Small-Group East Slovakia Whisky & Distillery Tour

Karloff distillery - The Home of Tatratea Our first and unforgettable stop is at Karloff, the very birthplace of the legendary Tatratea. This is much more than just a quick visit; it's a deep dive into the story and craftsmanship behind this iconic Slovak liqueur. We will explore the entire production facility, witnessing the careful process that transforms a blend of herbs, tea, and spirits into the drink affectionately known as a "hug in a bottle." You'll learn about its cultural significance and, of course, enjoy a guided tasting to appreciate its complex, one-of-a-kind flavors.

After all that "tea" tasting, we will head to the rustic charm of Salaš u Franka for a well-deserved lunch break. This isn't a modern restaurant; it's a traditional Slovak shepherd's hut where we’ll refuel with hearty, authentic local cuisine. The atmosphere is as genuine as the food, providing a perfect opportunity to relax, soak in the culture, and prepare for the next leg of our liquid journey.

Our grand finale is a visit to Nestville Park, a stunning distillery that holds the secret to genuine Slovak whisky. We will be guided through a comprehensive tour, from the very beginning of the distillation process to the art of aging. You'll witness the passion and precision that goes into every bottle and gain a deep appreciation for the history and craftsmanship involved. The tour culminates with a professional whisky tasting session, allowing you to truly savor and understand the smooth, rich flavors that make this whisky so special.
