Additional Information

While the majority of distillery tours simply offer fancy-tasting samples accompanied by a short viewing of the equipment, overseen by someone with minimal knowledge of their products or their production process, Ferino Distillery promises a distinct experience. Whether the tour is conducted by the owner and master distiller, Joe Cannella, or a highly-trained member of our team, it promises a close and personal journey exploring the interplay between Cannella’s family heritage and the age-old traditions of spirit-flavoring in Southern Italy. In essence, this isn’t your run-of-the-mill vodka, gin, or whiskey distillery - come prepared for an adventure, and leave with lasting memories and potentially some bottled souvenirs!

Learned a lot about Italian Apéritif spirits. - Ferino is definitely a unique gem. It’s not just a typical distillery where they make exactly the same thing as every other distillery. We did the distillery tour and tasting flight which was hosted by Joe, the owner of the distillery. He focuses on making spirits that are inspired by his Italian heritage and you can taste the passion he puts into his craft. In addition to the spirits we tased as part of the tour, we had several cocktails at the bar. While there, we met one of the regulars who was a lot of fun to talk to. After the tour, tasting flight, and time at the bar, I have a much deeper appreciation of Italian Apéritif spirits and the art of making them.

Great experience! Highly recommended. - I used to think I was strictly a wine person and not a liqueur/cocktail person but a visit to Ferino Distillery made me change my mind! Amazing experience, very informative and fun, great drinks. I bought a bottle of each variety! Highly recommended.

Lots of fun - Wonderful time the distillery is small but the story is really good. It’s mostly hanging out and drinking a flight and listening to the story of the distillery but I really liked the story.
