All questions welcome! We love the easy-going atmosphere of our tours.
The halls of the museum include a medieval distillation apparatus, a setting for a feast in a noble court, equipment of the distillery revolution in the 19th c. alongside industrial facilities for vodka production. There is also a stylised bar from the interwar period, a fully-equipped agricultural distillery, bottling and loading facilities for vodka, a wall of memory for Polish vodka brands from the times of the People's Republic of Poland. You end the tour in the Vodka Factory President's office that will remind you of a regime that passed in the 1990s.
The agricultural distillery is arranged in a complete technological sequence of vodka production. It provides an excellent opportunity to understand how alcohol is still produced in modern times.
