Saturday June 11th, 2016 is #WorldGinDay, so it was coincidental to hear about the new Victoria Distillers location in Sidney, BC and their distillery tours and tastings.
Victoria Gin has been a favourite since it was introduced in 2008, new owners expanded the distiller to the Sidney, BC waterfront and have introduced daily tours and tastings. Visitors get a look at what goes on behind the scenes at one of Canada’s first artisan distillers. Learn about the distillation process, at what goes into and comes from the copper pot stills. From the botanicals, blending to bottling and hand numbering each bottle guests see it all. Then, after the tour, get a taste of the finished products. It’s the perfect way to celebrate #WorldGinDay!
Victoria Distillers Tours & Tastings are just $7 / person (children under 19-Free) and take approximately 45 minutes. Book online or by phone 250-544-8217
Watch for Victoria Distiller’s lounge to open soon, offering a change to watch bartenders make use of what the distillery calls their “Liquid Bar Tools”; Victoria Gin, Oaken Gin, Left Oak Hemp Vodka, Craigdarroch Whiskey.
Victoria Distillers is located at 9891 Seaport Place, Sidney, BC
