What a great bargain for a wonderful tour?
This is one of the best distillery tours we have ever been on, including Kentucky Bourbon tours. Our guide was very knowledgeable of the entire process! The tour group was only 4, so all of our questions were answer. Onside ring all the samples we were offered the price was very low.THIS TOUR IS A WINNER!

Fantastic tou/restaurant
The tour was fantastic the drinks tatsed so good! And the food at the penny farthing was the best we had while in town
via Tripadvisor
Highly recommended for all ages 21+
We enjoyed this tour so much in February (as a couple) that we decided to go again as a family activity when we had out-of-town relatives visiting in July. It was just a much fun the second time, and we already discussed a 3rd tour next time we have visitors. Stella deserves a trip to the farm! Highly recommended!

Fun Distillery Tour!
What a great tour! Our tour guide, Stella Britt, was incredibly knowledgeable and informative about the distillery and the entire process of distilling. She was bubbly and enthusiastic and had a detailed and informative answer for every question that was asked. Our 2 mini cocktails were delicious and we were able to taste a couple other things on our tour. There was also tasting available after the tour. It was definitely 90 minutes well spent and a must-see stop on a visit to Bellingham. We enjoyed a delicious, light dinner afterwards at the restaurant at the distillery.

WA local approved
We had a very good time touring and sample tasting at this relatively “young “distillery . Stella did a fantastic job explaining the history and process of distilling . We will be sure to visit again. I hope in the future they offer some of their 6yr old+ single barrel cask strength for sale one day.

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for San Juan Islands.
How much does Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass cost?
+
Prices start at $20 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in San Juan Islands usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass take?
+
Plan for about 1 hour from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in San Juan Islands is not rushed.
Is Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 112 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in San Juan Islands, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass?
+
Around 39 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in San Juan Islands can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in San Juan Islands and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central San Juan Islands within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in San Juan Islands?
+
The San Juan Islands are Washington's whale watching centre: orca and humpback boats, kayak tours through the channels, seaplane trips and island-hopping day tours from Seattle. On Outty we rank every San Juan Islands experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Whale Watching from Friday Harbor, Full Day San Juan Island Kayaking Adventure, Guaranteed Whale Watching Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit San Juan Islands?
+
May to September, with peak whale sightings in July and August. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in San Juan Islands?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass?
+
Included: Alcoholic beverages; Guided Tour of Distillery; and Complimentary Chuckanut Bay Distillery Souvenir Shot Glass. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass?
+
Tours begin in the tasting room at Chuckanut Bay Distillery at 1311 Cornwall Avenue, Bellingham, WA. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Chuckanut Bay Distillery Tour with 2 Mini Cocktails and Gift Glass offered in?
+
It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
