Dads will love these not-so-obvious day trips for Father's Day.
Even if kids are too young to sample the award-winning whiskey, they can soak in the essence of George Washington’s enterprise by touring the distillery and gristmill, which made the Founding Father one of the most successful producers of spirits in the 18th century. Today, this site continues to craft small-batch, 86-proof whiskey using old-school methods.
Costumed staff grinds grain in the gristmill powered by a 16-foot waterwheel, ferments the mash in rustic wooden tubs, and distills the alcohol in copper pots heated by a wood-fueled fire. Dads can even take home a handsome bottle emblazoned with the first president’s face.Although access to the distillery and mill are included with Mount Vernon general admission, $10 will give you access to the distillery and gristmill separately.
