There’s a place in Nevada that actually calls itself a “Booze District” and it’s just as amazing as it sounds. Nevada is one of the best places to be in the country if you call yourself a beer, wine, or liquor “enthusiast”. Our state is full of craft breweries, distilleries, and wineries that make for the perfect daytime activity. This Booze District has all of the above located on just one block, making it the perfect place to spend a day taking in all the craft booze you can muster.
The "Artisan Booze District" is just a short drive away from the Las Vegas Strip in Henderson, Nevada. The district is a paradise for booze enthusiasts, containing three breweries, a winery, and a distillery.
The Las Vegas Distillery was the first producer of artisan spirits in Nevada after the Prohibition era. The public are welcome to the distillery for tastings and tours.
At the Las Vegas Distillery, you can sample some of the finest whiskey and vodka offered in the state. A popular choice among guests is the incredibly delicious Grandma's Apple Pie Moonshine.
The distillery is closed to the public on Sunday and Monday. Tours are held on weekdays at 3 pm and on Saturday at 12 pm, 2 pm, and 4 pm. The tours are a great way to learn about the different types of alcohol and the history of distilleries in Vegas. Tastings are held after each tour.
