Whistler has a long history of lightning visitor’s spirits: and nowhere is it more incredible at that than in its distilleries. The spirits you’ll find here are in liquid form, but they’re still sure to brighten your day. If you’re curious about what you’ll find here, here’s what to know!
Why Whistler?
Whistler has carved out a name for itself in artsy and fun, with a taste of tradition and respect for cultural importance. Although the alcohol here is extraordinarily varied: you can taste the tradition and age in it. Every distillery takes itself seriously and understands what it’s doing for the community.
How To Enjoy It
There are a couple of ways to enjoy the local distilleries! The main way is to enjoy a nightlife tour of them. These tours are relatively inexpensive yet will open you up to local brands of everything from wine to cheese, giving you a chance to try more than just the local alcohol. Although you can absolutely visit these distilleries on their own, it’s advised that you join a tour.
What Can I Expect From A Distillery Visit?
A distillery visit is different depending on the location, but you can find a lot of fun regardless of which you visit! Every visit will allow you to try some of the local flavors, enjoy snacks they keep on hand, and get to know the area’s history. Although it can be overwhelming to take everything in: it’s important to know the history!
Can I Bring My Kids?
Although we love our children and would love for them to be with us at all times, it’s not advised that you take them with you to distilleries. You can take them here as a treat they can also enjoy when they’re older, but this isn’t a space for children. Ensuring that you come without them also means you can relax and enjoy yourself a little more without having to worry about your children seeing you sip a lot of alcohol.
