Weldon Mills Distillery Durham

Weldon Mills Distillery is such a gem! From the moment I walked in, the service was fantastic! Friendly, attentive, and they really know their stuff when it comes to the drinks.

The cocktails are top-notch, all crafted with their own spirits like rum, gin, whiskey, and tequila. I tried a couple and each one was smooth, flavorful, and perfectly balanced. And the food? Absolutely delicious! The brisket nachos were loaded and full of flavor, and the elotes deviled eggs were such a fun twist.

One of the best parts is their $10 tastings, such a great way to try out their gins, vodkas, whiskeys, or tequilas without breaking the bank.

They’ve got their original spot in Weldon and a beautiful location in Durham, which even features a full-service event center and a private tasting room. Both locations have a great atmosphere and make you want to hang out a while.

Overall, Weldon Mills really does have it all, amazing drinks, tasty food, great vibes, and outstanding service. Definitely worth a visit!

Shoutout Ryan, Berk and Drake! Really nice dudes

Thanks to all the staff and personnel working during our visit. Too bad we could not participate in the tasting due to our driving itinerary, lol... we can't wait to go back 🤓🥃🧐

Delicious Cocktails 🍸 🌸
Beautiful place! We will be back! ✨

Found this little place in my travels and decided to give it a whirl. Parking is available, but there's not a lot of parking here. You will park and walk off spots at all taken. The staff was super friendly and promptly attended to us. We only ordered some of their Bourbon here, however it is worth trying. I ordered the Reserve and had a nice smokey flavor and was flavorful and extremely smooth. If your in the area give this place a stop. The atmosphere is really cool. 2 thumbs up here.

Amazing drinks- not only do they make their own whiskey/bourbon, they also have their own vodka/tequila etc. Will definitely be going back to try their food next time too!

We stopped by this distillery while in Durham for a career fair in the RTP area and it was an awesome place to unwind.
The ambiance had a relaxed, speakeasy vibe, and the bartenders were friendly and eager to chat about the drinks and the space.
We ordered a Spicy Marge and Old Fashioned. They were just what we needed after a long day.

Visiting Weldon Mills Distillery was truly an unforgettable experience. The tour was nothing short of amazing — not only was it incredibly educational, but it was also engaging from start to finish. You can really feel the passion and craftsmanship behind every step of their process, and the guides do a fantastic job of bringing the history and science of distilling to life. Customer service was top notch. Everyone we met was warm, welcoming, and knowledgeable, making us feel right at home the moment we walked in. It’s clear that the staff genuinely care about the quality of their product and the experience of their guests. And the drinks? Absolutely incredible. Whether you’re a seasoned bourbon lover or just curious to try something new, their spirits are smooth, flavorful, and expertly crafted. Each pour tells a story, and it’s clear why Weldon Mills is earning a reputation as one of the best distilleries in the region. Highly recommend this stop to anyone traveling through North Carolina — you won’t be disappointed.

Great environment, friendly staff, reasonable cocktail prices.

Story telling was wonderful, the drinks were good and matched the stories being told. A lot of people dressed up which added to the fun. Would love to attend again but next time at night! Would be spookier then

Delicious spirits and tapas!

Excellent atmosphere. My wife and I are near the original Weldon Mills distillery lucky for us. This location in Durham is fantastic. Tim the bar tender was great along with the rest of the staff. Drinks were excellent. My wife and I were very impressed with the Edgar Allen Poe speakeasy that was presented up stairs. Looking forward to future adventures.

Absolutely stellar performance. Can’t wait for Part II.

This was a fantastic, glorious production. I am do glad I watched it! I highly recommend it for all Poe enthusiasts.

Great experience, lots of fun and laughter. The performers were amazing and very interactive with guest.
