Learn interesting facts about Polish vodka

A tour such as this would not be complete without diving into the fascinating history of Polish vodka – after all, you may as well learn about the amazing drinks you are sampling. Firstly there is the national drink of Poland itself – Wódka – which has been distilled since an earlier incarnation since the 14th century. Of course there are some other national favourites that make an appearance such as Zubrowka or Żołądkowa Gorzka – both wildly different in taste but inherently Polish in character. Most vodka inside Poland is made from either grain, potatoes or fruit which contributes hugely to each brands flavour and complexity.

An experienced tour guide will be able to explain what makes each product unique and make recommendations on which ones you may particularly like – so be sure to ask away! It’s not often such an expert guide is readily available to answer questions so take advantage when they are!

Best Times to Go

Krakow is beautiful all year round – however it’s always best to keep an eye on current updates (take weather as an example). The wintertime can be suitably chilly as well as wet so be sure to check before booking your tour that it’s safe for travel during winter months. If in doubt, book nearer to your date of travel when weather updates may be more reliable! The summertime is usually prime time for visiting Krakow – however there may be increased crowds if travelling during peak tourist season.

It’s also worth noting that most tours run during the evening from 5pm – however bear in mind that alcohol will usually be available until late into the evening so there is scope for flexibility depending on what goes on during the tour as well as personal preference.

Personal Recommendation

We completely recommend taking this tour if you get the chance – although there are a lot of different tours available in Krakow it’s not too often you get the opportunity to visit some world renowned locations in such a short period of time. It’s also a great way to sample some truly unique flavours of vodka and learn what makes them so special, as well as having a few drinks and some great food along the way!
