A very enjoyable experience! - Family visiting from out of town enjoyed this tour immensely! Our tour guide, Harry, was very knowledgeable and shared so much history and technical information in such a fun and engaging way. We ate lunch before the tour at Penny Farthing, making this a wonderful afternoon!

If you like whiskey, take the tour. - The tour was excellent! Harry did a great job of explaining the distilling process. It's amazing that you do the entire process in your building. I would go again.

Simply the best! - Wonderful tour! Daniel was the best guide giving historical info as well as adding local flavor. His passion for the distilling and pride in the artisan liquors offered here shines through! The signature cocktails made with the distilleries’ infused vodka were wonderful! Had the crab bisque- highly recommend! Watching the bar master Alli mix on a busy evening? Magical!! I would consider this a “must do” on a trip through Bellingham-but a bottle- you’ll be glad you did when you get home.

Enjoyed the tour - We absolutely enjoyed the tour. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and thorough. I strongly recommend this tour. It is more than distillery. It is a multi use space. It was fun to learn about the history of the building.

Want all 4? Take! This! Tour! - What a wonderful and enlightening tour - I highly recommend it. Harry was wonderful and surprisingly knowledgeable for someone so young. The facilities were immaculate and the drinks were DELISH! If you like hard booze or learning or smooth drinks or just something fun to do for 90 minutes - or all four! - take this tour!

Nice tour - We’ve done many distillery tours and we were still able to enjoy this one. Our tour guide was very informative and friendly. We enjoyed the 2 drink samples and also getting to try the bourbon out of the barrel. It was nice learning about the background of the building. The new restaurant in the building was also good, with yummy food and drinks. The only downside was we didn’t get the souvenir glass from the tour that’s mentioned on the booking website describing the tour- kind of a bummer but I guess it’s one less souvenir style glass in my house. Would recommend this tour if looking for something to do in town. Takes about an hour.

Great tour - We thoroughly enjoyed a couple of hours touring Bellingham’s Chuckanut Bay Distillery. Our guide gave a clear and detailed description of the distilling process, accompanied by several cocktails and tastings. Following the tour, we enjoyed “happy hour” snacks at the associated Penny Farthing Restaurant next door.
