What to do and see in New Hampshire, United States: The Best Distilleries

February 2, 2022 Lashaunda Abraham

If you are looking for diversity, you will certainly find it in New Hampshire. From lakes to beaches, waterfalls to woods and mountains to sea coast, the state has huge potential for outdoor vacations, including downhill or cross-country skiing in winter. With no less than seventy-five state parks that offer natural areas, hiking trails, beaches and historic sites, New Hampshire caters for a variety of tastes. Crawford Notch State Park in Harts Location has picturesque waterfalls, wonderful mountain views and opportunities for viewing wildlife. You can go hiking and fishing there as well as pay a visit to the historic Willey House. Monadnock State Park, unlike some other state parks, is open all year round for hiking. Want to go swimming? You will find five state park beaches along the coast of New Hampshire, such as Wallis Sands with its view of the rocky Isles of Shoals. On North Hampton State Beach and Jenness Beach you can have a picnic as well as a swim. When you've finally had your fill of fresh air, head for the Museum of New Hampshire History in Concord with exhibits focusing on heritage and traditions; children should enjoy them just as much as adults.

We have been passing the signs for this distillery for some time now and finally found the time needed to stop in and take a tour. First of all, if you like post and beam construction, this building is wonderful. Constructed of old barn beams up the 12" square. Once inside, the assumption is that you are there for the tour and tasting. We were happy to do so and there was plenty to taste. Future offerings were also talked about. One unanticipated gem was their Maple Syrup. They have combined maple sap with some of their brew, cooked off the alcohol and they are left with this full bodied, dark Maple syrup which should only be used on gourmet waffles or amazing desserts and to serve it only to those who can appreciate an amazing experience.

We were visiting friends in New Durham. They always plan the most interesting excursions for us. Today, we set out for Tamworth. After a delightful lunch at the Art in the Age Cage, we strolled down to the Tamworth Distillery. We were thrilled to see such an enchanting and charming distillery. We were able to look into where the products are distilled. Today, they were offering several ways to taste their products. You could have 3 tastings for $12, 5 tastings for $15 or a Cider Making which included a tasting of 3 spirits; make your own cider and a plate of cheese, biscuit and apples for $20.00. My husband did the 5 for $15 tasting of the following: Chocorua Straight Rye, Tamworth Garden Pommeau, Tamworth Garden Dutchess Gin, Old Hampshire Applejack, and Ginger Quince Cordial. Our friends did the Cider Making Tasting. Tamara was our server, and she was a delight. She took the time to explain everything to us. We found it most interesting, and my husband enjoyed all of his tastings. So much so, that he purchased a bottle of Flora Gin (which he had previously enjoyed). We enjoyed a really nice afternoon.
