If you are visiting Dallas, and even if you are a local, then something you are probably aware of is just how many amazing Dallas distilleries there are to try.

Because of this, whether you are from the area or a tourist, then seeing and looking around some of the distilleries in the area is something you should just not miss out on.

One misconception you might have about distilleries in Dallas is that there is only a focus on whiskey, and while Dallas is famous for its whiskey, and if you want a whiskey distillery, there is plenty of choice, however, this is not all there is to offer when it comes to Dallas distilleries.

There are all kinds of craft distilleries in Dallas, so do not feel like if you are not a fan of whiskey that there will not be anything here for you!

If you have not toured distilleries that often before, then one thing you might not be aware of is how much research you need to do before visiting.

You will not need to be doing intense research, however, since distilleries tend to be unconventional businesses, that means this is reflected in visiting them.

This is to say that no two distilleries are identical and the experience you have somewhere might be completely different from how you experience a different distillery.

For example, some distilleries can be fun and educational for children, while others might strongly suggest against bringing children and not allow them in the premises.

The size of a distillery might also affect how you spend your time there, some distilleries will have enough on the premises to make it a whole day activity, while others will essentially be a gift shop with some well informed staff.

Knowing what to expect means you can plan the rest of your day accordingly and not end up feeling short on time.

Depending on how long you plan to spend at a distillery, you will also need to think about food and how you are going to eat if you visit.

Some distilleries will offer food alongside drink, some will have food trucks on the premises, and others will not have any options, this again is something you will need to consider.

This range and diversity of different types of distilleries is all encapsulated in Dallas, and there are plenty of options to go with. Because of how much choice there is in Dallas we have narrowed down our choices to just our highlights!

So, if you want to know the best distilleries in Dallas, Texas that are worth a visit, keep reading!

Bendt Distilling Co.

This is one of the more popular distilleries in the Dallas area for a reason, and there are multiple facilities in this location available for you to tour.

The tours are held every Friday and Saturday, and while this is a little more often than some other distilleries, because of the popularity of this location the slots can fill quickly, so we strongly recommend booking as far in advance as possible.

But what really helps this location stand out is the golf course on site which is part of the Glen Garden Country Club. This makes this a perfect spot to come and get drinks after enjoying golf on the massive 112 acre grounds.

This spot is only open between Wednesday and Friday, however, you will find that they sometimes have events hosted on weekends, but this is variable.

Herman Marshall Whiskey

If you are a fan of Texas bourbon, Texas rye, or single malt whiskey, then you have to come and try it from this location.
