Beautiful little distillery. The tour is a lot of fun. The tasting was great with a bunch of different flavors. The staff is very friendly and easy to work with. Questions were welcomed and the processes were fun to learn about. The flavors during the tasting were excellent. Most of my group ended up buying some of the liquors and vodkas.

We were there for the soft open last week! Everything from the decor to the inventive cocktails using their own botanical to the varied dishes on the fairly small but well chosen menu was thoughtful and top notch. It made for a romantic night out and as we left we were happy to see that the bar was hopping! Grand opening is July 11, 2024. Check it out!

How did I not know about this place just 10 minutes from my house?! Found it through Groupon and thought it sounded fun. Four of us went for the tasting/tour and it was such a fun experience. Kevin was a great guide and explained the processes and flavors as we sampled the organic vodkas and spirits. We also spent time at the beautiful bar and tried some of their delicious drinks; each one better than the one before. Staff was friendly and knowledgeable. We will absolutely be back!

You are truly one of our favorite places in New England. We paid a visit last night (8/31) and once again had an incredible experience. The staff and cocktails were amazing! Our prior visit included dinner, but last night was strictly cocktails. On our prior visit I had the roasted sour and the birch & bourbon. Incredible! Cannot wait to come back.

A great experience and WOMEN OWNED!! We went for a tasting and had a great time. You get to try their vodkas and liqueurs and get a complimentary cocktails for $15!! They have so many flavors, everything is organic and made IN-HOUSE. CHECK THEM OUT!

We loved our tasting/tour experience and all the incredible liqueurs & vodkas we tried! Staff is super friendly and passionate about their distinct distilling and infusion processes. The flavors they produce are bold and delicious with limitless pairing options—we can’t wait to recreate some of the inventive cocktails from their menu and custom recipe collections (both on their website & included with their variety liqueur pack) at home with the bottles we purchased!

If you've never been, you have to stop by here. And if you have been, go again :-) This is a really great, local establishment. The staff are always nice and friendly and we even met the lady that started it all in her home kitchen. All their flavors are natural and add a new dimension to your cocktails. You get a tour, a tasting of each liquor, and a cocktail with your visit. We went in looking to make a holiday drink using their cranberry liquor and they were so helpful with recipes and ideas on making the drinks ahead. I always enjoy coming here. The host various events throughout the year, so there are lots of reasons to visit. We will be back :-)

1.8.22 ample free parking. Reservations and masks are required (no need for vac proof) and hand sanitizers everywhere for those worried. When you first enter you're greeted to beautiful Wild Moon decor, candles, glasses, and Liqueurs for sale, and a bar type seating area. Our tastings were done in the 2nd room where we sampled cucumber, cranberry, lavender, vanilla flavored Liqueurs. We learned how this female owned Distillery was started and after tasting many of them know why it's become so successful. Great product! Definitely recommend a visit.

What an amazing experience and tasting. Our host, Brittany, was very thorough and explained the process of making their drinks. They were light and refreshing, very smooth and very delicious. It's amazing to see someone's passion come to life where others can enjoy the simple things. To know that all of their drinks are made with five or less ingredients that are all natural! And a woman owned business. Chefs kiss

This is a must-go-to place for every visitor and resident in Hartford! Take a tasting tour of the distillery--they make healthy vodkas & liqueurs as well as herbal mixtures. Afterwards, enjoy their unique cocktails and snacks. And then you can purchase samples or bottles of your favorite flavours.

We had a great experience today for a pre-valentines day weekend event! I was looking for a new unique area experience for the hubby and me. I spied a Groupon super deal for the two of us at only $11, and I thought,"why not"??I headed over to Yelp to check out reviews and they are stellar! Shout out to veteran Dan R for the helpful 5 star review. All reviews were 5 stars!! We had a very happy hour group tasting where we tried many liquors and chose a cocktail at the end. Nicole was a fantastic hostess/bartender and answered all our questions confidently! If you are into liquors or cocktails, definitely check this out with your sweetie or a friend. It's all fEmAlE owned #girlboss. Great local fun!

A pleasant experience getting to try an assortment of different liquors made with quality in mind. Spoiled now by the local flavors of Rose, Birch, Cucumber and Chai Spice. You'll be walking out with a new sense of appreciation for the work the company prides itself on with every sip. A distillery that aims to give a great experience, you'll be walked through a tasting and be smiling all the way. We sampled an array of the different liquors and were taught about the history of it and what we would be sampling. The Groupon was great as we were all able to enjoy the samples and have a drink ourselves, mostly concoctions made with the liquors along with other mix ins and garnishes. The atmosphere has a beautiful decorated store front with the manufacturing in the back; for smaller groups by reservation since the space is used to its full capacity. If you aren't able to grab a time slot then mixing things up at home, you can grab the variety kit and easy to follow recipes there. Already thinking about what to get for the holidays coming up.

