Phase one of Seersucker Distillery was completed in February 2018 followed by a soft opening to the public. Phase two of the remodel marks the completion of “The Grand Lawn” which includes a turf court for bocce ball, cornhole and washers and a dedicated area for food trucks. Seersucker Distillery’s Cinco de Derby Party is the first largescale public unveiling of the completed indoor Tasting Room and outdoor spaces.
