Very different to the usual - Unique and very interesting experience. Tasting wine in the dark enhances your other senses and is worth doing, even if you are a bit sceptical.

Well worth a visit - My husband and I did the wine tasting in the dark and it was a fantastic experience. We were the only ones there for our time slot but we still had such fun. If you have a spare hour I highly recommend fitting this in. Friendly and professional service. Fantastic facilities and excellent wine!

Incredibly knowledgeable host - The sommelier really knows his craft. There were only the 2 of us booked in for this experience and afterwards there was the chance to ask questions of the host and we learned so much about who are the world’s wine experts, the impact of the cask on the wine and he even invited us to taste some delicious ‘wine’ made from cherries. This event exceeded our expectations

A fantastic experience in... - A fantastic experience in total darkness. Tasting wine without seeing it was very interesting as well as surprising. Who knew seeing your glass of wine already started forming your opinion of the wine. The narrator for the tasting was very funny. I would highly recommend this experience!!

If you are a wine drinker, don’t miss this! - This was a GREAT experience. So unique & totally unexpected. We originally had a wine tasting experience scheduled for our tour group that cast $120. Our tour guide told us this was a much more interesting experience and it totally was - for almost $100 less! I am in the wine business and have never experienced anything like it.

Interesting experience - It was interesting not being able to see anything. The information on the tasting helped me identify what flavors I was tasting. It was a fun time.

Wine tasting Slovakia - It was a nice experience. There was only 3 of us and think it may have been more fun with more people. The audio commentary was very good but may have felt more personal if the person was there in person. A lovely selection of wines was available. It would be good to also offer sip of water in between each wine tasting. Overall I enjoyed the experience, very different.

Fun but Expensive - It was a fun experience but not worth the money for the amount of time. The whole experience felt rushed and other tastings cost much less - you’re paying extra just to be in the dark.
