Description
Polish vodka is distinct and deeply rooted in tradition comparable to whisky in Scotland or wine in France. This tour introduces you to Polish culture through its national spirit.
Start at a bar featuring Polish-style tapas: fresh crusty breads, cured meats, and smoked mountain cheeses. Taste two historical clear vodkas while learning about vodka’s history, production, and cultural significance.
Next, explore Kraków’s UNESCO-listed Old Town on foot, visiting hidden vodka bars and cafés rarely discovered by tourists. Experience a communist-era shot bar, a homemade-flavored vodka café, and a candlelit vodka bar offering over 100 vodka varieties.
Choose flavored vodkas from more than 200 options, including salted caramel, elderflower, chocolate, and Christmas orange. The tour ends at a local restaurant for the city’s best pierogi (Polish dumplings), ideal to balance the vodka.
