Tour Overview
All manner of spirits flow in Lviv old town, from the alcoholic to the phantasmagoric, and you will toy with the intoxicating tastes of both. Enter the spiritual garden of Galician flora and pick the herbs that best complement your temperament!
When the sun sets, our restless alcomists get to work in blackened basements beneath Rynok Square. There, by light of lanterns, what they harvested at dawn takes on new meanings. Slowly but surely, potions of unutterable peculiarity bubble and froth into mysterious life.
These arcane elixirs enter our world with no name, such is the complex nature of their flavours. Today, they are known simply and respected by all. Not for the faint of heart, the spirits of Lviv are strong. 60% proof is common, 70% more so. All are wilfully consumed by our nocturnal denizens, revered by all Lvivians for imparting a little magick upon those who partake.
We delve deep into the colourful concoctions of clandestine Lviv, manufactured by persons unknown at the dread of night. Included are 8 x 50ml servings and you can choose your poisons, be they traditional or fantastical!
Spirit of Lviv tastes real Lviv and is led by a veteran of the Armed Forces of Ukraine. A Ukrainian to English translator will join if required. Your veteran guide will imbue Spirit of Lviv with his or her personal reflections about pre-war life in Lviv, fighting in the war against russian terrorism, and since returning home.
We include five "spiritual" stops in Lviv old town.
