Glenora Inn & Distillery

Lonely Planet may earn a commission from affiliate links on our site. All recommendations and reviews reflect our own independent opinions.

The first distillery in North America (and the only one in Canada) to make single-malt whisky, this renowned producer claims to take its secrets straight from the old country. Guided tours explore the process and include an all-important tasting.

The distillery also has its own pub (mains $12 to $17) and a fine-dining warehouse restaurant (mains $32 to $47). From June to October you can catch a ceilidh (party with music and dancing) at lunch or dinner. There are also attractive rooms ($189 to $319), either in the original inn or in a separate lodge, as well as a selection of self-contained timber chalets (from $359).
