Bassano is little more than an hour from Alberta's largest market: Calgary and it's 1.3 million thirsty residents. Located on the Trans-Canada Highway and in the middle of the Eastern Irrigation District, which provides water to over 300,000 acres of productive farmland. With access to locally-grown, abundant and high-quality crops, a strong marketplace, and commercial real estate on Canada's busiest highway, there is a strong business case for a Bassano-based distillery.
