distillery tours
Spirit-making facility excursions
Distillery tours are guided visits to facilities where spirits like whiskey, gin, or vodka are produced.
Visitors typically see the production process—fermentation, distillation, aging—and sample the products.
The tours have become a form of tourism, especially in regions known for particular spirits: We did several distillery tours in Scotland.
