Dry Diggings Distillery - El Dorado Hills, California

The one star must have been a competitive company. There is no way anyone could give this place anything but a 5 star rating. Especially after your experience all that they have to offer. Their selections are top shelf incredible. Their staff are amazing. Especially that Ryan Racz guy. He helped me with making my first selection. Delicious Rye. That other gal was the absolute best. Erica. About the same age as that Ryan character. Can't help but smile when in conversation with her. If you want amazing product at amazing process from an amazing company staffed by amazing people, this is the place to go. Thank you for all that you do and helping the community by making hand sanitizer when it was needed the most. God bless you!

Where do we start.. man this is an odd place. It looks like an industrial location that was renovated to look like a speakeasy. The bartender was nice enough, giving us 6 quarter shots for $40 ($20 per person for effectively 1 and a half shots of whisky). The biggest problem is that don’t have pricing on the tasting list. So you find a whisky that seems decent but when you get to the cash register you find out it’s insanely overpriced. We ended up liking the rubicon and the bourbon and ended up with a $180 tab for tasting plus two bottles (no tasting fees waived if you buy bottles, which isn’t common btw). We would never ever ever have purchased either of the bottles for the insane price they charged us. Overall, we aren’t coming back, and are surprised people choose their liquor over other competitors at their price point. Do not recommend unless you like subpar liquor at a premium price point

We did a guys event at Dry Diggings over the Holidays and had a fantastic time. About 15 of us went out there for the full tour and tasted the whiskey, bourbon, rye, brandy and also the vodka.

All the liquors are excellent. I think the stand out for us was the Rye. Everyone seemed to love it. Maybe its because it was the liquor we were most unfamiliar with? Also, the vodka was quite outstanding. An absolute must have. Smooth and just a slight hint of grape. (Its made from grapes which was something I didn't realize could be done.)

The proprietor Chris gave us a very fascinating tour of the distillery which included the science of liquor making, lots of interesting California history, and more. When you go be sure to have Chris tell you about where the actual bar in the facility is from.

Be sure to go in and check this place out. Throw a party there. Take a group. You will have a great time!

If you would like to experience a world class tasting with friendly & knowledgeable staff, give Dry Diggings Distillery a try!

The tasting room has been exquisitely decorated to take you back in time while you sip on some of the finest alcohol to ever touch your lips. The smooth & delicate flavors are incredible and can be appreciated by all levels of vodka, bourbon & whisky fans alike. In addition to the obvious tastings, their small tasting fee of just $10 also includes your very own Dry Diggings Distillery shot glass and a bottle of water to cleanse your palette.

While visiting their local tasting room, you can purchase food related items such as seasonings & marinades, candles, soaps, t-shirts/sweatshirts, bitters & more! I encourage each of you to experience a Dry Diggings Distillery tasting at least once – I guarantee you won’t be disappointed!

For a great fun filled couple of hours I would highly recommend that you go see Erica at Dry Diggings Distillery for everything you ever wanted to know about whiskey! Erica was fantastic and very knowledgeable as she led us through the distillery process and we then sampled some of their awesome whiskey. Thanks so much Erica for making this such a fun day!

So many varieties! Informative tour, great variety in tasting options. Something for everyone--vodka, gin, brandy, whiskey, and sometimes rum. Definitely going back to try the things I didn't get to on this trip
