Wolfhead Distillery

My last visit was very good. The best dish is the ribs! Do not hesitate- get the two full racks!!! You dont need to share...its that good!

The adult root beer is also a fav. They have a good amount of cool canadian craft beers on tap and some in the store to take home. Our favourite whiskey right now is the coffee whiskey which is available at the lcbo. If your new to the restaurant definitely order a flight of whiskey, at $6, you cant go wrong!

The restaurant has a cool vibe. I love the decor. I cant wait to try out the patio. The restaurant is very kid friendly and the staff adore our little boys each time we visit.

Unfortunately, I haven't yet been on a whiskey tour. Its never offered when I am there. It seems a bit expensive as well. I believe it should be offered for free to a table of customers who spend $100 in the restaurant and $25 in the retail store. Wolfhead step up your game, we spend tons of money when we visit.

Really enjoyed visiting the Wolfhead Distillery. The food was great, service friendly.
I would suggest that, for a premium cocktail such as the Smoky Manhattan, they put a little more effort in. I was disappointed that cheap neon red cherries were used in place of proper Maraschino cherries. And serving a Manhattan in an ice filled glass is just wrong. Either "up", or on a proper ice block. These little things barely cost anything but they elevate the experience and show that you care.

This place has an extensive drink menu in terms of cocktails. You can also order a flight of craft liquors (4 quarter oz tasters) for $6. There are a few local wines and a handful of local craft beers, too. The food is okay but in terms of scope, it's pretty limited -- you can have an app, a sandwich, or a burger. This part of my review is a solid 4/5.

However, I was not impressed with the speed of the service: we arrived at 1:40 PM and did not have our cocktails until 30 minutes later. We were essentially ignored after we were seated for 15-20 minutes. We didn't get our food until about an hour after we were seated--so it's not exactly a place to visit for a "quick bite." I should note that we were on the patio without a reservation and there were about 30 other people out here with 3 servers between us all. I'm not sure how that warrants waiting 30 mins for a drink. The service improved after we had our food, though.

This review is purely for their online ordering & in-person pickup during COVID-19. We had planned on doing the distillery tour this spring, but obviously that isn't happening anytime soon. Instead, we ordered a bottle of whisky and a bottle of the banana caramel vodka and took them home to enjoy. Very quick same-day turnaround on the ordering and pickup, and friendly, physically-distanced service too.
The banana caramel vodka is a nice treat, and their whisky is delightful. The relatively short drive to Wolfhead is worth not waiting in line at the LCBO, and saving a couple of dollars off of the usual LCBO price.

Enjoyed a flight of flavored Vodkas out on the deck area. There was live music also. Great spot for dinner too.

Located in Essex county its not hard to spot the great wall of barrels as you enter the distillery.
Upon reaching the complex Wolfhead has an outdoor patio/space that has love music playing on the weekends.
We came here for a tasting tour, where we had to opportunity to try their:
**Banana caramel vodka - sweet sweet Jesus was this delicious, alcohol content was perfect.  Smooth and luckily alcohol content was less than the other ones we tried.
**Coffee whisky, if only you could add this to your morning cup of Tim's or Starbucks this would be a delight.
**Grapefruit vodka, I liked this one best, not sweet, but you can still taste the grapefruit.  Loved it so much I purchased a bottle on the way out.
Overall great place that also has a bar/ dine in area for those wanted to catch a bite!

plenty of parking and the ambiance is busy.

Drinks were very tasty, a little on the pricey side but their spirits are all very good.

Food was ok, but $18 for a sandwich and salad is overkill.
Pretty much all the food is $5 too expensive, especially at $10 per cocktail.

Would still return but maybe just to drink on the nice patio.

Friendly service so props for that!

Even though we arrived after the tours ended, they were nice enough to allow us to sit down and do some tasting. We all were able to agree on two bottles that we all loved and they were the Wolfhead Banana Caramel Vodka and the Wolfhead Coffee Whiskey.

We were touring a winery in Kingsville and saw an advertisement for this distillery.  I'm so glad we decided to stop here the following day.  The restaurant looks like it's brand new - very nice and clean.  We opted to sit at the bar and are so glad we did.  We had a very enjoyable dinner with Nick taking great care of us.  Two of the five stars are for Nick who was the best bartender and was very knowledgeable about the company and the distillery.

We were there on a weekday evening so it wasn't very crowded.  The drinks and food were served in a very timely manner.  My husband opted for the tasting and got to select 4 choices from their whiskey and vodka.  He enjoyed this very much.  We were there on his birthday and when Nick found out he gave him the tastings on the house - very nice!

I had the perch and it was wonderful.  The breading was perfect and it was not greasy at all.  The best part of the dinner was the tarter sauce!!  My husband had the pork sliders and raved about them.

They have a retail store connected to the restaurant and they had some cute baskets which would make a great gift.  I thought the banana caramel vodka was amazing but I like sweet drinks.  My husband liked their whiskey and said it was very smooth.   They are currently a small operation but I know they are going to do well with that great product line.  We will be sure to visit again and hope that Nick is at the bar when we do!

Wolfhead was a really cool distillery to visit while I was visiting Canada. I had the hard root beer to drink which is made with their caramel whiskey and it was awesome. My friend tried the flight of whiskeys and really enjoyed the coffee whiskey and the banana. We ordered the poutine and Brie tarts which were good as well.
