Gypsy Distillery sits on Charlevoix Avenue in Petoskey, Michigan, bringing craft spirits to the heart of northern Michigan’s resort country. Founded by owners who wanted to create something distinctly local in an area better known for its lakefront tourism, this smaller-scale operation focuses on handcrafted spirits with a Michigan twist. The distillery opened its doors to offer both production and a tasting room experience, giving visitors a chance to sample locally-made spirits while learning about the distilling process. You’ll find them producing vodka, gin, and whiskey using traditional methods combined with local ingredients when possible. The operation maintains that craft distillery feel where you’re likely to meet the people who actually made what you’re drinking, rather than just sampling products from some distant facility.
