This "Distiller for a Day" package for two adults is the perfect way to spend a day in just outside of Chicago.

Your day starts with a tour of Star Union Spirits Craft distillery in Peru, IL. The American Craft Spirits Association (“ASCA”) recently awarded a 2021 "Best in Class (Rum)" Silver Medal, and four Bronze Medals to Star Union Spirits in its Annual Craft Spirits Competition. Star Union is an artisanal, small-batch distillery established in 2016 in Peru, Illinois, and operating out of the historic Westclox factory. Star Union Spirits is inventive in that can-do midwestern way, reinvigorating the art of specialty craft spirits.

On this tour, you'll get an up-close look at how craft spirits are distilled and learn local history with a tour of the Westclox Museum. The day also includes lunch for two, a spirit room tasting (with a personalized cocktail), and a room at the nearby Hampton Inn in Peru, IL. You can make a weekend out of it by enjoying a day at nearby Starved Rock State Park, one of Illinois' true natural treasures.

Finally, you also get a bottle to take home with you so you can toast your awesome day with a delicious cocktail.

Experience to be scheduled at a mutually agreeable time, most likely during the week when distilling typically takes place.
