Reviews of Black Fox Farm and Distillery (Winery)

Keenan Cloutier

Wonderfully unique spirits made with local ingredients. Each gin I've had there is fantastic and their new whiskey is one of the best I've ever had. Staff is always super friendly and helpful, never too pushy, and knows so much about the products. Spring to fall they often have outdoor activities on the grounds and it's a wonderful place to spend an afternoon.

Matt Harder

Great family run place sourcing local ingredients, beautiful facility/grounds, and some of the best gin you can buy.

We had a fantastic time for our tour today @ Black Fox Farm and Distillery. Micheal was great in introducing us when we arrived to serve us drinks and give us insight on the distillery. Meghan was also great being our hostess for our tour and teaching us the history of the distillery and giving us the grand tour of the operation. There were lots of sampling of their great liqueurs and gins. What a fantastic afternoon we had on our tour. Thank you very much!!!

Steven Evans

Greg Abramoff

Really fun place to stop in. Tastings are good, the u-pick flowers is great. Love being able to see the fancy distillery.

Jonrod Axle “Rhodygreat” Suldan

Good taste, smooth to drink,Gin product

AWESOME! Terrific liqueur tasting and beautiful set up!

Tianna Panizzon

Our trip to Black Fox was a fantastic afternoon trip! Megan was such a joy to learn from and chat with during our tasting. The surrounding grounds, especially with the new flower garden, are a beautiful place to escape the city for a drink. Regarding their gin products, I absolutely cannot pick a favorite!! Each of their varieties has a distinct, but very real, authentic flavor that only comes with the highest standard of care given to each and every batch of gin they produce. There is a reason they've already won so many awards! That being said, whether they win awards or not, they should be very proud of the products they have achieved. You can tell the difference just after one sip how lucky we are to have Black Fox Distillery as another representative of world class Canadian spirits!

Tanys Haye

A great place to visit in the summer and fall months. The gin and tonic in the fields is a great way to spend Wednesdays in the summer months. Their pumpkin fest is a hit with both adults and children. It was so fun picking our own pumpkins for carving!

Rita S

Amazing picnic experience. Only thing I suggest is offer vegetarian options in place of the beef jerky (not sure if they do, I didn't see the option for it) Great views, vibes and cocktails. I picked up a few bottles of gin as gifts and loved the Fever Tree tonic. Will be back for the flower u pick. The staff are beyond wonderful and provide excellent hospitality. I'd recommend this place to anybody.

We had a group tour of the farm and distillery. Everything about this place is beautiful - from the fields of flowers to the copper still. We sampled many of the wonderful products they make on site. The gins are unique and very tasty, but it was the Crème de Cassis we really fell in love with. There was something for everyone, and our hosts were friendly and knowledgeable. This place should not be missed - I can't wait for our next visit!

Haylee Gustafson

This was a beautiful location for the wedding I attended.

Great pleasure to pick the beautiful flowers. wish there would be much more of it.

Daryl Uhrin

A must see just out side of Saskatoon

Lorna Penrice

Always a great place to go

Krista Powell

Great place for a pumpkin festival!

I've heard it before, "I'm not a gin drinker." Well, I'm not a gin drinker either, unless it comes from Black Fox Distillery on Valley Road. This is not some mass-produced, lighter-fluid the liquor store sells as gin. No no....this is the gin you drink because there is a special moment to share with someone. It's the gin you drink when you are introducing someone to gin for the first time so they will forever have a high standard. It's the gin you drink because nothing else will do... Black Fox has an assortment of gin from which to select. You will be fine with any of them. I prefer my gin on the rocks (see photo) if I'm pulling the bottle off the shelf, or, straight up if the bottle has been kept in the freezer (proper storage for gin and vodka). You want it to be slightly chilled. Once you've poured yourself a glass of juniper elixir, take a moment to swirl it in your cup. Inhale the botanical complexity of this product, and picture the pumpkin flowers infused in it's taste bouquet. Then, have a sip of that smooth, warm liquid and enjoy it as it glides down toward your heart and hugs you from the inside.

Corinne Rollheiser

Great place, had a wonderful gin day. Awesome drinks on the patio.

Brian & Mariela Fagan

Very enjoyable afternoon at Black Fox Farm. We bought flowers, fresh picked, as well as Gladiolus in 7 different colors. Some raspberry liquore and fresh honey.

Kevin Shores

Friendly and helpful folks here. Everything I tried was delicious also.

Edward Allen

Nice enough, but a little underwhelming (and pricey too!)

