Had a wonderful time tasting their spirits and getting a lesson on how they make their spirits. I love their Wilder Gin and Strawberry Bourbon. I recommend their spirits as well as scheduling a tasting at their distillery!

Take the tour (especially with Hans!), enjoy all the amazing education you'll get that makes you appreciate spirits in general and how this small company cares and supports the community and helps local famers and businesses while providing amazing liquors and cocktails.

These guys are just the best. Incredible local product and the friendliest people. I get a sample pack every year and break it up as mini gifts for co-workers etc. do yourself a favor and switch your gin to Wilder

What a great tour! I saw an ad on Facebook over a year ago and was curious. I planned to visit Ventura for a few days to go hike at the Channel Islands and added Ventura Spirits to my itinerary and I'm so glad I did! The tour guide knew what he was talking about and the tastings were amazing! If you even get a chance to visit Ventura, make sure to add this to your itinerary!

We did the tour and tasting as an all-(adult)-family birthday outing, and were not disappointed. Brad made the tour and tasting experience a true highlight, which everyone enjoyed. We came away truly impressed with Ventura Spirits' products, vision, and dedication to elevating the tastes and products of the agricultural Central Coast, and to sustainability as well. Check out their Wilder (all native CA botanicals) gin, their Amaro, and more. The tour's a bargain at $20 a person, and it's a great way to spend a couple of hours! Be sure to buy some product to take home, and help this great distillery keep on growing!

We visited for the Saturday tasting and tour and had an amazing time. The tour guide was fun and knowledgeable, and the tasting was delicious and generous!

So glad we took time out of our day for the Ventura Spirits tour and tasting! Hans, our Tour Master was informative and very entertaining! I love the “farm to table /resource back” philosophy that is the foundation of this company! Definitely recommend this tour and tasting!

What a gem! I love that this company works with locally sourced materials, uses products that might otherwise go to waste, and produces amazing and high quality spirits! The tour is awesome, too - so glad they are here.
We celebrated our anniversary in Ventura and decided to visit Ventura Spirits. Absolutely incredible experience 10/10. Our spirit guide Hans was insanely knowledgeable about the available liquors and you can tell a lot of love went into each sip. If you love to appreciate liquor and spirits, this is definitely the place to enjoy an intimate and thoughtful tasting.

I recommend the tour but they also have a great little bar to try out some drinks. They have best craft vodka, its called Haymakers. We come here specifically for the vokda to buy a box of six. Most people say the type of vokda you get does not matter and tend to stick to brands like Titos for everything.
But give their Haymakers vokda a try and you will taste a difference! I wish craft vokda was more of a thing but this stuff is a hidden gem.
*opps I drank some of my drink before the photo lol.

I've been meaning to write this review forever! Everytime we stop in or bring out of town guests for the tour, we're blown away by the humans of Ventura Spirits. The knowledge, love, pride, and dedication to sourcing local ingredients and finding new ways to use them really makes this place a gem in our community. Their liquid offerings are wonderful and unique too! (Currently loving the blueberry Pineau Bleu and the Pixie-Cello!) I've done the tour several times and have learned something new each time. . Special shout-out to Brad- I had a friend visiting one Sunday and we were the only two signed up for the tour/tasting, and he did the whole thing anyway for just us! (Also totally cool with my easy-going baby coming along with us! ?) We had sooo much fun that afternoon and really appreciated him. Stop in sometime and check them out!

Loved the tastings! Our guild was soo informative. How can you not support a local distillery that uses produce from our local farmers.
