Wayward Distillery is a Canadian craft distillery in the Comox Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia established in 2014. It is the first distillery in Canada to use honey as the base for all of its spirits combining traditional distilling methods with innovative practices to produce a unique range of alcoholic beverages.
The Wayward product lineup includes their signature Unruly Vodka and Unruly Gin, both created to highlight the subtle sweetness and complexity derived from honey. Wayward donates 1% of all spirit sales to Pollinator Partnership Canada, thus supporting the protection and promotion of bees and other pollinators. Customers can visit their tasting room, which is open daily to sample and purchase spirits. Additionally, the products are available at select private liquor stores, farmers’ markets, and through the online store.
