SFR offers a full range of corporate event formats to suit different group sizes, occasions, and goals. Options include private guided tasting flights, hands-on cocktail masterclasses, barrel bottling experiences where your team selects and labels spirit directly from an SFR barrel, distillery tour and tasting combos, and private dining experiences with spirits paired to every course. For larger or more tailored bookings, custom branded events with company-labelled bottles are also available. Every experience is hosted at our working distillery and lounge at 23-767 Silver Seven Road in Kanata — a setting that does the heavy lifting before the first pour is even poured.

It's one of the most common reasons groups book with us — and consistently one of the most well-received. For client entertainment, a private tasting or spirit pairing dinner at an actual working craft distillery is a significant step up from a restaurant booking or hotel function room. For team building, the cocktail masterclass and barrel bottling experience are the standout options — hands-on, genuinely engaging, and the kind of thing people still talk about weeks later. SFR also works well for company celebrations, milestone events, offsite meetings, and year-end gatherings where the goal is an occasion that actually feels like one.

Every corporate experience at SFR features our full small-batch lineup, made on-site at our Kanata distillery. Your guests will have the chance to taste our corn-forward oak-aged whisky, our juniper-led dry gin, our charcoal-filtered wheat vodka, and all three of our handcrafted liqueurs — Jacked Chili, Trickster's Orange, and Monk's Secret Herbal. The liqueurs in particular tend to be the conversation starters of the evening — bold, unexpected, and always the pours guests mention after the event. If your group is doing a cocktail masterclass, the gin and vodka anchor most of the builds, while the whisky anchors the tasting flights.

The best way to get started is to send an enquiry through our contact page at sfrdistillery.com. From there, our team will work with you to understand your group's size, preferred date, occasion, and what kind of experience you're looking for — whether that's a two-hour tasting or a full custom evening. Because our private event space is in an active working distillery, availability is limited and dates fill up, particularly around the fall and holiday season. Getting in touch at least a few weeks in advance is recommended, and further ahead for larger or more customised bookings. Corporate gifting add-ons — branded bottles and SFR gift cards for attendees — can also be arranged at the time of booking.
