Craft Gin Tasting in Reykjavik’s Old Harbor: Meet the Maker

About this experience

Skip the crowded, generic tours. What sets us apart is the intimacy and the story. You aren't just walking past factory machines; you are sitting down directly with the founder and Master Distiller. In our cozy Old Harbor distillery, you'll get a highly personal look at Icelandic distilling, smell the local botanicals, and enjoy generous tastings and craft cocktails. It’s less like a formal tour and more like having drinks with a local friend.