Adelle Robin

Having Barb and Co. design our wedding bouquets was a wonderful experience! They were amazing and made it so easy to order everything.

Janessa Irene

We stopped here on the way home from brunch and Sarah was our helper for the day. She talked to us, helped us choose what we would like based on our preferences and was a pleasure overall to deal with. Will be back for sure!

Alexander Hupé

Had the pleasure of sampling the fine assortment of this company's gin the past several weeks. Simply put, it is the smoothest and tastiest I have ever come of across. The mustard and haskap varieties in particular are delicious and it has given me great pleasure to share these unique gins with friends and family. Look forward to getting my hands on some more and hope to see the product in Manitoba soon. 5 out of 5 stars!

Mark Hughes

Award winning gin, great service, and a great product

Vikki Fairweather

Excellent service, a beautiful place, I dont really drink alcohol but was pleasantly surprised, my favorite was the cucumber gin. We didn't have time to explore but will definitely be making a trip back!

Tamara Schuler

Amazing experience. Loved the Peonie garden! And the drinks!

Douglas DeWeert

try the raspberry liquor very unique and worth the trip

Mitch Espares

Its beautiful here and staff are all friendly and very accomodating.

Kayla Giesbrecht

I had my wedding photos done here and it was perfect! Barb went through everything with me and had everything ready to be picked up the morning of my wedding and it looked beautiful. I was thankful that I didn't have to worry about planning the flowers amidst everything else!

Geeta Singh

Thanks for the treat❤️ Loved the environment!

C Mc

Great product, like the sustainable farming.

Phil Martyn

Great tasting room, some unique gin and liquorer options. Top rate service and a great experience.

Jasmine Hanson

Love their seasonal attractions/activities like wildflower picking & the pumpkin patch.

Adam M

Very friendly staff. There's a nice shaded area to enjoy your drinks which I've heard is new. ???? Superb cocktails, products, and atmosphere. We even lucked out and caught some live music during our visit. A great way to spend a relaxing afternoon just out of the city.

Morden & friendly folks

Janna Papagianis

We ordered our wedding flowers from here and loved them! They turned out to be more than we could've dreamed of and we loved the idea of shopping local and having local flowers in our bouquets. I provided a few photos of bouquets and boutonnières I liked and they used the photos to inspire their creations which turned out better than the photos I provided. I would highly recommend them to anyone planning a wedding!

Pamela Duncombe

Beautiful place

Dustin Zhang

Barb and John are amazing! I loved everything about the tour, it was such an authentic and heartfelt experience. Listening to their story definitely added something to my life, to say nothing about the extraordinary drinks they make! Highly recommend.

D Enright

Fantastic! Samples, vibe, products are amazing! Staff and owners are way above the normal for service, knowledge and efficiency.

Peter Voldeng

Great place for a group event. Unique experence.

Mark Aberdeen

Amazing products for such a new distillery. Great variety, well made products, and week with the trip. Congrats on the world's best oak gin!

Kevin Toews

Cool little local distillery. Some very interesting and good gin and liqueurs.

Glen Redden

I took a tour of the distillery and the proprietor is warm and welcoming. This is a very picturesque spot for an event. Black Fox oaked gin is the best oaked gin that I have sampled including many from B.C.

Erin Flory

We did the full tasting and it was among the best tastings I have ever done. Our host was hilarious and informative. The raspberry liqueur is UNREAL!

Mackenzie Lecuyer

Absolutely beautiful.

Little Manitou Art Gallery

My favorite place to visit! Beautiful yards, lovely gardens, friendly people and smooth gin. Games for the kids and space to relax. Definitely top of my recommend-you-go list. I'm also grateful to Barb and John for the onsite Gin Cocktail Bar they bring to Little Manitou Art Gallery once a year. Thank you for your support and collaboration.

william h

Great people Barb and John. Got a tour and saw the passion for their business,keep it up.

Dana Wegren-Riley

Great local experience for families! Local agriculture is so important to Saskatchewan economy and the Cote family is doing it the best! Personally, I enjoy their gin the best, give it a try!

Michael Berliner

Our group did a tasting there and I couldn’t recommend it more. Not only was the gin out of this world, but the story and overall experience as better than I could have imagined 10/10!!

jay sameh

Was a little disappointed because I’ve heard such great things. We went for the u pick and found that most of the flowers were dead or super picked over. I’m assuming they didn’t have much come up due to drought, and it is nearing the end of the season. However I felt if it was this scarce they should maybe not allow for slots this late. The staff were very friendly & informative and the property was well kept and I’m assuming any other year this would be a great place to visit.

