ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Stoneyard Distillery’s Glenwood Springs tasting room sits right on Grand Avenue, bringing Colorado-made spirits to the heart of this mountain resort town. The original distillery launched in 2015 in Dotsero, about 30 minutes down the Colorado River, founded by John McFarlane who left his career in construction to chase his passion for craft spirits. The Glenwood Springs location opened as a satellite tasting room, giving visitors a chance to sample their lineup without the drive to the main production facility. The space showcases their full range of spirits in a relaxed setting that captures the Colorado mountain vibe. You’ll find their bourbon, whiskey, and specialty spirits here, all made with Rocky Mountain water and a commitment to small-batch production. The tasting room serves as both a retail outlet and introduction to what they’re creating up valley, with knowledgeable staff who can walk you through their process and philosophy. It’s essentially their urban outpost, making their spirits accessible to the steady stream of tourists and locals who frequent downtown Glenwood Springs.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

This is primarily a tasting room rather than a full production facility, which makes it unique among Colorado distillery visits. You’re getting the crafted spirits experience without the industrial tour component, allowing you to focus entirely on the flavors and stories behind each bottle. The location puts craft Colorado spirits right in the middle of Glenwood’s tourist corridor, making it one of the most accessible distillery experiences in the area. Their spirits showcase the character of western Colorado terroir, using Rocky Mountain water and focusing on expressions that reflect their high-altitude environment.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

You’ll step into a welcoming tasting room where the focus is entirely on the spirits rather than production equipment. The staff knows their products well and can guide you through tastings that highlight the differences between their various expressions. The atmosphere is relaxed and conversational, perfect for learning about Colorado distilling without feeling rushed. You can sample their range, ask questions about their process, and pick up bottles to take home. The experience feels more like visiting a well-curated spirits shop with expert guidance than a typical distillery tour.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

If you’re exploring downtown Glenwood Springs and want to sample local spirits, this is definitely worth a stop. It’s perfect for folks who appreciate craft distilling but might not have time for a full production facility visit. The convenience factor is huge here – you can easily combine it with other downtown activities. However, if you’re specifically seeking the full distillery experience with tours of stills and barrel rooms, you’ll want to visit their main Dotsero facility instead. This location is ideal for casual spirits enthusiasts and anyone wanting to support local Colorado distilling.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

The tasting room is right on Grand Avenue, so parking can be typical downtown touristy – plan accordingly or walk if you’re staying nearby. Since it’s a tasting room rather than a production facility, hours tend to be more retail-friendly, but definitely call ahead to confirm they’re open. Ask about their different expressions and what makes each unique – the staff really knows their stuff. If you’re planning to visit the main distillery in Dotsero as well, this makes a good introduction to help you decide what to focus on during a production tour.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Stoneyard Distillery Tasting Room — Visitor FAQ

Is this the actual distillery where spirits are made?
No, this is a tasting room for Stoneyard Distillery. The actual production happens at their main facility in Dotsero, about 30 minutes away. Here you can taste and purchase their spirits, but production tours happen at the Dotsero location.
Can I visit without a reservation?
Yes, this is a walk-in tasting room rather than a tour-based experience. However, it’s always smart to call ahead during busy tourist seasons to make sure they’re open and not hosting private events.
What’s the difference between visiting here versus the main distillery?
Here you’ll focus purely on tasting and learning about their spirits in a retail environment. The main Dotsero facility offers production tours where you can see stills, barrels, and the actual distilling process. Both have their appeal depending on what kind of experience you’re after.
