Fun Experience for Imbibers - Enjoyable and educational tour with several tastings plus two delicious mini-cocktails. The small number of participants and in-depth stories make this an intimate and fun time for 2-3 couples. We have a better appreciation now for several spirits, one or two of which have become favorites. Our well-informed tour guide, Stella, was friendly and professional. Good value for the 90 minutes or so.

Family Tour of Distillery (our ages 35 to 75!) - Our guide, Stella, was knowledgeable, friendly, and funny! She enjoys her job and making people comfortable and engaged. We learned a lot, and enjoyed the tastings, and hearing about the process of making whiskeys. The machinery is fascinating and shiny!

Absolute Must Visit and will be returning - My best friend and I planned this event as a kick off to our week trip together and it couldn’t have been a more perfect experience. We ended up being the only two on the tour and our tour guide Stella was absolutely amazing. She was so knowledgeable, lots of great history, fun facts and really made the tour feel incredibly personal. We tried so many of the delicious spirits at the end of the tour and had a delicious meal at the Pennyfarthing. I say that the Chuckanut Bay Distillery is an absolute must visit if you’re ever in Bellingham.

Informative and interesting - Fun tour. Learned a lot! Delicious coffee liquor and my husband loved the bourbon. Takes an hour and cost 20 dollars. The renovation of the old building was well done.

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.
