Next Stop: 🥃 Silverback Distillery 🦍 9374 Rockfish Valley Hwy, Afton, VA
22920
Upon arriving at Silverback, we took a photo with Titus
out front - which is a must! Then we headed inside
and were greeted by Christine! Our time with her was
fun and memorable! The set up is warm and welcoming
and the vibe is just what you’re looking for during a
day out! We can’t wait for you to stop in and enjoy
spending some time with them like we did! 🥰
Silverback Distillery began in 2014 when Christine and
Denver Riggleman opened their family-run distillery
along Route 151 in Nelson County. Inspired by a family
trip to Scotland, Christine developed an interest in
distilling, and the couple eventually brought their
dream to life in the Blue Ridge. The name “Silverback”
comes from a nickname Denver’s daughters gave him.
Today, Silverback is known for its small-batch spirits,
including bourbon, rye wh***ey, gin, and honey liqueur,
crafted with local ingredients and Blue Ridge
mountain water. Nestled along the Rockfish River,
Silverback has become a welcoming stop along Nelson
County’s Route 151 craft beverage trail. 😘
