ABOUT THIS DISTILLERY

Up North Distillery sits in Post Falls, Idaho, bringing craft spirits to the Idaho Panhandle since opening their doors. Founded by local entrepreneurs who saw an opportunity to create quality spirits in northern Idaho, they’ve built their operation around small-batch production and local community connections. The distillery operates both as a production facility and retail location, offering visitors a chance to see spirits being made while browsing their selection of craft bottles. You’ll find them in a straightforward industrial space that prioritizes function over flash, focusing their energy on what’s in the bottles rather than elaborate tasting room aesthetics. They produce vodka, gin, and whiskey using traditional distillation methods, aiming to establish themselves as northern Idaho’s go-to craft distillery. The operation reflects the no-nonsense approach you’d expect from this part of the country—honest spirits made by people who care more about the product than the presentation.

WHAT SETS THEM APART

Up North Distillery represents something fairly rare in northern Idaho—a local distillery bringing craft spirits production to an area that hasn’t traditionally been known for distilling. Their location in Post Falls puts them in the scenic Idaho Panhandle, where they’re working to establish a craft spirits presence in a region better known for outdoor recreation. They’ve taken a practical approach to their operation, combining production with retail sales in a way that makes their spirits accessible to locals and visitors exploring the area between Spokane and Coeur d’Alene.

THE VISITOR EXPERIENCE

The experience at Up North Distillery is straightforward and unpretentious. You’ll walk into a combination production facility and liquor store where you can see the distilling operation while browsing their selection of spirits. The atmosphere is more industrial than polished, which gives you an authentic look at small-scale distilling without the tourist theater. Staff members are typically hands-on with the operation and can explain their processes while helping you select bottles to take home.

IS IT WORTH VISITING

If you’re exploring the Post Falls area and interested in supporting local craft spirits, Up North Distillery offers a genuine small-operation experience. This isn’t a destination distillery with elaborate tours and fancy tasting rooms, but it’s worth a stop if you’re curious about northern Idaho’s emerging craft spirits scene. You’ll get a real look at small-batch distilling and can support a local business that’s working to bring something new to the area. Set your expectations for a working distillery rather than a tourist attraction, and you’ll appreciate what they’re building here.

⚠️ VISITING TIPS

Call ahead before visiting since hours can vary with production schedules and seasonal changes. The location is easy to find on North Boulder Court, with straightforward parking available. If you’re interested in their production process, ask about timing your visit when they’re actively distilling—you’ll get a much better sense of their operation. Focus on trying their core spirits to understand what they do best, and don’t expect an elaborate tasting room experience. This is more about supporting local craft distilling and taking home quality bottles than about spending an afternoon touring facilities.
