Falls Church Distillers is an award-winning, family-owned distillery crafting small-batch, ultra-premium spirits including vodka, gin, rum, brandy, and whiskey. Founded by the Paluzzi family in the Virginia suburbs just outside Washington, D.C., the distillery combines generations of tradition, business expertise, and scientific knowledge to create uniquely smooth and flavorful spirits.
With roots in a small Northeastern town steeped in Italian heritage, the Paluzzi family brings a deep appreciation for artisanal food, wine, and spirits. The family’s combined experience—spanning business, chemistry, and service in the U.S. Air Force—fuels their approach to craft spirits.
Currently based in Manassas, Virginia, Falls Church Distillers operates as a production facility, with products available at Virginia ABC Stores, select restaurants, and through ready-to-drink offerings. In 2024, the family expanded, acquiring nearly 17 acres in Culpeper and Madison Counties, marking an exciting next chapter in the distillery’s growth.
