Visited the store at PDX and our server was very informative. Tried the old fashioned drink and ended up buying a bottle and the carrot honey for the young man gave us the recipe.

5.0 based on 11 reviews
Spiritopia is a craft distillery specializing in liqueurs and our Bourbon Style Apple Brandy. Our free tours include viewing the tasting room, laboratory, fermentation area, and still room. Stop by and see how spirits are made. We also have a challenging room (like an escape room) where you have to save Spiritopia from evil spies from Dark Stellar Inc. Is your team up to the task? Tasting is free. You must be 21 for tasting, but kids are welcome with parents, especially for the puzzle room.

We stopped by and tasted their delicious ginger liqueur as well as several others (pomegranate, brandy, whisky, Wow!). I can't wait to try the strawberry rhubarb in the Spring! Everything tastes very fresh.

Local distillery specializing in producing organic spirits. We offer cocktails, food, and a relaxing atmosphere. Come on out and enjoy your craft spirits! We are a tiny bit hard to fine for the first timer. Make sure to follow the signs and you'll be good. Or just aim for the warehouse behind Arby's. You'll understand when you get here.

Their tasting room is nice and modern. There spirits are good if you like fruit infused vodkas but their original is pretty smooth. The prices for vodka is reasonable. That adult Lemonade with peach vodka is sweet and strong. They allow kids by the couch and give virgin lemonades

We just visited the Freeland Spirits establishment this past weekend and had a delightful time. We arranged to take a guided tour of the on site distillery operations, followed by a sampling of their current distilled spirits. We were impressed by the spirits, the tour, the service, and the vision of a new distillery. A woman owned business, they specialize in excellent gin and bourbon production, with both tasting, light meals, and product sales available. The tour lasted about 45 minutes, and was exceptional in how it was led, the information provided, knowledge of the staff (Kacee), and overall organization. After the tour, we were able to sample a selection of their spirits, which resulted in our purchasing some bottles to take home. All in all, Freeland Spirits offers an excellent tour, outstanding service, and fine spirits. An excellent start to a relatively new distiller making a name in the Pacific Northwest. We will be back!

First, let me tell you that the whiskey is amazing ( and I am very picky about my whiskey)! That’s reason number one to check it out. If you don’t like whiskey they also have plenty of Rum, Vodka, Gin’s etc. to try. The Burnside whiskey is my favorite. Oh, and beyond the alcohol it is a cool place to hang out. The person that poured our drinks was Kentrail and he was so much fun to talk to. Totally great atmosphere! Lastly, it is owned by the first female to have a distillery west of the Mississippi which is also super cool! Check this place out and you will not be disappointed!
