Gena was so wonderful to our group! She told us all about her business. She spoiled my husband with samples of her favorite old fashion. Great service and an amazing product!
Had a wonderful and fun tour with Gina. The spirits were strong and the cocktails were amazing!
Best cocktails in town
Such a great local gem. These people are awesome.
Great visit, tour and tastings! We were lucky enough to have Gina, one of the founding partners, on our tour. Her passion shines through on what they have created at J Carver. Highly recommend a stop!
Fun place with great service and excellent beverages.
We were welcomed warmly and enthusiastically for our tour and tasting. Joe was an amazing tour guide and also assisted in the tasting room as we made our selections. our server Anne was so welcoming and helpful as well throughout our time (we stayed after the tasting and tour for more spirits!) Gina also stopped by our table and shared even more fun and really cool info. All the rooms (where the distilling, etc takes place) we toured were spotless, and that barrel room smelled like heaven! 😀🍸🏴☠️. We have gone on several Vineyard and Distillery Tours and I can honestly say I've never learned more great information than I did from Joe, Gina and Anne at J Carver. We will be back...often!!

We found this distillery from our MN distillery passport. We had a fantastic impromptu tour with Joe. He loves bourbon and sharing his knowledge with others. Our tasting was amazing. We were given great advice. The cocktails were awesome. Wish we lived closer to support this business. Gina offered to share some simple syrup recipes that I asked about. What a delightful distillery to visit. Thank you for the amazing service and hospitality.
Wonderful! Highly recommended. Joe was very informative and his enthusiasm was contagious.
Joe gives an amazing tour and his passion for J. Carver is absolutely contagious.

VERY happy with J. Carver's spirits! I only recently found out about J. Carver Distillery when I was recently invited to their 10 year anniversary by some friends, but I've since bought 4 bottles from them and have enjoyed all of them.
I'm especially impressed by their Runestone Rye and their premium vodka - I don't normally drink vodka, especially not without mixing it, but J. Carver's vodka tastes great neat!
Did a tour of the J. Carver Distillery in Waconia last night and had a great time! Gina walked us through some of the history of how the business started, and showed off the equipment. Very fun night, and the cocktails were awesome!
We did the tour & tasting and it was very interesting and educational! Friendly staff & overall fun experience.
I took my Dad, Mom and Wife here the day before fathers day and had a tour as well as a few drinks I had been here for a bachelor party earlier in the year and though it'd be a fun thing to do with my family. It was very cool to have another tour as well as another tasting where I tried a whole new set of shots the vodka is really really good. Nick was our tour guide (he's the best and totally didn't pay us in jokes to say this) he was very informative and fun to listen to thanks I will be coming back again I'm sure to show more people how delicious everything is!
My friends and I celebrated our 40th birthday. They did fabulous job making the event extra special. Gina was amazing, fun and provided lots of interesting information.
