Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

Part of George Washington’s Mount Vernon Estate, the distillery and gristmill have been faithfully recreated and are fully functioning. Entrepreneurs will be impressed by Washington’s business sense, and whisky lovers will enjoy the small batch spirits that are available at the Shops at Mount Vernon and the Inn at Mount Vernon. Visits to the distillery and gristmill are included in the general admission price for the estate, but guests will need to take a shuttle from the mansion and gardens, as the buildings are strategically located almost 3 miles from the main entrance. The distillery and gristmill are open daily from April through October.
