Located in the heart of downtown Fernie, Fernie Distillers is an award-winning small-batch distillery and cocktail bar known for its handcrafted spirits and welcoming ambience.
Each batch is produced with care using age-old techniques and premium ingredients, resulting in distinctive creations like No. 9 Mine Vodka and Fernie Fog Liqueur.
The distillery’s intimate tasting room and patio make it a favourite gathering place for locals and visitors alike. Guests can sip signature cocktails, enjoy the relaxed atmosphere, and even bring their own food from local restaurants thanks to Fernie Distillers’ popular “picnic policy.”
With space for up to 50 guests, the venue is also ideal for corporate events, celebrations, and weddings, offering a unique blend of rustic elegance and modern hospitality.
Visitors can deepen their experience with guided distillery tours, where they’ll learn about the craft of spirit-making from one of the few female distillers in the industry. Tours must be booked in advance.
