Tasted vodka, gin and the 10th grappa(yes it is better than the other 9), followed by a delicious mini cocktail. The staff were super knowledgeable and friendly, bought a bottle of their wheat&barley based vodka to take home! We’ll be back next weekend - it’s such a nice open space 😍

Half Moon Bay Distillery is a small, local distillery that prides themself on producing super premium quality spirits using, with rare exception, all natural and organic ingredients and botanicals. Their small batch, artisan Purissima Vodka is distilled from 100% grain and is true to their “smooth and silky” description. Another winner from this distillery is their “Lavender Vodka.” The lavender tone in this vodka is nothing short of amazing. The flavor is so perfectly nuanced that I’ve come to the conclusion that their distiller is a gifted savant. How else could he continually get absolutely everything right? The Harvard Avenue Gin is about as tasty of a gin that I’ve ever been privileged to drink. Even though it was about closing time (my bad), I was treated like a king and did the full sampling. I would describe the tasting room as a smallish warehouse only slightly off the beaten path in Half Moon Bay. There’s plenty of space to host a business or social event. Great vibe to the place and superior liquor.

We were there today, Sunday, after the posted open hour, but no one was there. No sign. I even phoned while there but no answer. Too bad, not good for prospective customers.

Drove from Petaluma to check this place out. Lots of open seats, we were turned away because we did not have reservations and were not ordering food. Staff was RUDE. Was told bartender was behind and can't help us! Never been treated this bad before

We went to a late tour on a weekday and we were the only people there. The owner gave us the presentation and she was so friendly. The vodka and gin tasted really smooth and tasty. Highly recommended.
