I don't see how the other reviews gave 5 stars. The "private" English tour was close to 40 people. It lasted only 60 minutes and consisted of a short video, walking past some barrels associated with notable politicians, a small display of antique equipment and a display of awards. That was the tour.
We did have a tasting of two brandies - a 3 and 5 year. Both were acceptable but not outstanding. The gift shop is filled with 10, 15 and 30 year old brandies. You would think that these could be sampled.
I definitely think the Ararat Brandy Factory is overrated. Next time I am going to Noy
