Las Vegas Distillery

Fun tour. I learned a lot. Sid spent a lot of time with us. I found some great and unique liquors. I wish them great success.

You know when there are awesome people doing an awesome thing and you want them to be successful? That’s how I felt the first time I ventured in here. This place is the whole package. The guys here are nice people that you wouldn’t mind having a drink with. The spirits are great tasting and not for the weak. I love the story behind how George started the Distillery as well.
I’ve done the tour twice. I enjoyed it enough to bring back my brother and his friends when they were in town. The tour is about 45 minutes and ends with a tasting of any and all spirits that you desire. The passion that these guys have for their craft shines through in their tour and tastings. They have a shop as well so you can purchase anything you enjoyed enough to take home.
My husband and I purchased the Nevada 150 Bourbon Whiskey when it was released and had the pleasure of meeting George. Seriously, he is such a kind, humble man. He made us feel more like we were joining the Las Vegas Distillery family than just purchasing a bottle of Bourbon.
I love to see local businesses that love being part of the community and are giving it their all. The product and the people are top notch.

George is so passionate about what he does and works very hard to make his products the best they can be. He shares the story about how he got where he is and you feel an instant connection. He explains the distilling process from start to finish and makes the entire tour an enjoyable experience. He takes the time to really get to know his visitors and you leave feeling just as much pride in his products as he does. This is a must-​visit when you’re in Las Vegas!

Great! had a fundraiser event there– George is very accomodating. All products are of very good quality — being distilled on premises and very short transportation distance.
Favorites:
— moonshine. drink by the drop — the aromas expode, so a small bit. a VERY small taste is suggested. Try and shoot this? You better have grown up on «mash» before you attempt a whole swig. Would make a devastating jungle juice.
— 7 grain vodka. clean, flavorful.

Neat place! I’ve been on two tours now, and I learned something different each time. The tours are mainly the large distilling room. The best part is the tasting at the end!
The guys are all very nice and knowledgable about what they are doing. The owner takes immense pride in his community support — he has a wall dedicated to it. Good tour — even better if your 21+

Need some education with your booze? Of course you do!
We had a great time learning from George and hearing the great story of how he went from sailing on the Danube to opening up the first distillery in Nevada. He is charming, smart and entertaining not to mention very hospitable. He actually came in special after the 4^th of July conduct our tour.
There was a huge selection of gin, whiskeys, vodkas and moonshines for our tastings. George was happy to let us try them all although we wisely stopped at around 6. We took home some apple pie moonshine (also available at local Costcos), wheat whiskey, 7 grain whiskey and a bottle gin. I am completely in love with their gin. George uses prickly pear as part of his botanical mix, and it gives the gin a lovely flavor.
We hope to come back for the release of the single malt whiskey this winter. Without a doubt, we’ll be coming here to stock up any time we come to Vegas.

Wonderful place to learn about how the whiskey can be appreciated and enjoyed… keep up the good and work and provide great service to our locals and tourists alike…

Who knew there was a booze district in Henderson? Watch out Ireland and Tennessee. Las Vegas Distillery is about to put Nevada on the map!
The Las Vegas Distillery is a one-​of-​a-​kind spot in the desert. The setup is eye-​catching from the column stills to the bar and gift shop. The owner, George, is an entertaining guy from Eastern Europe who will drop some serious liquor knowledge on you. Most impressive was his hard work and persistence to chase the American dream and build this distillery from the ground up.
If you have some time, the $ 15 tour and tasting is worth it. Lasting about an hour, George took us through the process of making different types of distilled alcohols including vodka, gin, rum, and of course whisky. You get a chance to taste every type of alcohol produced on-​site. Everyone had a great time and George made this one of the most memorable stops for my buddy on his bachelor party weekend.

My boyfriend and I went there and took the tour. We had a wonderful time, place was amazing, and staff was awesome!!! We are definitely going back for the distilling class and bringing all our friends.
This gem of a place is a MUST do!

Incredibly impressive set up just outside of the main area of Las Vegas. The tours are an awesome way to get to know your whiskey better, but even if you can’t do a tour just go check this place out!
The people working are awesome, the whiskey is tasty, and there is a liquor store attached, what else could you want… a couple breweries and a place to make your own wine you say? Well your in luck, this city block of booze paradise has all of the above!

I found out about this place by accident, and I’m really glad I did. I brought my boyfriend here as a surprise because he enjoys beer and spirits, but also a farm-​to-​table approach. I love that Las Vegas Distillery has a farm-​to-​bottle thing going on, where a majority of the grain used to produce the stuff is grown within the state.
Sid was our tour guide and he’s such a great guy. He was lively, knowledgeable about all the product, and you can tell he has a passion for what he’s doing. He let us sample some of the things they were making and one of the things that won me over was the gin. I’m am NOT a gin drinker at all. But what they had was different, more floral and refreshing. He mentioned it would go well with a lemonade and I can’t wait to buy a bottle and see how that works out.
The tour shows how everything starts out and ends with them bottling some product. It also has some Nevada history, which is a plus.
I would definitely go back again, it was a great experience.

I like to support local businesses, especially ones that make whiskey. It’s located at the «Booze District» where the local breweries and wineries are expanding.
The tours are very informative. The best part was being able to try the whiskeys, vodkas, and moonshine that they make.
I am a fan of the Nevada Whiskey, but my favorite is Grandma’s Apple Pie Moonshine. It’s a little bit on the strong side, with a hint of sweetness to it.
If you have friends from out of town that want to venture off the strip, this is a great place to go.

