A Smith Bowman Distillery
Just 2 miles south of the Visitor Center, A Smith Bowman Distillers welcomes guests to taste, tour, and purchase their quality Virginia spirits. Join a one-hour tour covering the history and process of distilling, including a trip upstairs to see “Mary,” Bowman’s 2000 gallon still. Today, Sunset Hills Gin and Fairfax County Bourbon pay tribute to those roots. Be sure to try the creamy, smooth Caramel Bourbon Cream; you may be tempted, like us, to bring a bottle home for sipping.
