Springfield Distillery is a must visit! My fiancé and I have been roughly 5 times. Our first stop was in the original building in early 2024 and the rest have been in the much larger, new tasting room. The staff's hospitality is unmatched and t...
he drink selection is plentiful. Whether you're a bourbon drinker or a cocktail connoisseur, Springfield has something for you.
Kelly and Sara have always treated us well. They have gone as far as to recommend other hidden treasures in the area and even booked us a reservation at a local restaurant. While I can't guarantee you'll receive the same perks, I can say you'll feel more like apart of the family as opposed to a routine customer.
I recommend this place to all my friends and family and make a point to visit anytime I am in the area. If you're on the fence about attending, just do it! You will not be disappointed!

My husband and I discovered this location because of Groupon. They are located in Springfield, VA. A very expensive property with lots of trees and you can see cows in the distance. The bar is located in a cabin. There are only a couple of ...
tables inside. 2 bathrooms with sliding barn doors are inside as well. There are a number of picnic tables outside. There is also a covered area with tables and the day we visited live music. In cooler weather they have a couple of raise fire pits that are a nice place to warm up. We had a tour which included 2 drink glasses. The tour was very informative. We learned about their process as well as about how the family came to start their distillery. It is very much a family operation. They show a lot of attention to detail and take a lot of pride in their product and making sure it is quality. Grandma is even present to tell you how great her grandson is doing. We did a tasting. The cost is $20 for tasting 3 And a large cocktail or 4 tastings and a small cocktail. We really enjoyed the Bottled and bond bourbon, 1847. It was aged 4 years and was very smooth with a burn. We also liked a couple of the flavored whiskeys. This was the first time we had ever had a mint whiskey. I really like mint mojitos and this will make a great base for that. We also liked the blackberry whiskey.

Do not pass this place up. Every where we went we were told to try the distillery and they did not disappoint.
had a great time there and would highly recommend a stop here even if you aren’t into whiskey. She has something for every taste and...
you will leave with a smile on your face.
The grounds are perfect for outdoor games and hanging out with friends or family. Or you can relax on one of the many seats on the wrap around porch. They also rent out cabins and a home if you prefer to extend your stay here.
Highly recommend the 1842 and the peach. Her best seller is the blackberry which taste great in the lemonade drink they sell. They also have great limited releases to keep you coming back for new great experiences.
Enjoyed every minute here. So welcoming and fun.
