The Distillery is located in Wanship, which is a fifteen-minute drive from Park City, and it’s SO worth it! Through the winter season, join for a their weekly Supper Club on select Friday and Saturday nights, you get a seasonal welcome cocktail, culinary action stations, and full dinner buffet with live music. It’s always such a special experience.

Nordic Skiing
You can cross-country ski or skate ski through White Pine. They’ll rent you all the gear and give you lessons if you need them. Every morning they groom the 3k and 5k tracks just outside the Nordic Center. They also groom a longer track around the McPolin Barn, but you’ll need real skill to tackle the butt- thigh-lung-burner trail at the Barn.
Snowshoeing
If you don’t want to adventure with Julia, talk to the guys at White Pine Nordic Center about doing a guided snowshoe outing in the beautiful Uintah Mountains. The beauty of snowshoeing is that the learning curve is fast and gentle.
