Bruinwood Estate Distillery is a premium spirits maker located on the Sunshine Coast, where local ingredients and global inspirations come together in a plethora of flavors. The distillery's craft spirits, all fermented, distilled, and bottled in Roberts Creek, showcase the best of British Columbian ingredients. With a tasting room and retail location open to the public, visitors can sample the distillery's wide range of spirits, from gins to creams, and experience the smooth flavors that come from this Sunshine Coast maker.
Bruinwood Estate Distillery is a hidden gem, offering unique and flavorful liquors, including Earl Grey gin and lavender gin, with a knowledgeable and friendly owner who provides tastings and explanations of the distillation process.
Whenever I visit islands, I always find local gems, and the Sunshine Coast is brimming with surprises. One such delightful discovery for me was Bruinwood Estate Distillery, which I happened upon by chance with a friend. Expecting just another local distillery, I was in for a treat. The owner, Jeff, is an extraordinarily friendly and remarkable person. This distillery is his retirement project, and his passion shines through in every bottle. Jeff served us a variety of unique and flavorful liquors from his collection, including Earl Grey gin, lavender gin, and mandarin orange vodka. Each one was a new and delightful experience. He even has some distinctive European-style liquors. Jeff’s favourite was Falernum. Bruinwood Distillery is truly a hidden gem. It's just a 15-minute ride from the Langdale ferry terminal, and after passing Gibsons, it’s only another 5-minute drive. I highly recommend this place. If you’re a local distillery enthusiast like me, you must check it out. #LocalGems #SunshineCoastBC #VancouverDistilleries #BruinwoodEstate #CraftSpirits #DiscoverBC #vancouver #canada

Owner is very friendly, you get to sample a bit of the gin that they sell. Owner is very knowledgeable & gives lots of explanation regarding the gin that they produced. A good place to go, check it out, you won't be disappointed!",

As a small batch distiller, they are having fun with the recipes and producing amazing limited edition flavours. The vanilla vodka was warm and earthy. The layers of botanicals in their gin is just heavenly. This distillery is a gem on the sunshine coast.",
