Distillery Tour

A detour from the expected

Experience Willett Hospitality

From the moment you enter the estate, our unique tradition of hospitality is felt. Every patio is an extension of our family home. Original buildings once roamed by Thompson Willett himself, showcase the influence of each generation.

A tour at Willett Distillery is more like a gathering of family and close friends you may have just met. Set atop some of the highest land in Nelson County, we like to think of our distillery as a gathering place for kindred spirits.
