Tours
General Tour
$10
General tours cost $10 per person, last about 45-75 minutes including the tasting, and spots can be reserved in advance by phone (847.574.2499), email (to visit (at) northshoredistillery.com) or by reserving your spot online. Space is limited, and sometimes they’re full or cancelled due to an event, so we strongly recommend planning ahead and reserving/booking.
Geek Out Tour
$35
This is a much more in-depth tour led entirely by the Master Distiller! It’s that chance to spend time with the resident expert, ask all your burning questions, and try a broader range of spirits, including some experimental ones. This version cost $35 per person and lasts a fair bit longer (depending on questions). Those spots must be reserved at least 48 hours in advance (there’s a lot of setup and prep for this version).
