Gdansk Vodka Tasting

At the time of your choice, we'll meet at a bar-restaurant located in the heart of Gdansk's historic centre. From here we'll start our vodka tour.

For 1 hour 30 minutes, we'll enjoy 6 shots of traditional vodka. We'll learn about the Polish national drink, its most popular brands, including citrus, nut, and molasses varieties. Vodka originated as a remedy for digestive diseases and was used in the Middle Ages for gastric problems, sold in pharmacies at that time.

During the tour, we'll be treated to different aperitifs to pair with this drink. We'll also hear stories, including the prohibition of vodka by Tsar Nicholas II in 1914 and its relationship with gunpowder.

Finally, we'll end the tour in the streets of the centre of Gdansk.