What a treat! Took my friends from out of town and really just loved the experience, the vibe and most importantly the liquor! We went for Valentines weekend for our first tour and just had an absolute blast. We tried the first half of liquors (see below) and got a cocktail of our choice for the price of $10.50! The staff was super welcoming and impressive with their knowledge of the history of this woman-owned company. We were impressed beyond belief and had to get our own batch of Wild Moon liquors to take home. We will be back for more!

I am such a huge fan of Hartford Flavor Company! Be sure to check out Groupon because the deal I found was amazing- A tour, tasting and complimentary signature drinks for 2 people for around $10-12! The tour was so fun! This is a woman operated company which already made me so happy. All liquors are made in house and all natural ingredients. I learned so much about all the nasty chemicals that are found in many liquors and mixers today. My favorite samples were the lime, cranberry and cucumber liquors! So good and you can tell they are so fresh! I was told that they even hand peel the tons of cucumbers that go into this liquor. After the tasting and discussion we got to choose ANY of their signature drinks! I immediately opted for the cranberry Prosecco but the hibiscus- kiss was calling my name as well! The amazing girls working asked if I wanted to combine some hibiscus into my cranberry drink and omg it was delicious!! My husband got a strawberry lime ginger beer and it was also so tasty! The distillery itself is sooooo cute and beautiful! Plants, artwork and so much style! I am such a fan of this establishment and can not wait to take my friends here to try it out! My husband and I also want to get a bottle of their lime and cranberry next time as well! Soooo good!

Plan for a weekend where you aren't rushing or eager to run because this is a nice relaxing tasting where you come to enjoy different flavors of vodka botanical in a calm setting with some experienced employees to show you there brand. Opened in 2015 ,they are one of 6 female owned distilleries they aim for locally sourced products calling it "Hand to Love " making their flavors happen. They are proud to be known now as Certified USDA Organic ! No tours due to covid restrictions for businesses, but we did sit down for a 30 minute presentation and tasting . The flavors were astonishing to me having not much 'bite' or 'burn' as they say ,but more of a natural flavor ,yet pure alcohol. The one that they started with is a cranberry which indeed was delicious and not strong straight. The cucumber was my favorite and I absolutely hate cucumbers . It takes 250 to make a batch of this into alcohol . I definitely had to buy a bottle when I found it in the package store the very next day . I totally recommend you coming out to try your own tasting today and look on Groupon for a nice deal !!!!!

This place is absolutely fantastic! The staff is friendly and very knowledgable about their liqueurs. The cocktails you can get with the tastings really taste great, and show how good their product can be in your drinks. Cant wait to come back and try the botanical and barrel aged liqueurs next!

We had a great time at Hartford Flavor Company. We had purchased a Groupon for a tasting and tour. It was a very good value for the tasting of all of their liquors, small snacks (pretzels, corn chips) on the tables, a tour of the production area, as well as a complimentary mixed drink. The staff were exceptionally kind and very welcoming. I think it's also great how committed they are to gluten free and non-GMO ingredients. What stands out to us at Hartford Flavor Company was the unique flavor line of their Wild Moon Liquors. Each one was exceptionally delicious without being overly sweet. Between the birch, chai spice, cranberry, cucumber, lavender, rose, and lime I'd honestly say they are all excellent. I would venture to note that the rose and lavender were most unique. The cucumber was deliciously refreshing as well. We also savored our cocktails. My husband had the Blissful Botanist and I had the Ginnovation. They were mixed perfectly and we loved the flavor combinations. If you are seeking a niche liquor experience and enjoy some delicious cocktails Hartford Flavor Company is well worth the visit. Your biggest challenge will be which liquor flavor you decide to bring home!

What a fun place to visit! I found Hartford Flavor Company on Groupon and this was one of the more unique Groupon experiences I've had. They did not disappoint. Our host was knowledgeable and personable. We felt welcomed by the entire staff. Inside is beautifully decorated and there's a small shop area where they sell an assortment of products including their handmade liquors. The tasting was a lot of fun and we were able to try things we probably wouldn't normally try. I love that the tasting finishes with a handcrafted drink. Protip: if it's on the menu, get the espresso martini. It was one of the best I've ever had! Not only will we be back, but we will be telling all of our friends about this gem of a place.

