Made with Meraki Mastrogiannis Distillery Brings Grape-Based Spirits to North Bend
Mastrogiannis Distillery will open its first flagship tasting room in North Bend by late summer 2025, representing a key development for owner Ilias Mastrogiannis. Situated in the Sunset Garage, the space is designed to reflect the natural beauty of the Pacific Northwest while showcasing the distillery's artisanal products. As the first distillery in the Snoqualmie and North Bend area, it aims to enrich the local beverage scene by offering a unique tasting experience that includes grape-based spirits such as brandy and vermouth. Mastrogiannis plans a tasting flow that encourages visitors to explore local wines and breweries before enjoying their spirits. The design prioritizes customer experience, fostering a welcoming environment for social interaction.
This venture is rooted in Mastrogiannis's Greek heritage and the concept of Meraki, emphasizing creativity and passion in production. The distillery's focus on education will enhance visitors' appreciation of Washington's agricultural and winemaking traditions. Future plans include a production facility that will allow for tours and interactive experiences, solidifying its role in the community.
