting memories and potentially some bottled souvenirs!

Best Distillery Tour - Daniel was amazing! Made the tour fun and personal! Just ordered a few bottles to make some lazy espresso martinis at home! Will be back next time I'm in Reno, and I'll bring a bigger bag so I can take some bottles home!

10/10 will do it again - Amazing staff!! And it wasn't just whiskey that we tasted. I don't normally like gin, but even that was great! They also offer a gin class where you can make your own bottle of gin. That's happening on the next trip!

A fun, informative and tasty evening! - Joe Cannella was a wonderful host and tour guide. He explained the origins of the distillery name as well as his own history (Cannella means "cinnamon" in Italian - his family came from Sicily). His spirits were unusual and very flavorful, and the cocktails were delicious! Our fellow guests were a group of firemen from Hawaii-- we had such a blast! We highly recommend the tour. We will definitely be back.

Learned a lot about Italian Apéritif spirits. - Ferino is definitely a unique gem. It’s not just a typical distillery where they make exactly the same thing as every other distillery. We did the distillery tour and tasting flight which was hosted by Joe, the owner of the distillery. He focuses on making spirits that are inspired by his Italian heritage and you can taste the passion he puts into his craft. In addition to the spirits we tased as part of the tour, we had several cocktails at the bar. While there, we met one of the regulars who was a lot of fun to talk to. After the tour, tasting flight, and time at the bar, I have a much deeper appreciation of Italian Apéritif spirits and the art of making them.