A female ran infusionary....I wish I lived closer. I would probably be a regular. I came here for a tour and tasting I found on Groupon. We tasted around 9 different liquors and I loved just about every single on of them. We had a seated tour, so I am unsure what I would of been able to see if it was done as normal but I would of liked to see more of the process. I am still in awe with the cucumber because it was not only bright and fresh but very substantial in depth. Hopefully what I bought will last for awhile but I will be waiting in anticipation for the next time I'll be able to go and try some of their wonderful cocktail creations.

I cannot believe it took me this long to get to the Hartford Flavor Company, a wonderful local establishment with great staff, ambiance and locally produced liqueur. Tasting of about 10 different liqueurs and a cocktail for $10 os so much worth it. We got a very nice tour of the facility and the process of how they produce these wonderful spirits, again all in for $10. If you are not interested in the tasting and tour, you can sit at the bar and pick some delicious drinks off their cocktail menu. They also sell some merchandise, candles, glasses and some other stuffs that they make locally. We were a group of 5 and all of us enjoyed visiting here and walked out with several bottles of spirits. Great local establishment.

There are a handful of places that make me excited and proud of Hartford, and HFC has definitely made the list. Mari K., Tim M., and I wandered in just after 2pm (opening time) on a Saturday. We got the first or second "tour" of the day, which was about 20 minutes and includes an explanation of HFC's inception and tastes of 7 liquors. I really liked most of them, and we also got tips on what to mix the different flavors with. The tour also includes a cocktail, which was an awesome, unexpected treat. I was very impressed with the concoctions for spring, and it was hard to choose. The 3 different ones we got (lavender shandy, nocturnal habits, and nutty wood pecker) were all very good and unique. It's a little confusing when to pay and how much it is. Maybe I missed some signage, but I was thrown off. Definitely check out their current Groupon, though, which significantly brings down the price. I can't wait to see this local business expand.

Great price, great product, great way to spend an afternoon. Hartford Flavor Company was a sure bet for a impromptu date with my husband. As soon as you walk in, you are taken back by an aura of whimsy. The decor is pretty and yet rustic, like a secret room in a fairy tale. The tasting started right away, which I appreciated. It was really interesting to try each super concentrated liqueur- but be wary because each tiny sample packs a punch. Some were sweet, some savory, and others floral. I liked every single one we tried, but really loved the lime and birch flavors the best. We even took two bottles home for an additional fee. The best part was getting our free cocktail at the end of the tour, and getting to taste what it would be like to make at home with our favorite liquor. Really fun and delicious!! Plus, Real Art Ways is situated almost next door- you could follow up your cocktail with some art to make a really fun date here! I highly recommend it.

Came here on a recommendation from my roommate and also found a group - a tasting and tour for two people for $12. Thought this would be a cheap, cool, new experience. We ended up loving this little place. Hidden behind a tall red building in downtown Hartford sits the Hartford flavor company, this unique liquor company that couldn't be run out of a smaller shop. The liquor itself was delicious - we tried 9 different kinds, 7 regular, two aged. Our guide explained to us how the business came to be and how everything was made, gave us a tour, and then we enjoyed a cocktail from their menu that was included in the Groupon price. The indoor decor was rustic and adorable. Their hours of operation aren't the best so you have to go on a Friday night or Saturday during the day, but if you're looking for something new to try in Hartford and you enjoy liquor, definitely give this place a shot!

woman owned distillery! Been there for 6 years..I never knew about it before I saw it on Groupon. I decided to buy the Groupon and check it out..Not much to offer right now. Small tasting, the "tour" is just a seated information session about the liquers, and you get one drink included in the tour. You can't buy any additional drinks. The woman that led the tour was knowledgeable and friendly. She said they are hoping to move into a bigger location and be able to offer more bar and food services. I would go back once they have more things available!

I came here with a small group on a Saturday afternoon and booked a tasting. I found a Groupon and it was an amazing deal! For $12 we got two tastings of their unique spirits and then a cocktail at the end. The flavors were unique, everything was reasonably priced, and it seemed like high quality. I'd recommend a stop in.

The Hartford Flavor Company's mission statement includes these words: "We want to fill the hole in the market for unusually flavored, botanical liqueurs". They have a tasting room (open to the public on weekends), and for just ten bucks you'll get a tour of the production process, a taste of their offerings, and one cocktail. We sampled six of their products- Birch (think root beer), Chai Spice (the spicy aroma of Chai Tea), Cranberry (tart and bright), Cucumber (delicate and mellow), Lavender (subtle and smooth), and Rose (with the scent of rose hips). The thing that struck me about the tastings is that they all were incredibly smooth with no hint of burn, as if you were drinking iced tea or juice. The flavors were so nice-not overpowering at all, just a hint of a suggestion of what it was. I loved the Birch, Chai, Cucumber and Rose the most. They have a ton of cocktail recipes on the website. I had a Purple Palmer with their Wild Moon Lavender Liqueur, Vodka, Sweet Tea, and San Pellegrino Limonata. What a super refreshing and delicious cocktail it was ! Our Tour Guide and bartender, Michael, was a delight super knowledgeable and a great source of information. We picked up a bottle of the Chai and Rose products for around $20 each. Soon, they'll be selling mini bottles of everything for the Holidays. Go and enjoy!

