10 years of Wayward

From a wild dream fuelled by passion (and maybe a little too much rum), Wayward Distillery has grown into something bigger than we ever imagined. But this milestone isn’t just about us—it’s about you. Every bottle you’ve bought, every visit to the tasting room, every tag on social media, and every word of support has made this incredible journey possible. Let’s make the next 10 years even more unruly together!

It’s been a wild, unruly, and honey-sweet decade, and we’re celebrating you—the community that made it all possible.

Join Dave (Founder), Sara (General Manager), and Laura (Head Distiller) in a hilarious and heartfelt look back at ten incredible years in our Wayward Drunk History video below.

10 years of support

Thank you to our customers and fans for believing in us and enthusiastically choosing Wayward. To our local farmers and producers, thank you for providing the quality ingredients that make every Wayward spirit extraordinary. Thank you to our partners and suppliers for sharing our vision and helping us grow. To our incredible team, friends, family, and loved ones, thank you for cheering us on every step of the way.

We couldn’t have done it without you, and we are endlessly grateful for your role in our unruly journey.

10 years of impact

We’re not just celebrating a 10-year milestone—we’re celebrating a movement.

As Canada’s first distillery to be a Living Wage Employer, becoming a Rainbow Registered Business, our 1% promise to Pollinator Partnership Canada, our sustainability projects, community advocacy, and our commitment to sourcing locally made ingredients, we’ve spent the past decade creating spirits that not only taste amazing but also make an impact.

Let’s keep going!

Keep us making your favourite spirits by visiting our tasting room in the Comox Valley, shopping online with shipping across Canada, and asking your local liquor store to stock Wayward.

Follow us on Instagram and Facebook, tag us in your cocktail adventures, and tell your friends about your favourite Unruly spirits.

You’ve been the heart of this adventure—let’s make the next 10 years even bolder, sweeter, and Wayward-er.
