We had a fantastic time doing a tasting and shopping. I'm not a big drinker but their products were fantastic and I ended up purchasing several. Katie was our tour guide and did an amazing job dealing with some others who had imbibed a bit before the tour and were extra friendly. I would recommend to anyone!

This is such a great treat! We took the tour and it was very informative and the tasting was awesome. We loved the whisky and the cute storefront. They have local artist’s work for sale as well. This is a must do on your trip to Mt. Airy!

I have lived in NC for only a 5 years and found Mayberry Spirits early on in my time here. After my first visit I was hooked. Vann and his staff are knowledgeable and really love their work.
Since my first visit I have brought all visiting friends and family up for the tour. At last count I have attended 12 tours and 2 private events.
Every trip to Mayberry spirits gives me the opportunity to see what new offers Vann has.
Whiskey infused coffee, cigars and extracts
are just some of the offerings. Local arts and crafts are always fun too. Currently loving the cinnamon extract. The cinnamon extract and Madagascar vanilla extract are must have ingredients in my world famous French toast!
This summer I have a brother and sister in law visiting then a close life long friend. I have already told them that Mayberry spirits will be a trip we will take.
I have always said that my first tour was the best 10 dollars I have spent in NC.

Amazing spot in the amazing town of Mount Airy, NC! My wife and I have always wanted to visit "Mayberry" and we ran across the distillery. I highly recommend their products and absolutely encourage you to take the tour. The sampling of their products is top notch and they allow you to try every one.....you will not be dissapointed!

Wouldn't have known about it except for friend. Came in very late in the day. The information provided about their process was fascinating. Appreciative of the tasting before purchasing. Will definitely be making one of their drink recipes.
However, when told 'here let me show you around quickly' as it was close to closing time was an actual 'tour' that we ended up paying for without advanced knowledge felt like a bit of a deception. Others that came in after us weren't offered the same 'tour.'

After reading other reviews, we decided we needed to check this place out. We arrived early for the tour, so we all ordered a craft cocktail prior to the tour. Drinks were great and staff was friendly. Tour was informative and samples were plentiful. We would recommend to others.

We have the “Winter Passports” for the Yadkin Valley vineyards, breweries and distilleries.
We decided to go on Friday and took the tour of this distillery with Terri. What a knowledgeable person and loves her job. She was fun to talk to and hear different stories about the area and how the distillery came to be.
Then it was on to tasting !!! The spirits had some interesting flavors and perfect for a small company.
We spent over an hour and could have stayed longer but it was time to eat.
This was definitely a very interesting stop and just a fun relaxing time.

We booked a distillery tour since it was my boyfriends 60th birthday a few days before. He really enjoys a good bourbon or Jack Daniels so I thought we should give this a try. We enjoyed an excellent tour of the distillery, the tour guide was great and even better the whiskey was great too. You won't be disappointed here.

We saw that they were located close to were we were staying and decided to go. Be sure to note the tours are on the hour! Waiting more 15 minutes is plenty before the tour, as you do not understand what you are seeing. After the tour and tasting you know what you like and what you are looking at. Lots of good product available for purchase. My only warning, PASS ON THE CIGARS spirit infused or not!!!! Sounded good but, NOT!

This place is wonderful! They make their own extracts in addition to whiskey, and the toasted vanilla whiskey is delicious. We did a quick tasting (no tour) and the staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I purchased a selection of mini bottles and the Madagascar vanilla extract and already want to go back for full sizes!
But the cherry on top is my mom accidentally dropped her checkbook, vaccination card, and some stamps in the shop (without realizing--she'd been looking everywhere for that card!) and they SENT EVERYTHING BACK! And included a hand-written note!
They really embody the spirit(s) of Mayberry!
