Cultivated Cocktails Distillery is a local family-owned craft distillery and cocktail tavern in Asheville, North Carolina, producing award-winning small-batch spirits and serving them in thoughtfully designed cocktails.
From distilling rum and gin to mixing creative seasonal drinks, everything we do starts with handcrafted spirits and ends with an exceptional guest experience.
the Cultivated Difference
Most places serve cocktails. We cultivate them.
Cultivated Cocktails is built around a simple but rare idea:
the distillery and the cocktail program are one and the same.
Instead of building drinks around mass-produced liquor, we design spirits specifically for cocktails - creating flavor profiles that simply don’t exist anywhere else.
We also take the experience beyond the glass with:
-
House-distilled spirits
-
Creative cocktail flights and tasting experiences
-
Cocktail kits and recipes you can take home
-
A welcoming tavern environment built around community

Cocktails and food designed to be enjoyed together.
Alongside our cocktails, our kitchen offers a curated menu of elevated small plates, shareable bites, and flavor-forward dishes designed to complement the craft in every glass.
Each dish balances bold flavors, fresh ingredients, and approachable comfort -perfect for pairing with cocktails or enjoying with friends around the table.
Why Cultivate?
Because cocktails should start with better spirits.
Cultivated Cocktails was founded by the Howard family - Western North Carolina natives passionate about craft distilling and local collaboration.
Since 2012, the goal has been simple:
Create spirits worth sipping on their own, then turn them into cocktails that showcase what craft distillation can really do.
