The Savage & Cooke distillery, owned by Napa Valley winemaker Dave Phinney, is located on historic Mare Island and opened in 2018.

The decision to locate the distillery on Mare Island was due to its fascinating history as a naval shipyard, the plethora of space, stunning brownstone buildings and its proximity to both the Napa Valley and San Francisco. Savage & Cooke distills, ages, finishes, and bottles a range of brown spirits including Bourbon, Whiskey, and Rye. 

Second Glance American Whiskey, The Burning Chair Bourbon, and Lip Service Rye are all aged, blended, and bottled at the Savage & Cooke Distillery. Dave uses grains and water from his own Northern California land to produce whiskies at the distillery and barrels from his different wine projects to finish each of the blends.

Your VIP tour and tasting for four guests will start with a tasting of Bourbon, Whiskey, and Rye as you make your way through the historic buildings and follow the process of making spirits from mash to barrel. It will include a visit to the private tasting room at Savage & Cooke - a former ‘vault’ that was used for housing the most classified of classified on Mare Island.

And for you to take home, three bottles: The Burning Chair Bourbon, Second Glance American Whiskey, and Lip Service Rye.

After your tasting, enjoy lunch on one of Vallejo’s favorite restaurants, Gracie’s. Since opening in 1999, they have served the community with the philosophy that good food brings people together. There's always room at the table, at Gracie’s.
