Great tasting
Intimate, small groups. Local, in the " bowels" of a Lutheran Church. I would say not handicap accessible. Very steep stairs for entrance. Our host/owner was great. She was full of fun facts and interesting tid bits. The cellar was a bit hot, but the atmosphere was great! A must if you enjoy wine, no pushy sales.

Super tasty!
My wife and I had a lot of fun doing this tasting experience. Laima is a very sweet and knowledgeable host and we had a lot of fun tasting the delicious wines and meads that were provided. Definitely recommend!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your lovely feedback! I am so glad you enjoyed the experience and hope to see you again in Vilnius.

Passion for sharing knowledge
Such a lovely and cozy experience! 🍷😊 We joined a Lithuanian wine and mead tasting experience with friends, and all three of us absolutely loved it. Everything was explained in such an interesting, detailed and engaging way. We learned so much, and the tasting itself really added to the whole experience. Since there were only three of us, the evening felt very personal, relaxed and attentive. There was plenty of time not only for the presentation and tasting, but also for our questions and a great conversation. You could really feel the genuine passion for sharing knowledge and love for what you do. ❤️ We also really appreciated the warm welcome, wonderful hospitality and cozy atmosphere. We felt truly welcomed and well taken care of throughout the evening. Thank you for such a warm and enjoyable experience and for a wonderfully hosted evening! We left with the best impressions and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for something special to try. 🍷✨
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words! It means a lot, especially from a wine enthusiast.

A wonderful Lithuanian wine and mead tasting experience
A wonderful Lithuanian wine and mead tasting experience right in the heart of Vilnius! Only wines and mead made in Lithuania, using Lithuanian berries and grapes, were selected for the tasting. The tastings are hosted by Laima Stelmokienė in both Lithuanian and English. We had a really great time! I would definitely recommend this experience to anyone interested in discovering Lithuanian wine and mead. A lovely way to spend an evening and explore some unique local flavours!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your kind words!

Distinctive wine type
This was a warm and intimate setting with five of us, including the host. We enjoyed sampling various wines made from berries and learned a lot about how grape wine compares to berry wine in their production. The only downside is that they don’t sell the wine there. It’s made only for tasting and personal use. Mead was also delicious.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind words. And thank you for your idea regarding wine shop. We are working on it :)

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Vilnius.
How much does Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars cost?
+
Prices start at $67 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Vilnius usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars take?
+
Plan for about 1.5 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 Vilnius is not rushed.
Is Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 11 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Vilnius, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars?
+
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 Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars?
+
Around 4 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 Vilnius 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 Vilnius and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Local Wine and Mead Tastings in Vilnius Old Town Cellars start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Vilnius within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Vilnius?
+
On Outty we rank every Vilnius experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Admission Ticket at Auto Museum Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Soviet Vilnius, Regular walking tour of Jewish Vilnius. 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 Vilnius?
+
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 Vilnius?
+
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?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
