Beau Bella Winery

Location: Leduc County (just west of Beaumont)
Signature Sips: Pear Wine, Saskatoon, Apple Blossom, Merlot
Why Visit: A romantic prairie winery with handcrafted fruit wines made on a generational farm. Crafted and bottled right on-site.
Bonus: Year-round tasting room and stunning rural views.

Tucked just west of Beaumont in Leduc County; Beau Bella brings the romance of wine country to Alberta. Their handcrafted fruit wines are made with love and local berries. Their lineup is as diverse as it is flavourful, offering everything from bold Merlot and Shiraz to delightfully fruit-forward sips like Pear, Strawberry Rhubarb, Saskatoon, Haskap, and Apple Blossom. 

Rooted in over 45 years of farming tradition, Beau Bella Winery is a beautiful example of Alberta’s agricultural story evolving into something truly delicious. This family-run gem transformed a generational farm into a flourishing winery — where fields of fruit now pour into bottles of handcrafted wine.

All wines are crafted and bottled right on-site using traditional techniques with a sustainable twist — including a full-circle lifecycle approach that honours the land as much as the palate. The tasting room is open year-round for visitors ready to sip, swirl, and savour, or you can order online and pick up a piece of the prairie to enjoy at home.

Rig Hand Distillery

Location: Leduc County (near the airport)
Signature Sips: Vodka, Whisky, Kikawinaw Sparkling Tea Gin
Why Visit: Alberta’s first grain-to-glass craft distillery in the region. Every bottle pays tribute to local farms, history, and culture.
Bonus: Iconic oil rig bottle, cultural events, and full moon gatherings.

This award-winning, family-run distillery is a true Alberta icon. From vodka and gin to whisky and coffee cream liqueur, they bottle Alberta’s bounty — and spirit. Their tasting room is a must-visit, and their wide variety of events mix culture, storytelling, and cocktails in the best kind of way. Just minutes from the City of Edmonton’s airport (YEG), Rig Hand Distillery is more than a place—it’s a living, breathing celebration of Alberta and extends its visitors to the Edmonton region.

Founded in December 2014 (when Alberta finally lifted restrictive craft production caps), this family-operated distillery—led by Geoff and Karen Stewart—was a bold first in the Edmonton region. Rig Hand crafts every drop using local grain. Wheat, barley, and rye are sourced from nearby farms—some fields lie just a few miles from the distillery itself. This close‑to‑home sourcing is not just practical; it’s intentional. The Stewart family and their team want visitors to walk the fields, trace a grain’s path, and taste that full Alberta story. Their operation follows strict grain-to-glass methods: mashing, fermenting, distilling, and flavouring—all under one roof.

Tours and tastings make the process transparent and immersive. The distillery’s iconic bottle design—a mini replica of the historic Leduc #1 oil rig—pays tribute to Alberta’s pioneering history in both farming and energy. Rig Hand is deeply rooted in local values. They support Indigenous reconciliation by sharing ownership and collaborating on products (like the award-winning Kikawinaw sparkling gin tea), with a portion of proceeds supporting families of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women and Girls.

Their location also includes event space for country music, meditation sessions, Full Moon gatherings, and even educational exhibits on alcohol’s impact in Indigenous communities. Rig Hand Distillery is a local gem— it’s a place where craft, community, culture, and land come together—literally from farm to flask.

Nestled in Leduc’s Downtown District on Main Street in Leduc, Alberta, Leduc Brewing Company is the city’s first and only craft brewery—a community-minded gathering spot where folks come together over great beer and good times. Originally launched in February 2023, it was built around a dream—to offer local craft beer right here at home, with a sleek modern taproom and an onsite canning line capable of producing over 200 hectolitres a month (that’s 40,000+ cans!) They’re proud to use ingredients sourced from Alberta farms—malts, hops, and grains that local growers produce—reinforcing the bond between brewery and countryside. Spent grains are even returned to those farms, closing the sustainability loop.

Tours—led by their head brewer—offer a chance to taste raw malts, explore the brew system, and sample freshly drawn beer on the spot. The team behind it reads like a small-town story: Eric Schrader (the Beer Captain) envisioned bringing the dream to life, Brewmaster Shawna Middleton crafts with joy, Michelle Schwengler guides events and marketing with art and humour, supported by Eli and Corinne keeping things rolling behind the scenes. Leduc Brewing prides itself on a rotating roster of approachable, creative and flavour-forward beers that tell a story of ingredients, identity, and experimentation. The taproom features polished concrete floors, warm string lighting, handmade tables, and plenty of board games, foosball, and shuffleboard. It’s a place to relax, play, and sip—a home away from home for locals and visitors alike.

Outside, a west-facing patio opens in warm months, pet‑friendly and bright—perfect for catching the sunset with a pint. Beyond beer, Leduc Brewing operates as an event hub—hosting trivia, trivia nights, paint nights, brewery tours during Alberta Open Farm Days, farmers markets and community fundraisers. They’ve committed to being more than a taproom—they’re a local social centre on Block50 plaza that keeps the community buzzing.

Old Station Honey & Mead

Location: New Sarepta, Leduc County
Signature Sips: Sparkling Raspberry Mead, Prairie Solstice
Why Visit: A cozy, historic firehall turned meadery offering ancient beverage traditions and local honey.
Bonus: U-picks, honey tastings, meaningful stories, and seasonal events.

