So much fun!!! - This was so much fun! The staff really knows about the whiskey and explains to you how the distillery works. We loved our drinks and the food was yummy. We just caught the sunset and that view is amazing.

Amazing Educational Experience! - Amazing educational experience! My friends and I were lucky enough to catch the master distiller in action during our tour and he answered all of our complicated and weird questions with ease! We also got to taste the whiskey straight from the barrel as an added bonus. Highly recommend this cool experience! The bottles are so beautiful; I took one home as a father's day gift and I can't wait to to see what he thinks!

Go for the booze, enjoy the experience and the view of SF - This place is sexy! You can take a 5 minute ferry from San Francisco, driver over the bay bridge, or take a bus here (highly recommend the ferry). It's a very quick drive from SF, and I promise, you will feel well taken care of. The four of us had flights of whiskey (one had gin) and we received our t-shirts at the end. Very cute T's, and I was told they change them up a few times a year. And the high quality of the spirits was tasted and appreciated! The room makes you feel like you're on a movie set and the staff are friendly and helpful. The cherry on top of the sundae is the view of San Francisco. Most people don't get that view when in the city, so turn around and enjoy the view.
