We are driven to succeed in an emerging industry. As reflected in its name, J. Carver Distillery promises to feature distinct, local flavor in all aspects of its business. Artisanal Minnesota Craft Spirits will include Vodka, Gin, Bourbon, Rye, Whiskey, Brandy, Grappa, and Liqueurs. Join us for a tour and tasting.Our team

Wondering Time
This was my second time doing the tour and brought 7 other family members to do the tour as well. Very informational, everyone learned a great deal of how the distillery works. Doing the tour a second time I learned a great deal more than the first time. We will all return again. Each of us purchased a bottle and loved the sampling. Thank you for a fun Saturday family outing.

Great time!
I booked a tour/tasting for my husband's birthday and I can safely say this was his favorite stop of the day! The staff were accommodating, helpful, and made us feel welcome within the first minute of arriving. The drinks were fantastic and we ended up buying a bottle to take home with us. We will definitely be going back soon!

Amazing tour
This was an amazing experience. The facility is unique and lively, but the tour was the best part. Our tour guide was the actual distiller, and he was a wealth of information and very friendly. His passion for making a high quality, grain to glass product was shown at every step of the tour. Hands down, this is the best distillery in the state. We will be back for sure.

Tour
Along with my wife and another couple, we did the tour this past Friday night. Having never been before, we were very impressed with the facility, the cleanliness, and all of the folks working there. FNG (can't remember his real name) gave a great tour. The cocktails and samples were all delicious! We had a great time and will definitely be back!

Tour and Tasting
Highly recommend the tour and tasting! Todd did a great job sharing the distilling process and history. We especially liked that J. Carver uses Minnesota resources, with very little waste and a focus on sustainability.

Look forward to seeing you again!
You are definitely on the short lost of places to go when we have out-of-town guest! The tour was excellent. Everybody you meet from the distillery either owns part or is directly related. Great informative tour and ample samples. Asks as many questions as you like, they are happy to share. Every spirit has a story...

Fabulous!
First time to J. Carver and we'll definitely be back! The tour was terrific; very fun and informative. The products are unique and delicious, and the cocktails are out of this world (AMAZING bartender!). All of the staff were terrific! It was great having a food truck there and snack options, as well. Had a great evening with friends and can't wait to go back!
