Thank you to all the readers of Style Magazine for voting us one of the Best Distilleries in the region! 

The Sacramento area is rich in historical libation with saloons and drinking establishments that were plentiful during the gold rush era and through the turn of the century. However, 1920 marked the beginning of prohibition, a time when the legal manufacture of alcohol was halted but the demand for spirits continued. Sacramento did not give up its libation so easily and, as a community, rebelled against the new law. At a time when alcohol was illegal, Sacramento was rumored to have been one of the easiest places to get drink in the State of California.

While 1933 marked the end of prohibition, it wasn’t until 2014 when spirits were once again legally produced in Sacramento County. Gold River Distillery is proud to be the first distillery to open in Sacramento County since prohibition was enacted almost 100 years ago in 1920.

We produce small-batch spirits including vodka, gin, absinthe, corn whiskey, California Bourbon, and the world's first malted rice whiskey. We invite you to come to our tasting room to try our spirits for yourself!
