The family-owned business describes itself as a small “grain-to-glass” distillery, and is part of the Texas Whiskey Trail. They have received many awards, including two gold medals at the 2020 SIP Awards for two products, Cask Strength Straight Bourbon and Texas Rye Malt Whiskey.

The first batch of whiskey actually produced in Palestine will arrive before Thanksgiving just in time for the Whiskey & Wine Swirl.

The Grapevine distillery moved to Palestine when looking for a venue that would provide for growth, allowing them to build an outdoor stage for entertainment as well as tours and product tastings on site. The company chose the former Coors plant property in Palestine.
