Nashville Craft Distillery

Nashville Craft Distillery is built on science. From Day 1, guests have received a lesson in the science and history of fermentation and distillation with tours led by the distilling team itself. Nashville Craft offers a two-day, hands-on distilling workshop to deepen that experience for craft spirit lovers.

Nashville Craft’s Hands-On Distilling Experience takes place in our working distillery, 514 Hagan St., Nashville, Tennessee. The workshops are led by Nashville Craft founder and president Bruce Boeko, along other members of the distilling team. Conducted on Mondays and Tuesdays, sessions cover topics including:

• The science of fermentation and distillation;

• Legal requirements (standards of identity) for whiskey, gin and other spirits;

• Operation and maintenance of the mechanical systems used in distilling;

• Infusions, barrel aging, and other post-distillation methods;

• Distillery business strategies, whiskey economics;

• Hands-on participation in mashing grain, fermentation, first and second distillation for whiskey, and botanical distillation of gin.

Who should attend?

• Distilled spirits enthusiasts

• Potential future distillers

• Applied science fans

• Homebrewers and winemakers

• Anyone serious about what it means to drink local and how local spirits are made

The two-day program costs $725 per attendee, plus sales tax. Workshop hours are 10 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday and 10 a.m.-4 p.m. Tuesdays on the weeks they’re offered. Class size is up to eight people.
