DIDA'S DISTILLERY

Dida's Distillery is a Virginia Distillery attached to our farm winery, Rappahannock Cellars. We specialize in craft distilling 100% Grape-Based Spirits like Brandy, Vodka, and Gin from small batches of our world-famous wines... In 1906, our Great-Grandfather Paul Mariani ("Dida", pronounced "did-uh", and Croatian for "Grandfather") immigrated to California from Croatia and began farming. His passion and hard work became a multi-generational legacy, eventually leading to the creation of the Mariani Fruit Packing Company; an enterprise still owned and operated by my uncle, Mark Mariani and his family today. In 1996, after learning of a budding wine scene in Virginia, my parents sold our California winery and headed east to build Rappahannock Cellars. In 2015, we set out to create the next generation of products from our wines through the art of distilling: 100% grape-based spirits. For nearly two decades here at Rappahannock Cellars, we've continued to celebrate one of Dida's most..
