Gia Distillery & Nonno Nino Winery
Rockingham County, NCGia Distillery, Inc. is a small boutique distillery located in a train station built in 1895 in the small town of Madison, NC.
One of the owners grew up in Sicily and the other comes from Asheville, NC. Both have been making wine and beer for the last 40 years and have parlayed that experience now into distilling where they are now able to add their hand-crafted touch.
Everything from crushing the grapes/grain, fermentation, distilling and bottling is done by hand, with no automated systems. This extra work and effort shine through with an exceptional set of products that offer quality and perfection.
