We didn't get to take the tour, but stopped in for the restaurant and gift shop. Beautiful grounds. Super friendly serving staff. The food (small plates and dessert) was tremendous. Great cocktails. Can't wait to take a tour next time we are nearby.

I didnt do a tour so I only experienced the restaurant and a flight of their bourbons there. The restaurant was seriously lacking if you are looking for an actual meal. This is more of a little bites and pick as you talk type food place. The ambience was very nice and the kitchen is right there beside you so you can see everything that is going on. This would be a nice spot if you have already eaten and are just looking for a place with a cool vibe and little bites to snack on.

Go, simply go. It's the best distillery tour and tasting I've been to. The tour is informative and it has bourbon throughout. The bar has great food as well, it's appetizer style, but delicious. Last and most importantly, the single barrel "Purple top" bourbons in the bar. They are unlike anything I tasted in the rest of distilleries They are expensive, but it's the quality and flavor that the entire rest of the industry should be pouring on their tours. It's not even close, Willet wins by a mile.

Stopped off here for lunch. Didnt book a tasting in advance but was able to order a flight at lunch. Very charming atmosphere with great character. Everyone was extremely friendly as well. Lunch was very good with small plates good for sharing . Even entrees were small but was enough for everyone to try. Salad was a good size. Trout dip was excellent (make sure to ask fir more crackers) and the minute steak very tasty. The chicken thigh was just ok and not my favorite. The server, Matthew was lively and did a great job making sure everyone was having fun and taken care of. Will definitely go back!

Questions & Answers

Will the distillery be open for tours on Presidents’ Day? February 17? I tried to call the visitor center but all I got was a message.

FYI this a Google user forum, not a direct link to business owners Your best bet is to email/call directly Did you try to book online? All of their tours are online so if you don't see it as an option than the answer is no, it's not open I just looked online and it looks like they're not even open in general this month on Mondays...

What time do they open the gate?

Let me call someone later this morning and I'll get back to you a d let you know

I bought 2 older bottles last year to auction off for Lab Rescue of Northern Ky and Cincinnati. The auction was very profitable. I will be at Willett tomorrow and would again like to buy a few bottles for auction. Thanks so much. Dr. Todd Phillips

Is this a question?

Is there a charge for tours?

Yes, and they can book up during busy times. Tastings are free if you don't have time for a full tour.
