Distilleries — Wine Country Whiskey Trail

Branch Point Distillery

Founded in 2016, Branch Point is a small independent distillery focused exclusively on grain to glass whiskey and is based on the premise that whiskey should reflect its place of origin. By establishing our distillery and tasting room in the heart of Oregon’s Willamette Valley, we have the opportunity to work closely with local farmers. We utilize traditional methods of production such as grain-in fermentation, distillers malt, open top fermenters, double pot distillation, low barrel entry proofs, and non-chill filtration. With each step of production, choices are made to maximize flavor for the creation of delicious whiskeys found nowhere else. Branch Point celebrates the idea that the decision to take a different path in life is rewarded with new discoveries and unexpected adventures.

The Brixeur Cottage, our speakeasy style tasting room, is nestled within Trisaetum's Ribbon Ridge vineyard and serves as an intimate setting for your tasting experience.

Established in 1997 by our founder Tad Seestedt, Ransom is celebrating 25 years as an alembic distillery, artisan wine company and vermouth house. Ransom juxtaposes many of the finest old world craft beverage traditions with creative innovation. Heritage, craftsmanship and a deep respect for terroir are Ransom’s core values. Tad single-handedly revived the 19th century era ‘Old Tom’ Gin. In the process, he maxed out his credit cards in order to fund his passion. With the bank holding him 'Ransom' to pay back his debt, he thought the name appropriate for his continued pursuit.
