    Small but MIGHTY!!!

    Chose this distillery bc they offered more than just whiskey! Loved meeting Bill & Wanda & our mixologists at the bar were the best! This place is small but mighty! Bill has built most of the equipment & Wanda is the master behind most of the recipes. We were very impressed that almost everything is made in house - bitters, simple syrups…they even make their own Aperol😳. Enjoyed the tour, tasting, drinks at the bar & meeting the owners & staff. Would highly recommend!!!

    Excellent and informative tour of family run distillery.

    Family distillery with lots of history. Very interesting to see the work put in to make the award winning spirits. And everything I tasted was delicious.

    Great distillery visit in a cool location

    Excellent tour and an unbelievable diversity of spirits that are distilled onsite. All of our sampled spirits were excellent! The owner is amazing as he led us through the 5 distilleries that he made.

    Delicious Spirits from Family Run Distillery

    We've toured many distilleries in the US and across the globe. This was one of the more fascinating. It was also one of the most personal because it's family run. On top of that, the spirits are simply fantastic!

    Distillery Tour at Gate 11: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Chattanooga.

    How much does Distillery Tour at Gate 11 cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Chattanooga usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Distillery Tour at Gate 11 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 Chattanooga is not rushed.

    Is Distillery Tour at Gate 11 worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 23 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Chattanooga, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Distillery Tour at Gate 11?

    +

    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 Distillery Tour at Gate 11 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 Distillery Tour at Gate 11?

    +

    Around 8 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga and add a light layer if any part of the 1-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Distillery Tour at Gate 11 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 Chattanooga 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 Chattanooga?

    +

    Chattanooga sells Lookout Mountain packages with Ruby Falls and Rock City, incline railway rides, Civil War battlefield tours, river cruises and caving trips. On Outty we rank every Chattanooga experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Ocoee River Middle Whitewater Rafting Trip (Most Popular Tour), Middle Ocoee River Rafting Adventure Tour, Classic Middle Ocoee River Adventure. 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 Chattanooga?

    +

    April to June and September to November. 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 Chattanooga?

    +

    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.
