Excellent crafted spirits including whiskey, vodka, gin and brandy. If you're a rye lover, this is definitely the place to go. The owner is a friendly and knowledgeable guy who adds to the total experience. Soon to include a restaurant.

Supremely knowledgeable, great variety and had a wonderful time tasting. I just did the whiskey flight. Can't wait to go back for the vodka and Jen tasting. Bought two bottles for my collection. Can't wait for their expansion to finish.

Chris gave “Steller” (pun intended) service! Was very knowledgeable about his business and what he liked about the distillery industry. Although currently going through construction, they have a cozy tasting bar inside. Looking forward to their expansion and plan on returning soon!

Chris is the real deal! If you want a little bit of history while tasting one of the best distilleries in N. CA, this is the place to go...

So many varieties! Informative tour, great variety in tasting options. Something for everyone--vodka, gin, brandy, whiskey, and sometimes rum. Definitely going back to try the things I didn't get to on this trip

We went in for an afternoon tasting at Dry Diggings Distillery and absolutely loved it. This was only the second distillery we'd been to and it was honestly eons better than our first experience. Erica was the woman leading our tasting and she did a great job. She is super knowledgeable about all of their products and was able to answer all of our questions about the distilling industry in California. My partner and I both got the "Bar Cart" tasting - sampling a variety of their spirits.Honestly, when I go somewhere for a tasting I'm not generally much of a conversion person, but it was so natural to talk with Erica and I felt like she was really providing the information I wanted to hear. I loved how highly she talked of other distilleries in Northern California - it really felt like Dry Diggings was a community establishment that wanted to increase visibility of the distilling community as a whole, and she provided so many awesome recommendations of other places we could check out if we had a great time.Yes, of course the alcohol is more expensive than the stuff you'd buy on the bottom shelf of Total Wine, but reviews complaining about that feel out of touch. This is a small, local, craft distillery that is distilling alcohol that is fantastic and not like anything you'd get anywhere else! It's absolutely worth the price and they are very forthright about their tasting prices and the fact that they do not waive the tasting cost with bottle purchase on their website. I highly recommend going in for a tasting!

The one star must have been a competitive company. There is no way anyone could give this place anything but a 5 star rating. Especially after your experience all that they have to offer. Their selections are top shelf incredible. Their staff are amazing. Especially that Ryan Racz guy. He helped me with making my first selection. Delicious Rye. That other gal was the absolute best. Erica. About the same age as that Ryan character. Can't help but smile when in conversation with her. If you want amazing product at amazing process from an amazing company staffed by amazing people, this is the place to go. Thank you for all that you do and helping the community by making hand sanitizer when it was needed the most. God bless you!

Where do we start.. man this is an odd place. It looks like an industrial location that was renovated to look like a speakeasy. The bartender was nice enough, giving us 6 quarter shots for $40 ($20 per person for effectively 1 and a half shots of whisky). The biggest problem is that don’t have pricing on the tasting list. So you find a whisky that seems decent but when you get to the cash register you find out it’s insanely overpriced. We ended up liking the rubicon and the bourbon and ended up with a $180 tab for tasting plus two bottles (no tasting fees waived if you buy bottles, which isn’t common btw). We would never ever ever have purchased either of the bottles for the insane price they charged us. Overall, we aren’t coming back, and are surprised people choose their liquor over other competitors at their price point. Do not recommend unless you like subpar liquor at a premium price point
