Stop in during regular tasting room hours to try the release. Our bar team will be featuring food and cocktail specials built around the Eau de Vie. Bottles available for purchase on-site.

We are excited to release a brand new spirit, Breakfast Bourbon. This unique liquid begins with our signature straight bourbon, aged in American oak, then finished in barrels that once held our house made coffee liqueur. To complete the experience, we add just a touch more that rich coffee liqueur, creating a bourbon with unparalleled depth and character, layered with roasted coffee, dark chocolate and hints of vanilla.

To pair with this new spirit, will also be offering a special breakfast menu all day long consisting of breakfast pizzas and sandwiches, biscuits and gravy and more!

For the kids, we will be offering FREE s’mores all day long.

Live Music all day, with Wixom Flats kicking things off for lunch and Drew & Tate wrapping up during dinner hours.
