Distillery tasting room
About
Telluride Distilling Company makes vodka, gin, whiskey and Chairlift Warmer peppermint schnapps. Its tasting room is in the Franz Klammer Lodge in Mountain Village, a short walk from the base of the Telluride Ski Resort. The lounge serves cocktails made with its spirits, and you can play pool or darts or watch a game on the TVs.
The company calls itself Telluride's first legal distillery, and its website quotes the Telluride Historical Museum on the town's Prohibition-era moonshine. The tasting room can also be rented for private events.
History
The founders first talked about making spirits on a date night in 2012 and started the distillery in 2013. Its tasting room moved from Lawson Hill to the former Cornerstone Club space in the Franz Klammer Lodge in 2018.
