The experience

What separates an agricultural distillery from an artisan one, and why does it matter? The Podole Wielkie tour answers these questions by walking you through a working 170-year-old Pomeranian distillery and farm. You'll see how the grain grown on the land becomes the spirits in the bottle, and taste the difference between vodka and okowita: the traditional Polish spirit infused with botanicals. The guide explains the craft at each step, so you understand not just what happens, but why the operation works this way.

Tastings and snacks are built into the 90 minutes, so you're sampling the spirits as you learn. The tour is designed to fit into a morning or afternoon without eating up your whole day, and children from age 7 can join. The distillery welcomes all fitness levels, though the farm setting means some walking on the grounds.

What's the difference between vodka and okowita that the tour explains?

Vodka is a neutral spirit distilled to high proof, while okowita is a traditional Polish spirit infused with botanicals, herbs or spices that give it flavor and character. The tour shows how Podole Wielkie produces both, and you taste examples of each.

How long is the tour and what does it include?

What does "From Field to Bottle" mean at this distillery?

It's Podole Wielkie's philosophy that every bottle tells a story rooted in the grain grown on their own farm. The tour shows how that grain moves from the fields through fermentation and distillation to the finished spirit, so you understand the connection between land and product.

Is this tour physically demanding?

The tour suits all fitness levels and welcomes people of varying abilities. It involves walking around the distillery and farm grounds, so comfortable shoes are a good idea, but there are no strenuous climbs or long hikes.
