Garofalo Artisan Liqueurs in Winchester, VA

Last year we visited wineries and distilleries in Virginia’s Shenandoah region. One of those is the unique Garofalo Artisan Liqueurs which is producing several yummy liqueurs. They have a very unique story which dates back to the  founder’s grandmother who made liqueurs and wine during Prohibition. Francesca Inzero developed a Walnut Liqueur  which her grandson Dick Garofalo began to replicate and offer for sale. Dick expanded the variety of infused spirits. Unfortunately Dick passed away in 2016 and at the time of our visit his business partner Dana Norris was seeking to increase production and distribution. For more information read the Wine Trail Traveler article.

We were happy to receive permission to add their delicious cocktail recipes to the Wine Trail Traveler distilling section of our website. Check out the recipes below as well as the recipes already added to Wine Trail Traveler distilling site.

Cheers!
