Our tasting room is nestled in a beautifully renovated red barn surrounded by prairie and heirloom apple orchards. We offer a sampling of small-batch spirits produced by our micro-distillery.
Maple Leaf Orchards have 47 different types of vintage apple trees. The distillery is used to convert apple cider into apple brandy. Our tasting room is nestled in a beautifully renovated classic red barn surrounded by expansive prairie and heirloom apple orchards. Here we offer our visitors a sampling of the unique, small-batch spirits produced by our on-site micro-distillery as well as a tantalizing assortment of house-made cocktails created from them.
As you stroll the grounds, you’ll find our apple orchards, which are home to 47 varieties of heirloom cider apple trees that we carefully tend to craft to produce the first authentic farm-to-bottle Kansas Apple Brandy! You’ll also find a small vineyard tucked into the south side of the distillery where we cultivate the grapes for our cognac/grape brandy. From apples and grapes to elderberries and herbs, we grow many of the fresh, seasonal, local ingredients that grace our cocktails.
We will have apples to purchase at the distillery store and on-site guided tours on how we distill our apple brandy. Visitors (21 years and above) can enjoy cocktails made with the spirits we distill while sitting in outdoor event areas.
We will offer a guided tour on how we distill our products. The Master Distiller, Daryl Kleitz, will be available to answer questions and give visitors an educational tour on how spirits are distilled.
Kids: We have outdoor areas that are set up for picnics and have games such as corn hole that children can play.
