Lots of fun

Lots of fun, history and a bit of theatre tasting the local stuff. Secret rooms, cellars, ghosts, a little magic and a generous amount to taste.

A fun intro to some different liquors.

We were given an excellent run down of the Black Balsan variations with time to savour. There were a couple of coffees and a delicious dark chocolate bite. We explored to ‘lab’ downstairs.
