Tours & Tasting

Creating world-class spirits is equal parts nature, art, and science.

We invite you to tour our distillery and taste the nuanced magic that our passionate team is producing.

Explore the alchemy

Our distillery is the beating heart of Klocke Estate—the crossroads of all the growing, distillation, maturation, and blending that goes into creating exceptional brandies and vermouths.

Our two stills—a hand hammered copper Alembic Charentais imported from France and a bespoke German pot still—combine centuries of old-world knowledge with modern technology. They are a wonder to behold, and reflect the alchemical process that turns our fruit into wine and then to spirits.

You’ll also learn about the estate master plan and how regenerative agriculture, technology, and the age-old traditions of growing fruit for brandy come together in a holistic ecosystem at Klocke Estate. From the 43 varieties of specialty apples to how barrel aging in our “Chai” (pronounced “Shay”) is essential to the patient development of flavor and complexity in our brandies.

Taste the magic

Talking about distillation is one thing. Tasting it is where it’s at!

Inhale the aromas and feel the warmth of the florals and spices as our highly-trained staff guides you on a tasting of un-aged brandy, Calvados, and our Brevis vermouth. Each has its own, distinct personality… which one do you prefer?

Distillery tours and tastings are available every Wednesday - Sunday, 12-9 pm.
