Set against the rolling countryside of Waterloo Region, the Willibald Farm Experience offers chefs and culinary professionals an immersive look at a truly integrated farm-to-glass operation. This tour brings together agriculture, craftsmanship, and flavour, providing insight into how great ingredients are grown, transformed, and ultimately enjoyed.

The experience begins with a guided farm tour, where you’ll explore the land that anchors Willibald’s philosophy. Learn how the farm’s practices support quality, sustainability, and seasonality, and how those principles influence everything produced on site—from food to spirits. Walking the grounds offers a deeper appreciation for the relationship between soil, crops, and flavour, setting the stage for what’s to come.

Following the farm tour, guests will gather for a lunch featuring some of Willibald’s most sought-after menu items. Thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, the menu highlights ingredients that reflect the farm’s character and the surrounding region. This relaxed, communal meal offers the opportunity to connect with fellow chefs, exchange ideas, and experience firsthand how Willibald’s products shine on the plate.

After lunch, the focus shifts to the distillery, where you’ll be guided through the process that transforms raw agricultural ingredients into distinctive spirits. Learn about production methods, flavour development, and the attention to detail that defines Willibald’s beverages. The tour continues into the bottle shop, offering a closer look at the finished products and the story behind the brand.

The experience concludes with a guided tasting of select Willibald beverages, allowing guests to explore a range of flavours and styles while gaining insight into how these spirits can be paired, featured, or incorporated into culinary programs. It’s an engaging and flavour-forward finale that ties the entire experience together—from field to fork to glass.
