    wonderful tasting and staff

    A great experience. Isabelle was very informative and answered all our questions. Alex was very knowledgeable and entertaining during the tastings. My favorite was the new Limonella gin. The whiskey no. 5 was my favorite whiskey. My only ask would be that they sell their engraved whiskey glasses, so I can spread the word more easily!

    Great experience!

    Visited the distillery while on a long weekend trip to Montreal. Registration was super easy, jumped in an Uber and headed over. Had a welcome drink, an informative tour, and then a tasting of their gin and vodka. We did pay extra for the whiskey tasting. Overall, a great afternoon in a cool local business.

    We went for a tasting and we had the greatest time in a while. We are local and we will definitely come back. Shawn was an amazing host and gave a fantastic and informative tour. Best whiskey tasting ever and I will recommend to everyone I know.

    Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Montreal.

    How much does Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka cost?

    +

    Prices start at $18 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Montreal usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka 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 Montreal is not rushed.

    Is Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Montreal, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka?

    +

    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 Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka 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 Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka?

    +

    Around 1 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 Montreal 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 Montreal and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka 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 Montreal 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 Montreal?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Montreal experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Old Montreal Walking Tour | Small Group (Max 10) | by MTL Detours, The Original Montreal Mural Arts Tour by Spade & Palacio, Montreal Mile End Food Tour with Bagel, Poutine and 7 Tastings. 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 Montreal?

    +

    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 Montreal?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka?

    +

    Included: Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka?

    +

    Meet the team at the distillery: Cirka Distilleries, 2075, Rue Cabot, Montréal, Qc, H4E 1E2 Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is Montreal Distillery Tour and Spirit Tasting at Cirka offered in?

    +
