Waypoint Gin

Spirit of Whistler

Inspired by the ancient trading routes of the Squamish and Lil’wat Nations, Waypoint captures the essence of Whistler as a timeless gathering place, where past and present converge. Just as this destination once served as a vital waypoint for explorer and traders, The Westin Resort & Spa, Whistler now stands as the ultimate launchpad for modern adventurers, whether you’re conquering alpine trails or rejuvenating in mountain lakes.

Infused with the vibrant botanicals of the Westin’s signature White Tea, zesty grapefruit, orange, ginger, mint and rosemary; Waypoint Gin delivers a refreshing and aromatic journey. Perfect for après or a mountain evening, Waypoint is your compass to Whistler’s unforgettable experiences. Sip, savour, and let it guide your adventure. 

Join us for a signature cocktail featuring Waypoint Gin from our Grill & Vine bar or at Firerock next door.
