This is our first visit to this quaint tasting room. What a joyful surprise!! The ambiance is amazing. Cute little tasting room with nice vibes. Our server was extremely knowledgeable and he described the liqueurs in great detail. He made us feel like friends and....WOW We definitely liked this place.

Wow, so consistent!!! . This is my go to single malt whiskey, and rye whiskey in California now I just become a local snob that enjoy the best of the best. Jason puts out the best single whiskey in California.!!!!!!!

Really unique spirits with a great tasting room and kind staff. It was educational and a fun experience. Tasting was $15 and the fee is waived if you buy a bottle, which is easy to do because everything they make is delicious! Their candy cap bitters and rye were phenomenal, and their gin and grape spirits are unique and highlight the fruits of Sonoma county.

Diversity of liqours, their barrel aged gin is worth a visit alone

Wow! The tasting experience and discussion of spirits with Jason was fantastic. Thank you, it was a major highlight of our recent Russian River winery trip. I attended a winemaker dinner years ago and got to ask a question about what the winemakers thought they did, was it science, was it craft, was it art? Most of them said yes to the science and the craft, but they were iffy on the art question. I believe that Jason and his products exemplifies all of those categories to a T. I knew that this was going to be a special experience when I asked other craft distillery workers in the area where they would go, and they all said, "Alley 6 is legit". I would also like to thank Jason for sharing a taste of a special bottle of rye he had received. If I ever get the chance, I would like to return that favor. We ended up purchasing a bottle of Alley 6 Rye Whiskey and the Barrel Harvest Gin and will be back to Alley 6 during our next trip. Please make sure to visit Alley 6 for a tasting or to pickup a couple bottles. "Here's to the nights we'll never remember with the friends we'll never forget"

Such a fun place to sip delicious spirits! We've been here twice for tastings--once with Kalie and the other time with Jason. We became club members at our second visit--it just didn't make sense not to join.The interior of the bar and tasting area is cozy and laid-back. Pretty family friendly too! We had our 9 year old kiddo in tow both times, and the second we bought friends with an 8 year old and 3 year old--and they all made it through a tasting while enjoying their screen time among the cozy pillows on the benches. We love all the spirits here at Alley 6, but we are especially partial to their gins! If you're not a gin lover because you don't like the taste of juniper, Alley 6 gins may change your mind. They are beautifully balanced with different botanicals and aromatics and the juniper is not overpowering. Take a break from wine tasting, and don't miss this awesome distillery!

We love alley 6, they produce so many well crafted spirits with accare and uniqueness in each bottle. The tasing experience is also great and kaylie is always a awesome host! We especially love the peach brandy, peach liqueur and honestly we love everything they produce. Definitely recommend coming to pickup a bottle and at least do a tasting

Delicious spirits! Our tasting was hosted by Kalie, who was extremely knowledgeable and full of stories about the brand’s history! I learned more about types of liquors and their processing than I had ever known. We drove up to buy the Spiced Peach Liqueur, but really enjoyed the whole experience. Every flavor was unique, every sip inspiring. ??
Kalie was so great. I felt so educated about whiskey. Definitely worth the trip from San Francisco. The peach brandy and liqueur are so special and the coffee liqueur is not to be missed. ?????????????????

Hands down the best small batch whiskey I’ve had in Sonoma. Also, such a cool space and great staff.

We really enjoyed our time here. We had a great tasting with wonderful products, & a personable host. And unlike most of the wineries in the area, the cost of tasting was applied to the bottles purchased.Great experience, and we would definitely go again.

My husband and I have had this local distillery on our list for over a year now. Finally made it out to take the tour and go tasting yesterday. We got a one-on-one tour with Kalie who was exceptionally knowledgeable in the process of making the spirits. Our tasting was a pallet pleasing journey from dark to light of all their booze. While cozied up in their inviting tasting room, we enjoyed the knowledge of each pour as Kalie educated us on the story of how that spirit came to be. We were quite impressed with the flavor notes on the gins. (I tasted the center of a hot tamale, I swear) The cocktail ideas were impressive. We ended the tasting by becoming members and are already looking forward to our next quarter bottles of this diamond in the rough distillery nestled in beautiful Healdsburg.

Worth a detour!Dropped in while in town for some wine tasting. But, as I love whiskey too, wanted to see what was on offer. A nice small store with some clothing for sale and a bar. I bought one of their single malts which tasted great. Very smooth whiskey. Classic small batch attention and love has gone into this whiskey! I highly reccommend it to any whiskey fan. And a great intro to new drinkers, as it is very approachable. And the service from the nice lady was brilliant! She took the time to give me the history of the place and its owners.
