Tattersall Distilling Opening New Wisconsin Destination Distillery In Fall 2021
A new destination distillery and second production facility for Minnesota’s Tattersall Distilling is under way in River Falls, Wisconsin, set to open this fall.
The 75,000-square-foot facility will focus on sustainability, featuring indoor and outdoor event spaces, an on-site restaurant, a large retail market and expanded production capabilities. Distillery owners say this move will allow Tattersall to continue to grow production while maintaining its cocktail room in nearby Minneapolis.
Tattersall plans to reopen its Northeast Minneapolis cocktail room this summer with expanded seating, providing more room for guests to socially distance.
