Wayward Distillery

September 15th is always a fantastic day at Wayward because it’s our GM and official Distillery Mom, Sara’s birthday!

Sara means the world to us. She looks after our team and works hard behind the scenes to make sure your favourite spirits reach our distillery, local restaurants, pubs, shops, markets, and even your doorstep. Sara truly is the heart of Wayward, and we couldn't do this without her.

Join us in raising a glass, preferably gin, because, well, it is Sara. Happy birthday! 🍸

Made right here on Vancouver Island, including our brand-new October release of Krupnik Cream, just in time for the holidays.

We are a queer-owned and operated distillery and were the first in Canada to be officially accredited as Rainbow Registered by the Canadian Q***r Chamber of Commerce in our industry. We celebrate with Comox Valley Pride in June, August and every day. It’s baked into who we are as a company.

"We're a company that's engaged in the community, accepting of people around us, welcoming. One of the things I've learned is that this stuff isn't universal. But it is here." - Dave Brimacombe, Wayward Distillery
