Connecticut Craft Distilleries to Tour & Taste

Photo: Hartford Flavor Company, Hartford

Every season is the perfect time to come out and discover Connecticut’s growing number of craft distilleries, which are turning heads and winning awards from those in the know. Even more exciting, some of these distillers offer on-site tours & tasting experiences, like vineyards & breweries do. Be sure to visit the places that are already crafting a name for themselves.

Taste Award-Winning Liqueurs

Hartford Flavor Company, Hartford
The Hartford Flavor Company’s award-winning Wild Moon Liqueurs are a ground-breaking line of all-natural, botanically-infused liqueurs, unlike anything else currently on the market. Their Birch flavor has been named among a 50-state lineup of most unique spirits, while their Rose and Chai Spice flavors have won silver medals in New York World Spirits Competition. Located next door to Real Art Ways, Hartford’s cutting edge art and film destination, the Hartford Flavor Company makes its home in a restored manufacturing building where the first pay telephones were made. Today this innovative space houses not only the distillery, but several other artisans, craftsmen, and small businesses as well. 

Be sure to visit Hartford Flavor's new Cocktail Parlour on Pratt St, an urban retreat featuring creative libations, a curated farm-to-table menu, and a cozy game lounge; phones are discouraged to encourage enjoying the moment!
Don't forget reservations!
