AI summary of 29 reviews
Travellers consistently praise the barrel tasting experience, which typically involves sampling around 15 flavours followed by a curated six-pack selection to take home, and they appreciate the knowledgeable and friendly staff who guide them through the tasting. The self-guided gallery displaying the company's history and production methods stands out most often, with visitors noting the interactive elements, informative videos and well-designed presentation of how the drinks are made. The main caveat, mentioned only once across all reviews, is that clearer wayfinding signage such as arrows and explanations of the sniff stations would enhance the experience.
How we collect and publish reviews
Where they come from. Our reviews are gathered from independent review sites and from guests who share feedback with us directly after their trip. They come from people who have actually travelled on the tour. Some longer trips are made up of shorter tours we also sell, run back to back — where a review was written about one of those legs, the review says so.
Why some are edited. Many of our guests travel in their second or third language. Where a review is hard to read, we lightly edit spelling, grammar and punctuation, or paraphrase a sentence for clarity. We never change the rating, the meaning or the sentiment, and we never write a review on a guest's behalf.
Reading the originals. Reviews sourced from public review sites appear there in their original form, and can be read in full at their original source at any time.
A great hour learning how the drinks are made and packed, which flavours sell best at home and overseas, and what goes into each one. Damo was an awesome barman, we tasted 15 flavours and the hardest part was choosing our six bottles to take home.
So many flavours to try, and choosing six at the end was a real challenge. Very informative, and I loved the history and the interactive display.
Great value with the tasting of about 15 flavours, then a six-pack of your favourites to take home. The self-guided tour with interactive displays and videos on how they make the drinks is well put together.
We booked a time and followed the tasting schedule to try the different flavours, and came away with a fridge magnet and a charm for our Crocs.
A great chance to taste the flavours so you know which ones you like, and the six-pack makes it worthwhile. Some arrows showing where to start and a sign explaining the sniff stations would help.
Family friendly, and the kids loved trying all the flavours. The staff were great with the children, and the family ticket meant we took home twelve drinks.
