Fabulous hidden gem. Glad we found it. Got a great tour and they even invited our poodle Ronan to join. Very friendly owners invites us in and treated us like family. Wonderful gin. Also bought some Rhubarb Ginger Gin Liquer, which I am in danger of keeping all to myself it is so good. Really, all their products were great. I will definitely go back. This is a must visit spot.

Daryl was so wonderful he drove down within 5 minutes and gave us a private tour of the place. Then we had an opportunity to do some tasting. Honestly, everything was smooth to drink just depends if you prefer Gin or Vodka. Our full group left with a bottle or two to add to our collection.",

It has a little bit of everything, sweet, sour and spice. Owners are fantastic to talk with! They have a real love of the stories behind Vancouver Island.",
