Wonderland Distilling sits in a 3,000 square foot facility on Lakeshore Drive in Muskegon, where founders David and Amy Vonk turned their home distilling hobby into Michigan’s craft spirits scene in 2015. David brings an engineering background to the distilling process, while Amy handles the business side, creating a husband-and-wife operation that’s become a cornerstone of Muskegon’s downtown revival. They started with a 250-gallon copper still and have grown into producing bourbon, rye, vodka, and gin, plus seasonal specialties that keep locals coming back. The Vonks didn’t stumble into distilling by accident—they spent years perfecting recipes at home before taking the leap into commercial production. David’s engineering mind shows in their methodical approach to mash bills and fermentation, while Amy’s attention to detail creates the welcoming tasting room experience. They’ve navigated Michigan’s evolving craft distillery laws, becoming one of the early adopters when regulations loosened to allow on-site sales and tastings. The result is a distillery that feels both professional and personal, where you’re likely to chat with the founders themselves during your visit. What you’ll find here is a no-nonsense operation focused on quality spirits and genuine hospitality. The tasting room has that comfortable neighborhood feel where regulars know the staff by name, but newcomers feel immediately welcome. They’ve built a following for their bourbon and rye, but their seasonal offerings—like their summer berry vodka—show they’re not afraid to experiment. It’s the kind of place that makes Muskegon feel more interesting than you might expect.
