  "textContent": "**ORLANDO, FL** — Gold Crest Distillery, a new craft distillery and tasting room concept from Mitch Patel, is targeting a June opening at 503 W Central Blvd, Orlando, FL 32801, Patel told Business Debut.\n\nBusiness Debut learned of this story first from What Now.\n\n## What to Expect\n\nThe concept centers on a small craft distillery paired with a tasting room designed to bring guests closer to the vodka-making process. Visitors will be able to participate in guided distillery tours, observe production using a copper still, and learn about ingredients, filtration, and distillation methods.\n\nThe approximately 8,000-square-foot space will include both production and guest experience areas, with tours and tastings operating alongside nearby events at the Kia Center and Exploria Stadium.\n\n## Menu and Vision\n\nThe focus is exclusively on vodka, with guided tastings and cocktails highlighting different expressions produced on site. There will be no restaurant component.\n\n“The idea is to combine production with education and hospitality,” Patel told Business Debut.\n\nPatel added that the goal is to give guests a clearer understanding of what goes into spirits production. “It gives people the opportunity to see what they’re drinking and understand the process behind it,” he told Business Debut.\n\n## Opening Timeline\n\nThe team is targeting a June opening.\n\n## Hours\n\nHours are to be announced. The distillery is expected to operate around major downtown events, offering pre- and post-event experiences.\n\n## Follow for More\n\nFollow on the website and Instagram.\n\n* * *\n\n### Opening a business?\n\nLearn how we distribute press releases to local readers daily at no cost!\n\nDrive community buzz with Business DebutWe aim to create local buzz before you even open.Business Debut | New Business Openings in the SoutheastRoss McWaters",
