ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Mountain Moonshine Goes Perfectly Legal

MannCave Distilling sits on Left Millstone Road in Weston, West Virginia, a small town tucked into the hills of Lewis County. Founded by Mark Mann, this craft distillery opened its doors with a focus on small-batch spirits that reflect the mountainous character of central West Virginia. The operation produces vodka, whiskey, and moonshine from their facility, which serves as both production space and tasting room for visitors looking to sample locally-made spirits. Mann brought his vision of craft distilling to a region where moonshine has deep historical roots, but legal distilling was largely absent. The distillery represents part of West Virginia’s growing craft spirits movement, with Mann working to establish quality production standards while honoring traditional Appalachian distilling heritage. The team focuses on hands-on production methods, with Mann overseeing operations from grain to bottle. Visitors can experience both the production side and finished products in a setting that feels authentically West Virginian. The distillery offers tastings of their core lineup and provides insight into how small-batch spirits are made in the Mountain State. It’s a straightforward operation where you can meet the people making the spirits and understand their approach to craft distilling in rural West Virginia.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Appalachian Heritage Meets Modern Standards

MannCave operates in Weston, a town of fewer than 4,000 people, making it one of the more remote craft distilleries in West Virginia’s emerging spirits scene. The location puts it in the heart of Appalachian moonshine country, where illegal distilling has centuries of history but legal operations are relatively new. Mark Mann’s approach focuses on bringing legitimate craft distilling to an area where the knowledge and appreciation for spirits runs deep culturally, but the legal infrastructure for craft distilling is still developing. This creates an interesting dynamic where traditional mountain distilling wisdom meets modern craft production standards.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

Meet the Man Behind Every Bottle

You’ll visit a working distillery where production happens on-site and Mark Mann or his team can walk you through their process. The facility combines production equipment with a tasting area, giving you a direct look at how their spirits move from raw materials to finished products. Tastings include their vodka, whiskey, and moonshine varieties, with explanations of how each is produced and what makes them distinct. The atmosphere is casual and educational, with the kind of personal attention you get at smaller operations where the owner is usually present.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

Remote but Worth The Mountain Drive

If you’re interested in West Virginia’s craft distilling scene or want to understand how small-batch spirits are made in Appalachian communities, this is worth the drive to Weston. You’ll get genuine insight into craft distilling operations and taste spirits made by people who are passionate about the process. The experience won’t compare to larger, more polished distillery destinations, but it offers authenticity and personal connection that bigger operations can’t match. It’s particularly appealing if you appreciate supporting local craft producers and want to understand how distilling fits into West Virginia’s cultural landscape.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead before visiting since this is a smaller operation with variable hours and Mark Mann may not always be available for impromptu visits. Weston is about an hour south of Morgantown and an hour northeast of Charleston, so plan your route accordingly as GPS can be unreliable in this rural area. Ask about their different moonshine varieties during tastings, as this is where their Appalachian heritage really shows through. If you’re interested in the production process, time your visit when they’re actually distilling so you can see the equipment in operation.
