CRAFTED IN AND FOR THE VAIL VALLEY
The pioneering mindset that first attracted mountaineers, skiers, and explorers to these mountains is what drives us to consistently seek out brand and product innovations. The natural grandeur that has captured the awe and wonder of so many visitors and locals alike is what inspires us to only source the highest quality of natural ingredients for our spirits. The global mindset that transformed Vail Valley into an international destination is the same one that pushed us to tour the top distilleries in Europe, and replicate Old World practices to distill our spirits from wine grapes. As the first dedicated gin distiller in the Vail Valley, we are humbled to offer a new experience for our clientele. We wouldn’t be where we are today without the inspiration that this place has given our brand, so we consider it our duty to repay that inspiration… one drink at a time.
Cocktail Classes
Each class features three handcrafted cocktails showcasing a variety of styles and techniques. Participants will explore the history of each drink, the significance of glassware, and the essential methods behind building a well-balanced cocktail.

A complimentary cocktail recipe book, bar snacks, and a post-class price offering on Archetype spirits and merchandise are included.
