TOURS & EVENT INFO
How long are your tours and do they include samples?
Regular daily tours resume June 1st. A behind-the-scenes tour of our historic building lasts 45 minutes. These tours are bookable online.

Tours take place in the Quarrie Room and guests are invited to sample our products while admiring our newest still, Ruby.

COVID PROTOCOLS
What COVID protocols are in place at Ironworks?
Our staff are all fully vaccinated and masked at all times. We provide free masks for any visitors who do not have one with them. Our sampling service is restricted to fully vaccinated customers only at the moment. Plus, in light of the reality that COVID is an airborne virus, we are fortunate to be situated in a building that is 120 years old, with lots of big doors and windows (and. few cracks!), sitting beside the Atlantic Ocean, which means that we have perfect and constant air circulation!
In accordance with NS Public Health COVID regulations, we require all our guests who are taking our tours and guided tasting events to provide proof of full vaccination.
