Had a great time doing the tour as apart of our honeymoon. Loved the explanations, the personalities and alcohol involved in the tour! Turned me into a gin girl! My husband was so happy to be apart of a small business growing!

Hovdenak is a tour is a must do! Brynja is amazing! Her passion for her work shines though her spirits. The vodka, the gins, the rums, and oh...the espresso liqueur. We definitely started our trip the right way!

Warm atmosphere and knowledgable staff, a lovely learning experience. Their products are also really good. Although Stuðlaberg Gin is their signature and one of my favourites, try Rökkvi, if you like coffee liqueur at all I promise you, you’ve never had anything that comes close. I highly recommend the tour, it’s a great start to a Friday night out!!

I've been twice on this Distillery tour both with my family and my work. I definitely plan on coming the third time with my friends.
It's a great tour. The owners Brynja and Hákon are very friendly. Brynja has a good presentation on the products and Hákon can answer all the questions you could possibly have regarding the manufacturing process.
I'd recommend this for all adult groups.

We had an awesome time learning about the products, process, and business! The tour was led by the owners, a couple, who were very passionate, knowledgeable, and welcoming. It lasted an hour and we got the chance to try each of their products, and they answered all the questions we had! We were very impressed with the entire experience and will definitely recommend it to visiting friends and family!

Such a fun and interesting tour, it's impressive how the owner put together and built the distillery equipment on his own!!🤯 The owners are super nice and let us try their products. Amazing experience, thank you🙏✨️
