Last Mountain Distillery
Are you curious to find out exactly how a handful of grain becomes a glass of spirits? Take a tour of Last Mountain Distillery with owners Colin and Meredith Schmidt, who will walk you through the process and even let you in on the secret of their dill pickle vodka (hint: it’s dill). Tours are available on Saturdays from 12 to 5 p.m. Pick up a bottle of spirits made from Saskatchewan grain on your way out.
Over the Hill Orchards and Winery
Not far from Lumsden is Over the Hill Orchards and Winery, a certified organic fruit grower. The orchard may be best known for its tangy Prairie Cherry products and selection of fruit wines. Take in a tour or tasting, or indulge in a gourmet meal prepared by a guest chef at one of its weekend Supper in the Orchard events. Visitors are also welcome to stop in and pick up a bottle of wine, a package of Prairie Cherry Chocolates or a gluten-free pie.
Iron Bridge Brewery
Iron Bridge Brewery is a family-run, small-batch brewery that opened its taproom doors in 2020. It serves its own beer, along with other Saskatchewan-made craft beer and wines, and has a limited food menu on offer.
