Kinsip House of Fine Spirits is an estate distillery dedicated to the innovative and rigorous crafting of creative spirits. We are a family
business — Maria and Michael both operate the distillery and make their home here. Maria leads the retail experience at the farm and
her partner Michael guides the distilling operations. The family has young children and extended family who love exploring and working
together at the farm. Maria’s family has been crafting spirits in Bulgaria for generations — now introducing the next generation to
distilling in Canada. Kinsip is made possible by the hard work and dedication of the talented artisans and hosts who work together
with us to create an extraordinary experience for our guests.
Through experimentation and rigorous craft, Kinsip brings new flavours and flare to well-known drinks. We are inspired by both the global traditions of distilling and our bountiful local produce. Kinsip advocates the grain-to-glass model of craft distilling where grains are both fermented and distilled on-site. As an estate distillery, we take our commitment to expressing our farm’s terroir a step further by also growing and milling
grains for our spirits here. We use small-batch processes with special attention to the unique expressions in each batch and barrel to determine how they could contribute to our desired spirit profile. From firing our own barrels to foraging for botanicals, we are dedicated to the craft of
creating distinctive spirits that are excellent to sip or mix, helping bring families and friends together to celebrate life’s moments both small and grand.