Lorrie Kalmikov

Distillery had pleasant, knowledgeable staff, The flower gardens were an added treat. ,

Brooke Parisien

We were married in 2016 at Black Fox Farm & Distillery. Barb and her family went above and beyond to take care of all the ceremony details. They provided us gorgeous flowers and a beautiful venue. Barb always made time to discuss wedding plans with me, and was very accommodating for our unusual requests. My husband and I are glad we chose this establishment for the biggest day of lives!

Claire Hadder

This was such a fun activity to do with my sisters, picking flowers in the summer then a cocktail afterwards :)

M S

Went to the distillery with a group and I really loved it. The staff was just amazingly friendly and the gin really tasty. The owner came as well and explained us the still. Can highly recommend to visit whenever possible.

Mary Ellen Hodgins

What a fantastic gin! And the hint of flowers from your field makes it even more enjoyable. Perfect to have while relaxing sitting on the deck enjoying the sun and mountains!

Glen

This place has alot of events that families and adult groups can enjoy. Great place to take someone for a date. So far I have Enjoyed the pumpkin patch, and the Gladiola harvest. If spirit tasting is your thing you will enjoy the environment.I have a bottle of their oaked gin in my liquor cabinet delicious!! And the staff are friendly and down to earth allowing for a great experience.

Dianne Morozoff

We tried the Haskap Gin. Michael, the bar tender, was very informative and friendly. Meghan , the events coordinator, was wonderful and eager to share her experiences at Bkackfox. We also sampled the raspberry gin. Both of these products were excellent. This is a beautiful venue.

gl Boyle

Amazing product beautiful distillery everyone should come out and see it

Bryan Muir

Had a great time ... no one there it was super personal tour ...

amanda reid

I received flowers from here for my wedding last year and they were absolutely beautiful! I was so happy with them :)

D. Tanasychuk

An absolutely lovely local business that is welcoming by Barb and her staff. The landscapes and flora are so picturesque. Black Fox truly is a real local gem that you should go out and enjoy. This is an immediate favorite of my wife's and mine. Absolutely gorgeous and worth visiting several times in a summer, not just once! You absolutely need to go visit Black Fox!

Mahesh K

Nice place for family outing and very good distillery products..helpful staff in wine/liquor tasting place!!

Penny Masear

Black Fox Farm & Distillery hosted a birthday party for my sister this past weekend. We had not had an opportunity to tour their operation until last Saturday. We had a wonderful time! The caterer, Caboose Catering was incredible, the gin and the liqueurs were amazing and the owners were great hosts! I would highly recommend anyone to visit and check out the the farm and distillery. They are incredible hosts and also put on a Lilac Festival, a Lily Festival and a Pumpkin Festival through the season that you don't want to miss out on! You won't be sorry you did!

Chris

You've got to try their Gins and their liqueurs. The lady working the tasting bar was really friendly. Highly recommended

Debra Wiegers

I had the pleasure of attending the Field of Stars event at Ag In Motion and for the first time, I tried your gin products that you were offering there. The product itself was excellent...very smooth! And the service from the gals exceptional! I will definitely be purchasing your product and as the gals encouraged me, will be visiting your location for a taste tasting and tour. Congrats John and Barb for putting your business and Saskatoon on the map!

Morgan Cote

Have received flowers from here multiple times, they were absolutely stunning. Each time they lasted about a week, probably would've lasted longer if I remember to change the water like they said to.

Laura K

Such an amazing assortment of flowers! Definitely recommend for a date idea

Ceris Thomas

Enjoy my every time I go!

Kat Matlock

Love everything made by Black Fox, and visiting them is a treat. The staff is so friendly, helpful, and makes you feel at home. Looking forward to my next visit!

mark brosinsky

Very nice place

Raihanah Safi

Good I enjoy pick flowers nice place

Dave Dave

Went for the pumpkin festival. Nice grounds. Friendly staff.

Jordan William

Went on a Saturday with a group Of friends for drinks. As soon as we got there it was pretty chaotic, we didn’t know where to go and there was no one to ask questions besides bartenders at two separate bars with long lines, one indoors and one out. Stood in line at the indoor bar to ask about the reservation we made and the bartender said you just get a drink from the bar outside and sit at a table. Don’t know why they take reservation because it’s pretty come and go and there is no one there to serve you. My group and I didn’t feel like standing in the 20 + person line for a drink or to sit at the backyard bbq style tables on the lawn. We just jump in our cars and left disappointed.

