We will visit several local bars and pubs located in the Kazimierz district, which is the centre of nightlife for young Cracovians, together with an experienced guide and an expert in Polish spirits and distillery history. We shall have the opportunity to taste various types of Polish vodkas, including liqueurs traditionally homemade. Vodka is always served with “snacks” according to Polish tradition – something we are about to taste in our intimate group as well.
On this tour, we will not only enjoy traditional pure Polish vodka. Poland has so much more to offer! We are awaited by great pubs in Kazimierz, offering excellent craft beers made in Kraków, and bars where we will try some unique Polish alcohol with a pedigree even older than vodka.
In two hours, we will visit three venues and taste six types of Polish liquor and traditional snacks. Besides alcohol and snack tasting, the important tour part involves our guide’s stories about the production methods of the served liquors, the Polish culture and history of alcohol consumption and the contemporary trends in Polish society.
