California law prohibits distilleries from selling more than 4.5 liters (6 x 750ml bottles of spirit) to any adult in any one day.

Can you host a private event or private tasting?
We would be happy to discuss your private event or private tasting. Please give us a call so we may determine if our tasting room would be the appropriate site. 209.890.7084.
Are your spirits gluten-free?
At Hinterhaus, we take gluten allergies and sensitivities seriously. The National Celiac Association along with the FDA state that distilled spirits, including those made from grains, are naturally gluten-free thanks to the process of distillation that separates glutens from the remaining compounds (gluten does not vaporize). Our whiskeys are distilled from grains and are gluten-free. Our vodka, gin and liqueurs are distilled from grapes and are also gluten-free.
What else is there to do nearby?
After visiting us, you’ll find world class recreating options nearby including Calaveras Big Trees State Park’s breathtaking giant sequoia, hiking trails and fishing holes, golfing, boutique shopping, live music, and Bear Valley Ski Resort to name a few. We are just a few hour’s drive from both Lake Tahoe and Yosemite, making us a wonderful stop along your Sierra Nevada pilgrimage. We invite you to see for yourself what continues to attract people to our special neck of the woods. Start planning by visiting Go Calaveras today.
