Cape Town - Van Ryn's Distillery in Stellenbosch has been named as having the best distillery tour in the world according to judges at the 2015 Distillery Experience Awards.
Around the world, tourists visit distilleries while on holiday in search of unique cultural experiences.
The Best Distillery Tour award celebrates the effectiveness of thoughtful distillery tours. Judges were in search of the most innovative tour that offers tourists an educational and memorable experience into the production and distillation of spirits.
Judges commented that the Van Ryn’s team was clearly proud of their work.
“It is an impressive tour and great visitor numbers show that they offer visitors something quite different and interesting – such as the cooperage and the presentation on how barrels are put together. The tour also integrates well with other attractions on site," the judges said.
Van Ryn’s brand home manager Fre-Nay Brown said the team is extremely dedicated to creating a memorable and entertaining experience and they hope this award will encourage locals, who have not yet visited, to come and learn about distillation "and discover for themselves why South African brandies are world-class".
