My husband and I were passing through town for the day and stopped into the shop. I had to resist buying all sorts of interesting items (we already had too much to take on the plane home), though even if you aren't planning to buy (but why wouldn't you?), it's great fun to browse here. Outside there is an area for daily fun creative craft activities that are geared toward kids, but I would have been happy to join in, as well, had we more time and luggage space. If I was local, and my nieces and nephews were younger, I would definitely have planned to spend some time here!

As you drive down to Half Moon Bay from San Francisco, Route One will wind through an array of cypresses. It is fitting that at HMB Distillery you should sample some of the best things about a member of the ancient cypress family, the juniper berry, which according to Drunken Botanist author Amy Stewart, puts them on earth at the same time when most of our current continental configuration was a single continent---that's why the juniper thrives on so many continents. It's fitting that the owners of Half Moon Bay hail from different parts of the world but they speak a common language, the juniper... On this distillery tour you will watch a video about the distillery's origins and sit at the foot of their still, but the hallmark of the tour is just enjoying the HMB take on vodka and gin. The tour really encourages you to discover what ingredients they use in their blends to make it special. No turnstiles, no heavy handed sale pitches, no beard oil on the shelf. You just delight in their innovative take on vodka and gin and then take a nice walk on Princeton by the Sea. Done and done,
