Old Nick Williams Co. Farm & Distillery sits on a working farm along Williams Road in Lewisville, North Carolina, about 30 minutes from Winston-Salem. Founded by Nick Williams, this small-scale operation combines traditional farming with craft distilling, producing whiskey and moonshine in a rustic farm setting. The distillery opened in the mid-2010s as Williams looked to diversify his agricultural operations and tap into North Carolina’s growing craft spirits scene. Williams brings a farmer’s approach to distilling, emphasizing locally-sourced grains and traditional methods. The operation runs out of converted farm buildings on the family property, where you can see the connection between field and bottle. They focus primarily on whiskey and moonshine production, keeping batch sizes small and maintaining hands-on control over every step of the process. Visitors get an authentic farm distillery experience here – this isn’t a polished tourist destination but rather a working operation where you can meet the people actually making the spirits. The setting feels genuinely rural, with the kind of unpretentious atmosphere that makes you want to stick around and chat about the craft. It’s the type of place where the owner might give you the tour himself.
