Spirits In The Caves: Distiller-Led Winter Experience
2026-01-23 23:30 - 2026-01-24 01:00 UTC | 31010 W 124th St, 10580 Mo O Hwy, Excelsior Springs, MO, United States
Join our distiller at Fence Stile Vineyards, Winery & Distillery for a cozy, beginner-friendly spirits tour.
Warm up underground this winter.
While the vines rest above, our caves and stills come to life with Spirits in the Caves – a small-group, distiller-led experience designed for curious beginners and spirits fans alike.
In this intimate 60–90 minute session, held in our private room, our distiller will walk you through how spirits are made here at Fence Stile, from mash to barrel:
How we start with molasses and fermentation to build flavor (rum)
How the still turns a low-alcohol wash into concentrated spirit
What heads, hearts, and tails are – and how careful cuts shape the final rum
How barrel aging and blending add color, texture, and depth
How all of that shows up in your glass
Along the way, you’ll enjoy guided tastings:
We’ll smell ingredients, talk through the still and aging barrels, and leave plenty of time for questions.
Take home the spirits glass and receive 10% off any spirit bottles!
⚠️ Please arrive a few minutes early for ticket validation
