Spirits in the Caves: Distiller-Led Winter Experience

Warm up underground this winter.
While the vines rest above, our caves and stills come to life with Spirits in the Caves – a small-group, distiller-led experience designed for curious beginners and spirits fans alike.

In this intimate 60–90 minute session, held seated in the cave, our distiller will walk you through how spirits are made here at Fence Stile, from mash to barrel:

• How we start with molasses and fermentation to build flavor (rum)
• How the still turns a low-alcohol wash into concentrated spirit
• What heads, hearts, and tails are – and how careful cuts shape the final rum
• How barrel aging and blending add color, texture, and depth
• How all of that shows up in your glass

Along the way, you’ll enjoy guided tastings:

We’ll smell ingredients, talk through the still and aging barrels, and leave plenty of time for questions – all by candlelight in the cave.
