Golden Moon Distillery – Maison De La Vie, Ltd. was founded by Stephen Gould and Karen Knight in early 2008 specifically to produce premium hand-crafted herbal liquors and liqueurs using the best available herbs, spices and botanicals, and made with the same type of artisan production processes utilized by distillers making premium products in the mid-to-late 1800s.
The heart of Golden Moon Distillery is Mr. Gould’s world-class research library containing hundreds of rare books on distillation and related products and processes, some dating back to the 1500s. Most of the collection dates from the late 1700s to the early 1900s, though there are a few titles that are much older, or newer.
Maison De La Vie currently has four antique stills at our pilot plant in Golden.
Our stills date from the early to mid-1900’s.

Golden Moon Grappa
Golden Moon Colorado Grappa is distilled from the pomace (grape crushings) left over from the wine making process. Our pomace comes from select Colorado wineries and each batch of grappa is made using a single grape varietal from a single vineyard. We pick up the grapes from the wineries as they are being removed from the wine press, take them to the distillery and immediately begin processing them to insure that we capture the freshness of the fruit in our final product.
