Old Well Distillery

Old Well Distillery in Below – Gin, Whiskey, and Absinthe from the Well House

The Old Well Distillery in Below, a district of Wesenberg, is a unique small-batch craft distillery: Housed in a converted well house, the distiller works here with two copper stills and produces all spirits by hand—from award-winning gin and absinthe to whiskey and fruit brandy, as well as a wide variety of fruit and herbal liqueurs. All products are made in small batches and bottled on site.

Guided tours, tastings, and workshops at the distillery on Lake Woblitz

Visitors to the Old Well Distillery can expect more than just a look behind the scenes: Guided tours showcase the entire production process, tastings let you sample the freshest creations, and in workshops you can even create your own spirits. The distillery is located on a small peninsula called Below, right on Lake Woblitz—a natural setting that complements the facility’s tranquil atmosphere. Those who wish to stay longer can spend the night in the guest apartments on offer.

Old Well Distillery as a destination in Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania

Below is located in the heart of Mecklenburg-Western Pomerania, about an hour north of Berlin—and thus within easy reach of the Baltic Sea coast with its well-known destinations such as Rügen, Usedom, and Fischland-Darß-Zingst. Those exploring the coastal region and planning a detour inland will find an authentic experience off the beaten path at the Old Well Distillery. The combination of craftsmanship, nature, and regional culinary culture makes a visit here a worthwhile addition to any vacation in Mecklenburg.