I came here on a group tour and I was incredibly impressed with the set up. I learned a lot from the owner George about the different spirits. Grandmas moonshine was a favorite in our group. The most amazing product in my opinion is the bourbon. Aged only a few years, it tasted better than some of the top shelf bourbons I have tried.
If you follow them on social media, you will see the sales and information about the new products.

Super place. We got the tour while visiting Las Vegas and it was as entertaining as educational. The Grandma’s Moonshine is delicious but watch out, it is also strong.
We have tasted lots of spirits and it was truly a great place to see.

Great group of guys at the Las Vegas Distillery. W food a guided tour and he was very friendly and informative. Even if you don’t know anything about the distilling process you will leave understanding the basics! Great history on the laws and process they’ve been through since opening!
Good luck guys!

It’s refreshing to meet someone who is passionate and dedicated to his work ie the owner named George who gave us the tour. I came here with 5 friends and we learned a lot on this tour of the distilleration process. The story of how he and his family overcame the odds and ends of opening the first distillery in the «drinking capital of the world» was fascinating. After the tour comes the tastings. from homemade whiskeys, bourbon, vodka, rum and their all time clients favorite Grandma’s apple pie. If you are a fan of distilled spirits then this is the place for you! I can’t wait to come back for the Chocolate makery tour & tastings coming soon.

Now this is a must see for any Vegas trip! An exciting young distillery, with several creative offerings. This is clearly a group who enjoy their craft. If you are looking for a same same beverage this is not the place for you, I recommend you stick to the larger brand names. However if you know the pleasure of experiencing a creatively produced drink by someone who truly has a passion for the craft then this is a great spot.
Personally I am a fan of wheat heavy whiskey so I was a fan of the whiskey as well as their new bourbon and pleasantly surprised by the Nevada Vodka, as well as the Nevada Gin. Don’t tell my whiskey but the Gin was good enough to enjoy a glass on the rocks with a shot of lime. And don’t forget a slice of Grandma’s Apple Pie for desert, well done guys!!!
This was my most enjoyable day in Vegas, given how many new things they are trying I can’t wait to check in on my next trip to Vegas, beats pulling handles any day!!!

Sooo Cool!!! Found this place after they were sampling product line at my local Smith’s. Then they came HIGHLY recommended while at Total Wine & More. We decided to drive on over, really close actually. Just walked in and one of the guys welcomed us right away and said he’d be starting a tour in a few minutes, WOW. It ended up being a few of us and he walked us around the warehouse. What a cool operation they’ve got going on here and what a story!!!
We just restocked our liquor shelf and bought all «non mainstream» stuff. We have these guys’ Vodka/Gin/Gma’s apple pie.
Very cool and the first «legal» distillery in Nevada. Keep up the good work!
Ignore the 2 star review. Obviously that person doesn’t appreciate the hard work that is going into this small business. Don’t get me wrong, Hendricks Gin is amazeballs but the Gin from Las Vegas Distillery has it own special flavor just as does Hendricks… don’t hate on a place just because your taste buds can’t handle what real Vodka should taste like.

A true gem in the dessert. Located in a small business park, from the outside you’d never know the inside holds the only artisan liqour distillery in Vegas. I attended the first official group tour of the distillery, as they just recently got government approval to give tastings on site as well as sell their product.
I encourage you to take a tour to hear the amazing story of how the Racz family overcame the odds and started the first and only liquor distillery in the drinking capital of the world. As you can imagine the large liquor businesses, do not want local competition. Although founded in 2008, they first were not able to sell their product. But through friendships, networking and passion, George Racz and his wife have been able to pass legislation in Nevada that will open the doors for others to do the same. The owner George Racz and his family moved here from Transylvania and he’ll joke that the reason they’re not open in the evening because they are out sucking blood.
During your free tour you are shown around by George himself. He will tell you his story as well as how all of the liquor is made. Buying their grains locally from Winnamucca Farms, they truly believe in Buying Locally, Drinking Locally. They make their spirits in small batches and bottle them by hand! You are able to taste any or all of their homemade products: from Whiskey, to Bourbon, to Vodka, to Moonshine, to Rum, to their own concoction — Rumskey (Rum and Whiskey mix). My all time favorite was Grandma’s Apple Pie Moonshine — which isn’t even available for purchase yet, as they’d been waiting on labeling approval. We were told 3 weeks and we should be able to pick up a bottle or 4 (yes it was that good!) They are also working on a recipe for Grandpa’s Smoked Moonshine, I can’t wait for that one too!
You can now purchase bottles of your favorites in various sizes while on your tour, and they even have discounted prices for bottle refills — amazing concept! If you want a T-​shirt, they have them there too, you’ll love their logo. I love supporting local businesses, I truly hope they thrive here.
Beginning October 5^th they will be hosting classes on site: everything from making and barreling your own whiskey, to mixology lessons. I will definitely be signing up! Come out and visit (check out their website for tour dates and times), you won’t be disappointed!

My first visit was for the re-​opening after the Distillery closed for renovations. We got there just in time to join the first tour. The owner/​distiller George is passionate about this place, and it’s an informative tour. We enjoyed the samples, and all the liquor is for sale on-​premise. They also sell shirts. This is a great place to bring visitors for a unique Vegas (actually Henderson) experience.
They should name one of their liquors «Hendertucky» moonshine.
