Skagway Spirits and Distillery Tour

Excursion Overview

Skagway’s Scenic History and Craft Spirits Experience

Experience the charm of Skagway through a unique blend of history, scenery, and small-batch spirits on this intimate, small-group tour. Begin your journey at the cruise ship dock, where a local guide leads you through Skagway’s storied past, weaving tales of the Klondike Gold Rush as you pass historic landmarks. A stop at the Skagway Overlook offers sweeping views of the town, the Skagway River, and the glacier-capped Chilkoot Mountains—perfect for unforgettable photos.

The tour continues at Skagway Spirits, a family-owned distillery known for its handcrafted Bone-Dry Gin and Glacial Vodka. Go behind the scenes to learn about their unique distillation process and commitment to local ingredients. In the tasting room, enjoy a handcrafted cocktail—perhaps a Rhubarb Collins or a spruce tip–infused gin and tonic—before returning to the dock, taking with you a deeper appreciation for Skagway’s rich heritage and local flavor.
