What opened in November as The California Fruit Wine Co. will celebrate its overdue grand opening June 23–25, but under the newly re-branded name, FruitCraft Fermentery & Distillery.
Alan Haghighi, who co-founded the business with his brother, Brian, told Gay San Diego they recently began producing spirits from fermented fruits as well. Known as eau de vie, the brandies are currently available in flights and craft cocktails at the establishment in four varieties — mango, pineapple, cranberry and pomegranate.
“We’ve been making improvements to the space and expanding our offerings since last year,” he said, adding that the spirits will also be bottled and ready for retail sales in time for the grand opening. 1477 University Ave., 877-484-6282, fruitcraft.com.
