Ampersand Distillery

Father-and-son duo Stephen and Jeremy Schacht built this craft distillery from the ground up, including designing and building their own unique stills. The award-winning gin and vodka they produce here are made with certified organic wheat from the BC mainland and botanicals from around the world, such as Albanian coriander, African grains of paradise, and juniper berries from Bulgaria. They now grow their own wild-harvested botanicals on the five-acre site. Don't miss the "Nocino!", a seasonal green walnut liqueur which was awarded best nonfruit liqueur in the 2019 Pacific Northwest Sip Awards.

Montis Distilling

Whistler’s first and only craft distillery produces gin and vodka using botanicals from the local natural surroundings. You can book a tour and tasting at their small facility in Function Junction or order a cocktail in Whistler Village at one of the many restaurants and bars that carry their spirits: The Raven Room, Basalt, Bearfoot, and more.

Okanagan Spirits Craft Distillery

All of the spirits at this award-winning craft distillery—vodka, whisky, gin, absinthe, etc.—are 100% made from BC fruits and grains. Stop by for a tour, tasting (C$10), or to shop the storefront. Be sure to check out their Evolve gin line, which changes color when citrus or tonic are mixed in with the spirit.