Ronda Calder

Great ambiance and service! The gins and cocktails were delicious

Stephanie Doran

The live music was nice but it was like being seated on a driveway pad. Disappointing considering all the other possible places to seat people. $30 for thier whiskey flight than was 1/2oz of 3 different kinds. Very overpriced. Might be nice to pick your own flowers in the summer.

James Rolston

Very good!

Sean P

Well..... At first I was upset to find you had to pay for parking, but it was worth it! Today was their annual pumpkin celebration. The staff is very friendly and inviting. The grounds are really well kept by a cool dude who is friendly. They had activities set up for kids and magic was in the air. Beautiful flowers growing from the earth. Rows of fresh pumpkin and other fruits and vegetables. Such as rhubarb. Enjoy a nice cocktail at there tasting bar and enjoy scenic views all around. But bring cash they have alot of staff to pay and obviously some serious bills which such a well kept place. Thanks for sharing love. I'll be back

Sean Hayes

The tour was amazing. The lady was very knowledgable and the gin is amazing. Very clean flavours.

Dominic Olver

Best outside experience in saskatoon. Just gin cocktails and district beer but they have food too. Really nice since you can walk around the farm and check out their gardens.

Sandi Walls

Went for a lily festival, kind of unorganized, but would like to visit outside an event, although I hear the pumpkin ???? patch/maze is awesome

Louise Robert

Very lovely walk. The flowers were beautiful.

Ashley P

I was at this location for their lilly festival. They had live music and a few vendors of hand made goods. They had a few things for drinks or baked treats. You can have alcohol here. People working here seem nice. The brewery inside looks nice and clean but you can't tour it. I would have liked a clear sign on how the Lilly buying works and more food options. I'm sure they'll fix the small things over time.

Yvonne L

Megan was very helpful and knowledgeable and had outstanding customer service. We will be back to see her.

Tracy Morgan

Had a wonderful time at the tasting! Top notch spirits in a really beautiful setting. Everything we tasted was excellent, I can fully appreciate how they have won so many awards. Really great Sask made products!

Karen Cole

We Just picked up a bottle of SE-11Blended Whiskey. This one is for our son, who lives in Scotland, he LOVES his whiskey. It will be heading back home to Scotland with him once he gets too visit us here again, hopefully soon. So now ive just ordered another bottle for ourselves to keep here in Saskatoon. Thank you to the girls in the Distillery for all their help.

Jac R

Great staff, beautiful flowers and we love their distillery products!

Aaron Rohrke

I purchased the dark, Oaked gin that won the "World's Best Gin" award. It is absolutely sensational! The only issue is that my wife also likes it... 5 stars!

Lexi Whitter

We ordered the flowers for our wedding in September from Black Fox and we loved them! In total, we ordered 3 bouquets, 9 corsages/boutonnieres, two boxes for the ceremony area and then a bucket of loose flowers to fill our centerpieces with. I didn't really know what I wanted so I gave them a general colour scheme to work. There was a slight hiccup or two when my dad went to pick up the flowers but everything was straightened out quickly and worked out fine! We would definitely recommend Black Fox Farm & Distillery.

Gary B.

Great liqueurs! Barb and John are just amazing people! Well worth the visit!

Colleen Steele

Tierra Del Sol did our wedding flowers and they were absolutely stunning. They were exactly what we wanted: simple, elegant, and affordable. Barb and Leslie make the process incredibly fun and I won't go anywhere else for flowers.

Myra Bossaer

Had a wonderful afternoon at Black Fox, enjoying some delicious gin cocktails and picking flowers from the peony garden. I can’t wait to go back to pick some gladioli when they are in bloom!

Kelly Bueckert

First time out there and wow what great place so beautiful out there and they have great tasting gin . Next time I will have to get some whiskey ,also don't forget about the super friendly and helpful staff.

Jim Henderson

Arrived and were completely ignored. Looked around for a few minutes before asking a question and receiving a terse response. Did not feel welcome at all so decided to go spend our money elsewhere.

Kennedy Theriault

I came in only a month before my wedding and they were able to put together beautiful centre pieces as well as bouquets for me and my girls. The arrangements were stunning and beyond anything I could ever ask for. Service was amazing and they really went above and beyond for me.

Kathryn Palmer

We used Black Fox Farm for our wedding flowers (bouquets, boutonnieres, centerpiece flowers, and centerpiece greenery). They were absolutely amazing to work with and everything they provided was perfect. You need to be a bit flexible in order to use plants that are in season for your wedding date, but its definitely worth it to use locally grown flowers!
