From locally-farmed elements to our craft cocktail culture, the Reno Tahoe area provides the perfect ingredients for distilleries to be born and bred. Seven Troughs Distilling Co. is an example of a craft distillery that is standing out with its mid-century process of open fermentation in wooden hogshead barrels. A number of other Reno distilleries are also adding local flavor to traditional spirits, such as Yeti Jackalope Gin from Verdi Local Distillery and Biggest Little Bourbon from The Depot.
Area Distilleries
If you are a craft spirit connoisseur, or you are just looking to try something new, Nevada has some hidden gems. In Minden, about an hour drive south of Reno is the Minden Mill Distilling. Built in a 100-year-old flour mill, this distillery uses grains and materials grown on the ranch to create their spirits. If this is all sounding great to you, Bently Ranch hosts distillery tours Thursday through Sunday, and there’s a tasting room. Secondly, located east of Reno on a charming ranch in Fallon, Nevada, you will find a distillery with roots dating back more than a hundred years – Frey Ranch Estate Distillery. If Frey Ranch has you intrigued, they host tours every Saturday afternoon.
