How do tasting tokens work?
To enjoy an alcohol tasting, you’ll need to purchase tasting tokens.
- 1 tasting token = a 40mL taste (standard serve).
- Some vendors may offer variations, for example 2 x 20mL tastings for 1 token.
- If you’d like to purchase a glass of wine, this can be done directly with the vendor using cash or EFT.
Purchasing tokens isn’t just about keeping things simple — it also ensures our wineries and distillers receive a fair portion back for every tasting, so they’re not pouring all day at a loss.
