I liked how the experience focused on the cultural side rather than just the drinks themselves. It added depth and made the visit more meaningful.

Informative and well balanced. The explanations were concise but detailed enough to give proper context to each theme.

A good complement to the other museums in the area. It feels distinct and offers a different angle compared to more traditional exhibitions.
