Gypsy Distillery
Petoskey, Michigan
craft spirits and events over bay harbor
Gypsy Distillery sits on twenty acres overlooking Little Traverse Bay, an ex-equestrian centre that looks more like a gin-fueled art-gallery than a horse stable today.
This place is a high-class craft-spirits hub that refuses to be pretentious, serving seasonal cocktails that actually taste better than even your average mixer on night.
The tasting room opens into a lush cocktail garden — yes, I know, garden, and it smells like summer, not just hops.
There are event spaces that would make even the most cynical socialite blush, hosting live music, themed parties, and private events. A Memorial Day bash or a Disney trivia night can even fit here.
Its signature spirits — Gypsy Vodka and Petoskey Stone Gin — are award-winning, and each bottle tells a tale of adventure that would make Indiana Jones look jealous.
Quirky converted-stable architecture, bay views, food that truly compliments rather than pretends to, and games that let you brag about your skill.
