Set to launch on May 22 to celebrate National Craft Distillery Day, the Ohio Distillery Trail will showcase the artistry, innovation, and dedication of the state’s distillers
The Ohio Distillers Guild just unveiled the highly anticipated Ohio Distillery Trail, an immersive experience that celebrates the rich heritage and craftsmanship of Ohio’s vibrant distilling community. This exciting venture promises to be a journey of discovery for spirits enthusiasts, connoisseurs, and curious minds alike. The Ohio Distillery Trail will launch with at least 24 member distilleries, with plans to add more stops in the near future.
Scheduled to launch on Wednesday, May 22, National Craft Distillery Day, the Ohio Distillery Trail will showcase the artistry, innovation, and dedication of the state’s distillers, bringing together a diverse array of unique spirits, from time-honored classics to cutting-edge creations.
The trail invites visitors to embark on an unforgettable exploration of Ohio’s distilling landscape, offering an insider’s look into the craft and passion behind each bottle.
Visitors can look forward to an array of distillery experiences, from guided tours and tastings to hands-on workshops, providing an up-close and personal encounter with the distillation process.
As part of the trail, participants will receive an exclusive passport to check in at each distillery they visit. Points can be earned and redeemed for prizes.
The Ohio Distillery Trail is a celebration of the exceptional craftsmanship and innovation within our state’s distilling community. Ohio distilleries make international award-winning whiskey, rum, gin, vodka, and more. The trail is an invitation for everyone to discover the passion and dedication that go into creating each unique spirit. We believe this trail will become a must-visit destination for spirits enthusiasts across the country and a testament to Ohio’s position as a hub for craft distillation.
