~ Turning the Best Local Fruit into the Best Spirits ~

The Creston Valley is in a natural fruit growing area of the Kootenays, BC with stunning scenery to inspire and relax in.

We opened in 2017 in Wynndel under the name Wynndel Craft Distilleries, changing in 2024 to Sternwheeler Craft Distilleries when we out grew the Wynndel location and moved about 15 k's into the Town of Creston and into the old Sunset Seeds Building.

We still have the original 16 acres in Saskatoons and a few other Berries and our Saskatoon U-Pick.

We produce small unique handcrafted batches of Spirits for your enjoyment using fresh fruit only grown either by us or by local orchards. We don't use grains or artificial flavors.

~ Taste Room & Store Open 6 days, 11am - 6pm, Sundays we Open 12pm ~
