Greensboro Distilling Company operates under the brand Fainting Goat Spirits at 115 W Lewis St in downtown Greensboro, North Carolina. Founded by Mark Tatum and his team, this craft distillery brings small-batch spirit production to the Triad area. The operation focuses on creating handcrafted spirits with attention to traditional distilling methods while embracing innovation in their approach to gin, rum, and other spirits.
The distillery takes its name from the Tennessee Fainting Goat, also known as the myotonic goat, which reflects the founders’ appreciation for unique Southern heritage and their commitment to creating spirits that stand out from the crowd. Tatum and his team built their operation from the ground up, installing copper stills and creating a production facility that serves both as a working distillery and a welcoming tasting room for visitors.
What you’ll find here is a genuine craft distillery experience where you can see the production process up close, taste spirits made on-site, and learn about the art of distillation from people who are passionate about their craft. The space combines the industrial elements of spirit production with a comfortable atmosphere for tastings and tours, making it an authentic introduction to North Carolina’s growing craft spirits scene.
