Tours, tastings, and hands-on Experiences

Earl Giles isn't just a place to eat and drink. It's a working distillery, a production facility and a flavor laboratory, and we love showing people how it all works. Our experiences give you access to the spaces, the people and the processes behind everything we make.

Whether you're a cocktail obsessive, a curious beginner or just looking for something different to do in Minneapolis, there's an experience here for you.

Distillery tour

See how it's made

Explore our 18,000 sq ft facility, from the copper Vendome pot still and the canning line to the Drinks Apothecary and the plant-filled restaurant floor. Learn how we make our spirits, syrups and THC beverages, and taste some of our favorites straight from the source. Led by a member of our production team, tours cover the full journey from raw ingredients to finished product.

Group tours are available on weekends. Private tours can be arranged for groups by appointment.