Old Station Honey & Mead is a charming rural meadery nestled in New Sarepta, within Leduc County, and is housed in what used to be the community’s old fire station. They saved the building from demolition and transformed it into a centre for honey-derived delights— a heartfelt marriage to local history and craft beverage creation. Their mead is lovingly crafted using predominantly locally-sourced multi-floral honey—from their own hives and nearby beekeepers. They blend this with berries and herbs, creating both still and naturally sparkling meads. Everything from crisp, dry meads to aromatic, fruit-forward options like sparkling raspberry (“Miquelon”) and spiced blends such as “Prairie Solstice.” Inspired by ancient traditions—the world’s oldest fermented beverage—their fermentation method mirrors winemaking: honey-water “must” ferments, sometimes aged or carbonated. The outcome? Unique assets reflecting Alberta’s floral diversity. The meadery’s foundation in an old fire hall keeps New Sarepta’s heritage centre-stage and provides a welcoming, cozy setting. 

Guests can savour flights of mead, roam the tasting room or patio, and learn about beekeeping and fermentation. The on‑site store offers full bottles, honey jars, and light bites. They host public tours and seasonal events—like berry U-picks and honey education days—celebrating local agriculture and offering a slower-paced connection to rural life.

Badlands Distillery crafts distinctive corn‑based spirits that bring a fresh voice to Alberta’s beverage scene.

What sets them apart? They use high-quality, locally sourced Alberta corn — distilled, blended, and distilled again to achieve rich, gluten-free clarity and bold flavour. With roots in Appalachian technique, their team was trained by a Virginia moonshine expert, and they’ve kept that hands-on, “grain‑to‑glass” spirit alive. Their signature moonshines — like Alberta Joe, Apple Pie, Cherry, and more — are a playful twist on tradition, offering everything from peppercorn spice to coconut sweetness. Their Wasteland dry gin and corn-based vodka round things out, all while staying true to open-top fermentation, no chill-filtering, and deep flavour profiles.

Sea Change Brewing Co.

Location: City of Beaumont
Signature Sips: Prairie Fairy, Blonde Ale, Fruit Sours
Why Visit: Community-driven brewing with a punk rock soul and a passion for creativity.
Bonus: Artistic can designs, charitable collabs, laid-back taproom.

Sea Change Brewing Co. began in 2017, born from the passion of Edmonton-area musicians, artists, and beer lovers. With no big funding and no polished plan, this scrappy crew brought a DIY energy from the punk rock scene into the heart of craft brewing. Their name reflects that spirit of transformation—both personal and creative. 

From launching with a single blonde ale, they’ve grown into an award-winning staple of Alberta’s thriving craft scene—thanks to hard work, community collaboration, and a talent for brewing beers that are honest, approachable, and flavourful.  Now, visitors can sip their lineup at two welcoming taprooms—one in Edmonton’s “Happy Beer Street” district, and one in Beaumont—with each location sporting its unique food pairing vibe. Sea Change’s beers cover a wide spectrum—from crisp lagers to fruit‑forward sours—and each can is beautifully illustrated by their own designer-artists. Sea Change’s brewing method embraces transparency. Both taprooms have visible brewing tanks from Specific Mechanical Systems in B.C., letting guests peek into the brewing magic in action. 

Every batch is handcrafted with a balance of traditional style and creative flair. Their founders—musicians, artists, and beer nerds—take a consultative approach to branding, design, and even charitable giving, often collaborating with local radio stations, creatives, and non‑profits on special releases and labels. Generous by nature, they donate significant portions of select beer sales—like from Prairie Fairy and Joey Moss—to local charitable causes and support small businesses across Alberta. Sea Change Brewing Co. is as much about its beers as it is about people—artists, community builders, and everyday Canadians who believe good beer should taste great and do good. A pint here isn’t just a drink; it’s a micro-story of creativity, momentum, and Alberta pride.

Old Yale Brewing

Location: City of Beaumont
Signature Sips: Knotty Blonde, Moon Dance Mango Wheat
Why Visit: Massive indoor-outdoor taproom with food, fire pit vibes, and a full kitchen.
Bonus: Three patios, kid zone, and their iconic “Four Seasons” beer lineup.

With BC roots and Alberta ambitions, Old Yale’s Beaumont location is a great place to grab a flight and soak up the sunshine on their patio. Expect easy-drinking classics and small-town good vibes. Tucked into 11,000 sq ft of cozy, campfire-inspired space at 7201 49th Street, Old Yale Brewing Beaumont is more than just a brewery—it’s a gathering place designed for every type of guest: families, friends, sports fans, and adventure-seekers alike. With seating for 375 people, three sprawling patios, a games lodge, and a dedicated “Little Explorers” corner, it’s built for inclusive, spontaneous fun.

On tap you will find Four Season lineup includes crowd-pleasers like Beaumont Lite Lager, Knotty Blonde Ale, Off Trail Pale Ale, River Valley Amber, Fraser Valley Lager, Moon Dance Mango Wheat, West Coast IPA, and Sasquatch Stout. Plus, rotating taps: Sessionable Sours, Fruity, Classic, Hoppy, Experimental, Dark, Seltzer, and Hazy beers—plus limited releases to keep things fresh. The campfire-inspired menu rounds out the experience with burgers, pizzas, wings, poutines, bowls, brunch dishes, and shareable starters—perfect for enjoying a pint by your side.

Old Yale takes pride in a hands-on, quality-first approach. Their brewing process starts with malted barley from on-site silos, which is milled to unleash natural sugars. The grains are then mashed to convert starch into fermentable sugars, lautered to separate the wort, and boiled to deepen flavours and hop aromas. After a whirlpool step to clarify the liquid, it’s cooled and fermented in temperature-controlled tanks, then clarified, carbonated in brite tanks, and finally packaged into kegs, cans, or bottles. Founded in British Columbia in 1999, Old Yale has built a reputation for award-winning, craft-forward beer that celebrates outdoor spirit. The Beaumont location, opened in early 2025, truly feels like a local hometown favourite: it’s a place where Alberta pride meets the warm, welcoming atmosphere of a brand that’s grown up around craft and community.
