    Very informative museum on the history of wine, juice, and alcohol in Estonia. The owner is about to start bottling locally made wine. To have the opportunity to purchase local craft beer. Very interesting with some great pictures and artifacts.

    Not really a museum. More of an exhibit of a local winery. However for 7 euro you can try two wines so it wasn't a complete loss.

    Kannattaa varata esittely sekä tuote maistelu. Omistaja kertoo tyhjentävästi yrityksen historiasta ja nykypäivästä. Samalla saa maistella virolaisia käsityöläisoluita tai muita paikallisia juomia. Ehdottomasti suosittelen pienelle seurueelle. Meitä oli 9.

    Really very interesting, the history of the company reads like a novel. Well done and prepared Mr. Peke, who has resumed wine production, planting vines on the island of Muhu. The "wines" offered are excellent, based on apples and rhubarb. Go and visit him, it's worth it.

    The museum is only interesting as an addition to your trip with the Tallin Card. Pleased with a small tasting of two types of Estonian wines and a short tour in English. The exhibition itself is very modest and can be completed in 15 minutes.

    It is a small exhibit showing some memorabilia from the Luscher and Matiesen company, including letters, photos and a replica of the wine bar. Some are a bit hard to read as it is dark, and very little was translated from Estonian (though an interesting letter from a founder is written in English, look out for this!). If you can’t read Estonian the visit is about 20 minutes, maybe half an hour if you can! The staff member was friendly and knowledgeable and gave a short history and answered questions. You get two small glasses of wine and this was tasty. We visited as part of the Tallinn Card and it is definitely worth it. It is also at the top of the hill and there is a nice view but there are lots of steps or an uphill walk to reach it.

    €6 glass of glögi comes with free entrance to the museum. Letters between Johnny Walker and Company and one of the winery’s original owners are on display which are interesting and worth reading.

    Very pleasant guide and delicious wine. She was telling the story about museum, wine and factory founders and answered all our questions. Recommend!

    Only two little sip of wine for tasting. And no interesting things to see in the museum

    They mostly sell wine or local handcraft beer. Small museum with potential

    Opening hours according to the sign are 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., on Saturday the doors were closed at 5:45 p.m. Sunday - we came here again specifically because of the museum - 11:00 a.m. still closed - 10 a.m. was crossed out with chalk. and 12 o'clock on it. So I didn't even stroll around, it was still closed at 12:15 p.m., a little later the door was open. But not for us - the next group of ship tourists still had to be processed. It would have been possible around 1 p.m., but not for us
