5.00Excellent ! Our entire visit to Wigle was an excellent experience. Leslie and Braxton were our guides (sorry if I've misspelled your name). She gave us each a drink to enjoy before the tour began and helped later with taste sampling. Braxton gave an excellent tour which included history of whiskey making and Pittsburgh connections. He made everyone on our tour feel welcome and included. The tour was informative and fun. The addition of samples during the tour is a nice touch and added to the experience. After the tour Braxton explained each of the products we were sampling and answered all questions. After we finished with sampling we were offered tasting of any other products they have. Both Leslie and Braxton are extremely knowledgeable about the products made by Wigle and their friendly personalities added to the day. We decided to stay for lunch after the tour and enjoyed a delightful meal.

No, not really.

1.00Have been on quite a few tours of various places and this one didn’t live up to expectations. The introductory drink was a few teaspoons, and each of the samples was about a teaspoon. Our guide was harried, talked far too fast to be consistently understood (especially for those in our group who said they were from other countries - don’t be so provincial, folks) and jumped around so it was impossible to follow the narrative. And we don’t care about you having a daughter or stubborn husband, thanks, or that you have to get done with us because the 3:00 tour is there early. We felt shortchanged and rushed. For instance, the Liberty Pole tour was much better. I would recommend that instead of this one, which I would not recommend to visiting friends or family.
Definitely a great stop on a visit.
