Woody Creek Distillers

Taste freely. We handle the ride. A private ride from Aspen or Snowmass to a VIP distillery tour in Basalt, and home again.

Last updated October 1, 2026

The VIP Private Tour

Tours run Wednesday to Saturday, 2:00 to 6:00 pm. A craft distillery at 60 Sunset Drive in Basalt, about 20 miles from Aspen, making every spirit in its own copper stills from Colorado potatoes and Roaring Fork Valley water. The VIP Private Tour is just for your group: a behind-the-scenes look at the original production facility with an expert guide, a tasting from the award-winning core line, a whisky thief to sample straight from the barrels, and a complimentary cocktail. Tours last about an hour. Guests must be 21 or older.
