Small-batch craft distillery—gin, bourbon, and whiskey tastings (weekends).
California Distilled Spirits is described as Placer County's only working distillery, a small-batch operation in Auburn founded with a vision of blending innovation with classic techniques and quality ingredients. The lineup spans bourbon, whiskeys, gins and brandies, with the award-winning Darjeeling Gin among its signature releases, and visitors can now sample fine whiskey poured right from the barrels. Tastings take place in an intimate, hands-on setting that lets guests sip and savor across the range while learning about the craft. For spirits enthusiasts touring the region's wineries and breweries, the distillery offers a distinctive change of pace and a rare chance to taste locally made craft spirits at their source. Tasting hours are limited, so visitors should plan accordingly.
