We started as Wynndel Craft Distilleries in 2017, selling at farmers markets across the East and West Kootenays. By 2023 we had outgrown the original location near Duck Lake and bought the Sunset Seed Building in Creston. We kept the exterior almost as it was, a speakeasy disguise, and converted the interior to house our taste room, distillery, warehouse, and barrel storage under one roof. We renamed after the sternwheelers that made settling this valley possible.
