VISIT US FOR A TASTING.
STAY FOR AN EXPLORATION.
Go back to simpler times, when dinner was caught in the morning, handshakes sealed deals, and a special bottle of spirit was shared around the fire with friends. We invite you inside our working distillery and tasting room where we handcraft, age and bottle our spirits at our 4000ft perch above sea level.
If you'd like to sample any of our available spirits, we welcome you to enjoy an a la carte taste on a drop-in basis. If you'd rather relax and view our production space from the comfort of our Adirondack chairs and bartop tables, reserve a 'Haus Tasting for an educational tableside treat of our full lineup. And if a spiked refreshment is the cure for what ails you, we offer our spirits in seasonal cocktails and mixed drinks on a drop-in basis as space permits.
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 www.GoCalaveras.com today.

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 and liqueurs are distilled from grapes and are
also gluten-free.
