Step Back in Time

Touring Spring Mill Distillery feels like wandering back in time. Exposed stone walls, glistening copper stills, and towering washbacks made with all-Canadian wood.


While it may feel like you’ve travelled back in time, what you’re seeing is new. It begins with a restored mill that captures the enduring spirit of a family who first created a distillery in 1836 in Niagara, Ontario - and ends with a stop at our on-site Ward Bar.


“Had a wonderful first visit to the distillery last night! Friends invited us on a tour they had booked and we had the best time! Rebecca, our tour guide was so knowledgeable, friendly and fun! We thoroughly enjoyed the tasting experience and I would have bought bottles while there last night, but was headed to another bar after. Will be back to purchase some items, and for more drinks SOON!”
