Welcome...

Miles & I started Charbay back in 1983.  We ferment and distill an assortment of wines, ports, spirits  (vodkas, rums, whiskey, pastis, liqueurs) and now even tequila! Small releases that find their way around the world because friends like to share with friends. 

Miles, a 12th generation European winemaker & Grand Master Distiller, has always been a maverick in his field. Now his enthusiasm and wisdom fuels son Marko as generation 13. Marko & his wife, Jenni, add a fresh spark to the quality that Charbay stands for.

Charbay Brandy N0.83
 
Robb Report: Best of the Best, Spirits 2011

"...an unbelievable brandy and well worth the accolades.
Extremely limited in quantity, his artisan brandy is a velvet tapestry of cherry, chocolate, citrus, and marzipan, with a hint of walnut on the finish.”  Richard Carleton Hacker
