The fruit flavored wines aren't overly sweet but authentic. The pineapple is from Hawaiianjuice extracts and the blueberry and cranberry wines are from Oregon and Washington fruits. Love them.

After hearing about Valley Shine at our inn, my wife and I knew that this was going to be a stop on our long weekend in La Conner. We ended up spending an enjoyable two hours here, sipping some good spirits, eating pub food and chatting with the bartenders about the booze. We started with a flight of the spirits on offer, and slowly made our way through the selections. Our favorites were the more uncommon ones: the toffee liquor and the limoncello. While we did enjoy the more common spirits we sampled (gin, vodka, rum, bourbon), we have plenty of those at home, so we opted to to take home two of the more interesting products. The bartender was super helpful in explaining each of the spirits to us and checking in our tasting as it progressed. As we sipped, our food arrived, and it was plenty and tasty: I ordered a huge brisket sandwich, which came with a side of chips, and my wife got a salad with a "side" of cheese bread, which turned out to be four huge slices of a French loaf smothered in mozzarella: practically a meal in itself. Our food was good pub grub, and we'd return just to sample more of the menu. There is a couple of nice racks on the wall offering a good variety of alcohol-related products, such as cocktail books, gift sets, glasses, cocktail paraphernalia, and Valley Shine clothing products. The distillery/bar was small (maybe six or eight tables plus the bar, where we sat), so maybe phone ahead if you have a large group. We'll definitely be back when we are in the area again.
