[2025 Yilan Attraction] Travel Guide for Kavalan Distillery (Updated May)

#Taiwan Attractions #Yilan Attractions The brand Kavalan has suddenly become popular in the past few years! Maybe it’s because the price of Japanese whisky has risen to a point where it’s hard to get into! The King Car Whisky Distillery we visited this time is located in Yilan, a very nice area. Yilan has a great environment and natural resources, so its water is also of high quality. The most important thing for a distillery is water! So in addition to whiskey and beer, King Car actually has a Taiwanese coffee brand that originated from this factory! If you want to try Kavalan and see how it is made, then go there!

Just an hour by bus from Taipei City Hall to the retro hot spring town of Jiaoxi Hot Springs! While trains are available, taking the bus is recommended as it stops at Jiaoxi Hot Springs Park. You can enjoy a stroll through the park, which features forest baths and foot baths, before heading to the train station. The area retains traces of the Japanese colonial era, resembling Hakone with its array of hot spring hotels. Whether you choose to stay overnight or opt for a day trip, both are great options. On the way to the station, you'll find a delightful coffee shop serving delicious brews. Once you reach the station, hop on the local train for a few stops to Yilan Station, where a giraffe statue will greet you with a smile! In town, you can explore art installations while enjoying shopping for famous baked goods, tofu pudding, and local snacks. If the weather is pleasant, the nearby sea is worth a visit, and the Luodong Night Market, known for its delicious Sanxing green onions, is also a must-see. In recent years, the renowned whiskey distillery has become a popular attraction, accessible by bus or taxi (reservation required).

You can learn about the science of the theme brewery and take a physical tour. Recently, there will be an exhibition of artists' works based on the concept of "letter in a bottle". The whiskey tasting event is very suitable for friends who love drinking. The design of the wind and rain corridor provides spacious interior space, so you don’t have to worry about Yilan’s rainy weather. It is very suitable as a stop in Yilan! Kavalan is the old name of Yilan. King Car uses water from the Snow Mountain Range and breaks through climate and temperature restrictions with a flexible oak barrel strategy to brew Kavalan whisky, which once won the world whisky championship. The brewery is open to visitors for visits, including the production process, storage and wine tasting, so you can come and experience the unique Taiwanese whisky flavor.

King Car is a very beautiful factory that sells all kinds of King Car food. After visiting, I found that not only wine and coffee are King Car's products, but also instant noodles from the Olivier Hanbao series and Pocari Sweat are all King Car products. The factory is very spacious and you can stay there for more than 2 to 3 hours. It is free to visit and the air conditioning is very strong, which is suitable for the whole family to visit in summer. However, King Car's conference center is only open until 5 o'clock, and other buildings are open until 6 o'clock. There is a pink Christmas tree in the middle of the King Car Tourist Building. Although it is summer now, it would be very beautiful if you take photos during Christmas in winter. #KingCar #Wine #Coffee #FreeAttractions #100WaysToTravel

Located in Yuanshan Township, Yilan County, Taiwan, King Car Enterprises has set up the "King Car Kavalan Whisky Distillery" here. It is a tourist factory open to the public for free. It is currently well-known overseas. It is not difficult to find "KA VA LAN" whiskey in the duty-free shops of major airports. King Car Enterprises originally made coffee drinks and soft drinks, with related brands such as Mr. Brown Coffee and Bol Mineral Water. Later, it developed alcohol products. The reason for this is its unique geographical location. Under the Central Mountain Range and the Snow Mountain Range, there is an inexhaustible supply of clear springs...

This scene is a must-see attraction when visiting Yilan every year. Even though there are always slight changes, because the epidemic prevents people from traveling abroad, it has promoted the development of many local tourism. I look forward to having more facilities in the winery.
