I had driven by this distillery many times and had no idea it was even there, but inside it was amazing! And the guy who owns the place is a real showman who kept us entertained the whole time, as well as teaching us much about the distilling industry. On top of that, we got to try all of their products, and all were top notch. All in all, I highly recommend the distillery tour for an entertaining evening.

This is not the Top of The Hill brewery or restaurant so don't expect fancy or meals. This is the organic distillery. TOPO distills organic wheat into vodka, whisky and rum. We made an appointment ahead of time and were immediately served a local brewed beer. When everyone had gathered (they try to get groups) we toured the distillery with one of the distillers. This is a very small operation, very organic and handmade product. We learned so much and then had a tasting of their excellent spirits. No sales pressure just learning and tasting. Nothing fancy but what fun. Used a groupon - well worth it.

On the website it says you can walk in between 9-5 Mon-Fri. We tried to go on a Thursday afternoon but it wasn't open. The parking is only paid parking so we had to pay to park before we tried the door. Lesson learned. Call before you go. Sad we couldn't try the rum!

We're so sorry we missed you! The distillers were in the back and did not hear the doorbell. Give me a shout and we'll make sure we're waiting on you for another visit; we'll give ya something a little special as an apology. Esteban (919) 656-6700

We were in Chapel Hill for a sporting event at UNC. We ate at the Top of the Hill and the food was excellent! Our group tried several of the beer choices and no one was disappointed. Close enough that we could park nearby and walk everywhere we needed to go.

Went with some friends to the Friday night distillery tour. Great hands on experience by the owners of the distillery, same people that have the restaurant & micro brewery. Took us through all the stages of distilling and then a taste test of various commercial liquors, some good & some not so good alongside their 100% organic range. They are producing a great product which you can really taste the difference. Worth visiting.

Everything about this tour was top notch. As soon as I booked it through AirBnB, Esteban reaches out to see if there was anything I needed. He changed the number in my party for me, made dinner reservations, checked back with me- total concierge service! The tour (Scott, the owner did it) was interesting, informative and fun. The spirits were incredible and we left with a case. I can not recommend it enough!

I live about an hour away, but had never been to this place so highly regarded by the locals. So many great reviews of this place already! We really enjoyed the beer sampler overlooking the quaint and entertaining streets below. The Lizard Chips were pretty good and the Jambalaya was terrific. Recommended!

Last summer, with my family and friends, we enjoyed several evenings drinking good beers in the shade.
