NOLA DISTILLERY, New Orleans

recently visited NOLA Distillery, and I honestly can’t say enough great things about it! I’m not a drinker at all — I actually don’t consume alcohol whatsoever — and yet I had the time of my life! This place isn’t just for people who enjoy spirits; it’s for anyone who appreciates great company, fascinating stories, and an all-around fun and welcoming atmosphere. From the moment we walked in, the vibe was friendly, lively, and inviting. Our tour guide was absolutely amazing — knowledgeable, entertaining, and clearly passionate about what they do. They made the entire experience engaging from start to finish, blending humor, history, and interesting insights about the distilling process in a way that kept everyone hooked. Even though I didn’t partake in any of the tastings, I still felt fully included and had such a great time learning about how everything is made. You can tell that a lot of pride and care goes into every detail at this distillery. The space itself is beautiful, with that perfect New Orleans charm that makes you feel right at home. The person I was with is a drinker, and he had an absolute blast sampling everything — he couldn’t stop raving about how smooth and flavorful the spirits were. It’s rare to find a place that caters equally well to both drinkers and non-drinkers, but NOLA Distillery really pulls it off. Whether you’re a spirits enthusiast or just looking for something fun and unique to do in New Orleans, I can’t recommend this place enough. The energy, the hospitality, and the overall experience were top-notch. I’d go back in a heartbeat!

This tour is a must when visiting New Orleans. I booked this as a part of my anniversary trip. The knowledge that Sam provided made me respect the distillery process.The frozen lavender lemon drink before the tour was a great start. If you didn't include a bottle with your tour after the tasting you will want to make a puchase I promise!

I had a great experience and learned a lot about the distillery process.

Order the lavender drink as a frozen dessert.
