About
Rock 12 Distillery is the Santa Rita Hills' first farm-to-glass distillery, founded in 2016 by Sarah and Marko Suput on a former llama farm. They craft small-batch vodka, gin, and brandy from Santa Barbara County fruit using a traditional Serbian hand-made copper kettle still fired over open flame. The tasting room offers spirit flights and seasonal craft cocktails in a dog-friendly, outside-food-friendly space.
