No two alcohol tours are exactly the same- but here’s what you can generally expect. Most experiences include a guided tour with insight into the producer’s history, brand story, and a behind-the-scenes look at how the drinks are made. You’ll usually finish with a tasting, giving you the chance to sample what they’re best known for- whether that’s whisky, gin, rum, beer, or another craft creation. The depth of information and the quality of the tasting can vary depending on the tour tier. Many venues offer both a standard and a premium experience- for example, a Connoisseur’s Tour might include more in-depth knowledge and older or rarer samples. Be sure to check the description for each tour, as names and formats vary by producer.
Some tours include transportation in their package, while others allow you to add it as an option. Look for details in the tour description.
Most distilleries are set up to provide drivers packs. We recommend to ask for those ahead of time to avoid disappointment and allow the distillery to prepare them, however this can be a great way to ensure you do not miss out on that all important tasting session- even if it is back in the comfort of your own home!
Cancellation and rescheduling policies vary by tour operator. You can find the specific policy for each tour on its listing page. Many operators offer flexible terms, but we recommend reviewing the policy before booking.
