Description
The Riga Black Balsam tour takes you inside the factory where Latvia’s famous herbal liqueur is made.
How about a tour of the Latvijas balzams factory, where legendary drinks like Riga Black Balsam and Moskovskaya® Vodka are produced? This tour is a rare opportunity to explore a factory that has been closed to visitors since 1900 and to learn about the production process of some of the world’s most iconic beverages.
During the tour, you’ll get to see the spirit warehouse and learn about the production and storage of spirits. You’ll also visit the vodka unit to see how vodka is processed and filtered, and explore the ELIT® hall to discover the unique production method of ELIT® vodka.
But that’s not all. You’ll also get to visit the bottling unit to see how bottles and labels are made and learn about their significance. And of course, you’ll get to taste the Riga Black Balsam extract, which is exclusive to the factory.
Make a full weekend of it: combine it with Riga Beer District Tour, Cocktail Workshop or Traditional Riga Dinner. For more ideas, read our Riga stag do guide.
