This was a lot of fun! ...
This was a lot of fun! There were 5 of us. The owner made it fun and informative. We tried 4 different types ofKombucha that he makes. Very good! Also 3 different beers and 3 high quality Rums!! He also served little meat pies.

Make sure to eat something!
Really good fun. Robin is great company and passionate about kombucha, craft beer and rum. I really love kombucha and learned a lot about the history and process behind it; the scone reveal was fascinating. Craft beer delicious. Rum blew our heads off! No pizza, but tasty locally sourced empanadas which helpfully included veggie options. Totally and thoroughly recommended!

The Don’t Bother Tour
Don’t bother. The place was closed on the day of our tour , waited around for ages and nobody could be bothered to tell us. Absolute shambles. I only gave it one star as I couldn’t give it less.

Kombucha, rum and beer!
We tasted all the kombucha on tap while Robin explained his process-which tastes great by the way-and then moved on to beer and rum tasting. He has hundreds of bottles of rum from all over the world and is very knowledgeable about their history and taste. We listened to some great music and ate fresh empanadas. A delightful tasting room/pub/bar in Wellington.

Abysmal failure

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Wellington.
How much does Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $38 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Wellington usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour take?
+
Plan for about 0.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Wellington is not rushed.
Is Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Wellington, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Wellington can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Wellington and add a light layer if any part of the 0.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Kombucha Tasting and Private Factory Tour start and how do I get there?

The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Wellington?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Wellington?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
