Wood's High Mountain Distillery

Continues to serve the best cocktails in Salida. The bartenders like a challenge. Share thoughts on flavors and they’ll navigate the menu for you. They do both the traditional and the unconventional well. Piña Colada on a hot summer day made with gin? It’s delicious. Takeaway bottles are strong value and easily the best in the area. Treeline gin and tenderfoot whiskey are staples. The aged whiskeys and any rye should be grabbed whenever available as qualities can be limited. Once in a while, discounts are available on cases, but they don't advertise it.

Had a great time with Gingi and Sanford. A must stop in Salida.

Wonderful. Creative drinks for my whole family, a fun space to spend an afternoon.

Excellent cocktail program!! House made syrups and shrubs with a cocktail list of classics and some with a fun twist!

The best cocktails between CB and COS, and Vail to Santa Fe.

Great place, good atmosphere

I got an accidental glitter ice cube and it made my night. Gingi and Amanda are the best!

A gem in Salida! Excellent liquors, drinks, and exceptional staff. Dont miss if youre anywhere near Salida. What a special place

Great drinks and staff definitely stop on on Sunday to see Andrea.

Good drinks, kinda unwelcoming vibe

Came in with the fam. Good cocktails. Nice place. But, bartender behavior was borderline sociopathic and in a high trust society it's remiss not to warn others. So, come in at your own peril and stick to the menu where things are transparently priced. ;)

Great distillery with some awesome craft brew cocktails.

Super cute distillery with some great cocktails, fun atmosphere and dog friendly!!

Love this distillery.

We might have just caught the distillery on a bad day, but we had a really unpleasant experience at Wood’s High Mountain Distillery.

There was just one couple behind us in line, but the bartender was completely focused on moving through the line and unwilling to help, provide recommendations, or answer questions. When I asked the best whiskey to include in a flight, i was given a point to the whiskey bottles on the wall with a “you pick, hurry up”- and after taking a minute to read, we were asked to step aside since we weren’t moving fast enough.

Felt like rushed, stressed vibes in a New York deli, not a higher end tasting room in the mountains.

The spirits themselves were mostly good, as were the cocktails, but the atmosphere felt exclusive, rushed, and cold. The service seemed to be primarily frustrated with customers. We thought it might just be us, but everyone else in the tasting room was receiving the same gruff, frustrated, and annoyed service.

Even when we asked where we should leave our glasses so they didn’t have to bus our table, we were met with exasperation and frustration.

The general atmosphere honestly felt incongruous with the rest of Salida, and just wasn’t a welcoming, inviting, or comfortable place for a drink.
