Tumbleweed Spirits Craft Distillery

Tumbleweed Spirits Craft Distillery brings handcrafted spirits to the desert-edge town of Osoyoos, on the shore of Canada's warmest lake. Started by a group of friends with backgrounds in winemaking and brewing, the distillery set out to showcase the area's agricultural heritage, growing from a single still into one of the south Okanagan's favourite craft producers. Using traditional copper stills, they make vodka distilled for clean purity, gin built on local botanicals like juniper, lavender and sage, oak-aged whisky and small-batch moonshine, plus seasonal and limited releases and a line of Los Compadres ready-to-pour cocktails. The heart of a visit is the Tumbleweed Lounge, where each cocktail is mixed with the distillery's own spirits, generously poured in a relaxed, welcoming setting. For the full experience, book a guided tour led by the distiller: you'll go behind the scenes into the distillation process and finish with a tasting of four spirits plus a barrel sample, walking away with a branded shot glass, a small bottle to take home, and discounts on bottle purchases and lounge cocktails. The distillery also hosts events like cocktail-making classes, live music nights and themed dinners, making it as much a gathering place as a tasting stop. Set on Lakeshore Drive in the heart of Osoyoos, it's an easy, walkable addition to a lake-town getaway and a refreshing change of pace from the region's many wineries. What makes Tumbleweed worth a stop is the combination of genuine craft distilling, a lively cocktail lounge and warm local hospitality in one of BC's sunniest spots. Whether you're a spirits enthusiast, a cocktail lover or just looking for a fun evening out by the lake, it's a standout south-Okanagan experience.
