Alchemist Distiller

A perfect 5-star rating is rare enough to notice, and Alchemist Distiller has earned exactly that. This is an apple-based craft distillery, which already sets it apart from the usual grape-first Okanagan lineup, and the guided tastings walk you through gin, brandy, and herb liqueurs with real expertise behind every pour. It's weekends only, which somehow makes it feel more special rather than less convenient, like you have to plan for it on purpose. Summerland's orchard heritage shows up directly in the glass here, distilled rather than fermented. If you've tasted enough Okanagan wine for one trip, this is the palate cleanser you didn't know you needed. Worth planning your weekend around.
