    Short on Time? Still Worth the Stop! Take a Quick Tour

    Not every visit needs a full tour — but it should still be memorable.

    Join us on Fridays and Saturdays during open hours for a more casual, drop-in tasting experience designed to fit your schedule.

    Choose your own adventure:

    1. Discover the Spirits Perfected by Science
      Explore our lineup of vodka and award-winning Conniption gins, and learn what makes our process and flavor approach different.
    2. Treat Yourself to Real Indulgence
      Dive into indulgence with Damn Fine Vodka, Damn Fine Liqueurs, and Krupnikas — rich, expressive, and made to savor.

    Either option is one flat price. $15 per person. No reservations required.

    Just stop in! Because even a quick visit should feel like something special.

    FAQs

    We warmly welcome you to our distillery, and eagerly anticipate your visit. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns, as we are more than happy to provide assistance.

    Can I enjoy a cocktail at your distillery?

    You sure can! Conniption Bar & Lounge is a full cocktail bar, with a full range of spirits, beer and wine.
    Do You have a Gift Shop?

    Stop in during our open hours to purchase that special gift, for you or someone else. Our retail shop has a lot of options including cocktail shakers, bitters, cocktail glasses, mixing glasses, shirts, hats, tonic - and much more!

    You can also search for an item in our Shop for Pickup online store!
    What Happened to Your Parking Lot?

    It's all about progress in downtown Durham. Usually, we're all for it but unfortunately our shared parking lot with Blue Note Grill was sacrificed in the process. We do have a parking lot that is set aside for our use but it is about a block away on the corner of Washington Street and Corporation.

    If you prefer to keep walking to a minimum, the options are:

    1. On street parking. It's hard to know how many will be open but the earlier in the day to evening on the weekends is usually ok.
    2. Scooters!
    3. Rideshare.
    Is the distillery pet-friendly?

    While we love our four-legged friends and all of us are dog or cat owners here, it's just not possible for them to be in the distillery. We always allow service dogs.
    Do You Offer Private Tours or Cocktail Classes?

    Yes! Check out more information on our Private Tours and Event Space in our Juniper Room!
    Can I Book the Juniper Room or Conniption Bar & Lounge for a Special Event?

    You sure can! Send us an email to info@durhamdistillery.com and we will be happy to assist.
