Sugarfield Spirits, Wine, & Cider
|
|
The idea for Sugarfield began with a unique experience. On a trip to Oregon in 2011, founder Thomas Soltau fell in love with a family-owned distillery devoted to bottling an expression of Pacific Northwest fruit. The thought was started, what could we do in the south with the southern fruit.
After this trip, Thomas began exploring his new passion, moonlighting making liqueurs while working as a neonatologist in Baton Rouge by day. His background in medicine and chemistry equipped him with the skill to test thousands of flavors, blending local fruits and commercial spirits to find the perfect combinations.
Five years later in 2016, Thomas realized his efforts could grow into more than just a hobby. Sugarfield worked through the LSU business incubator. In 2018, He bought the land for the distillery in Gonzales and were distilling on-site by October of 2019. Sugarfield hosted its Grand Opening on January 4th of 2020.
From odes to backyard citrus season to Agricole-style rum, every Sugarfield spirit is an expression of Louisiana’s land and flavors. We use real, local ingredients including cane, sugar, and molasses sourced from Assumption Parish. We have deep respect and appreciation for the distilling process, and we give every batch of our spirits the attention and patience needed to create a high-quality product.