This was so great! The tour/tasting was so fun. Our server knew everything about the spirits and what flavors they would deliver. My cocktail at the end is one that will make me come back for more and all for $10 pp. I also ordered the lime online to be delivered as a Christmas gift and the service was amazing and they hand delivered it on Christmas Eve! Great work

I really love their hand sanitizers but the real star of the show is the cucumber liquor! WOW. It is my favorite. I am sad I am out of it because it made the most perfect summertime beverage. Just mix it with some vodka and seltzer and you've got a refreshing and potent potable.

The cutest hidden gem in Hartford! We had the pleasure of having the owner as our guide and she was amazing! Hearing her story was a bonus because the liqueurs were amazing! We couldn't choose just one & had to buy a variety pack. She for sure won a lifetime customer! The tour came with tastings of all the flavors and a cocktail!

I had this place bookmarked for a while, and was happy to finally visit with Jess L one weekend. It's definitely worth a visit if you haven't been! We had a fun tour, which really just entails going into the back room, looking at some of the machinery, learning a lot about the place and the process, and tasting some fun liquors. The price of the tour/tasting also includes one mixed drink, made with the infused liquors, which is really cool. The drinks are great and really fun. I ended up buying a few sample packs of the flavored liquors, and find that they make great gifts. I don't find myself using them as often as I expected, but they are really fun to have on hand when you're in the mood for something a little fun and different.

I had the pleasure of being introduced to the Wild Moon liquors at a whiskey bar in Martha's Vineyard and fell in love with the rye whiskey and WM Chai Liqour cocktail. Sadly, no where near me sells this and they cannot ship to PA. Thankfully, I was driving through Hartford on a Sunday and got to stop here to stock up! This place was hopping! It was a pleasant surprise to be in such a beautiful tasting room and that they had so many liquors to choose from. My wallet (and liver) wouldn't let me get too many bottles (and because I still had 3 hours to drive, I didn't get to sample much). I ended up buying the Chai and the Birch and a sampler pack. My advice? Go. Bring a designated driver. If "passing through," change your plans and stay in the city for a night (I regret not doing this!). Look closely for the shop- it is a little hidden though they had movable signs directing people! Enjoy!

A local favorite. A Hartford native started this business almost on accident when she distributed a bit of her homemade spirits as she was having a terrible reaction to most cocktails. I know all of this because of the informative tour that you can take when visiting. They don't make the base spirit on site, but they ensure its quality in importation. The tour includes a tasting of all of the current variations and flavors, along with a look into what flavors might be coming down the pipeline (and what flavors didn't make the cut into production.) End the tour with a cocktail in the bar area (included in the price of admission). The sweet and highly flavorful additive gives dimension and body to everything they mix. Take the tour, buy the spirit (available in many local stores) and happy mixing.

Absolutely a great place!! Everyone there is so pleasant and helpful! The tasting is great! You can try all the liquors they offer and at the end of your tour you get a mixed cocktail!! We went to one of the events where you learn how to make some of their cocktails! What a fun event! We made 5 different cocktails! If your ever in the Hartford area I suggest you stop by!

Its cool to see local businesses work to survive the Covid pandemic and Hartford Flavor Company is no exception. They were able to use their distillery to make hand sanitizer for public and school system use. What they normally have are naturally flavored liquers for use in your adult beverages. Diana's Lair is their taste testing room, and what a fantastic discovery. If you like to taste wine or beer, or like flavored drinks, try Diana's Lair. Great presentation, fantastic flavors, and a small yet extremely personable staff. A 5 star experience.

My daughter and I had a coupon for 50% off tour and tasting, this effectively made it $5 per person. We had never heard of Hartford Flavor Company or Wild Moon Liquors until someone handed us this coupon at a local liquor store. What a great local find! If it wasn't for the GPS to get us to the destination I would have never known this was hidden in Hartford. Our guide was very nice and personable. She explained that they are not really a distillery, but a flavor infuser. We first got small tastings of all the flavored liquors. Then a tour of the facility which is short but interesting. After the tour your led to a tasting room which is essentially a bar to try a mixed drink with the flavored liquor in it (all included in your admission). The drinks were delicious. My daughter and I each had our own and shared one more specialty drink. We ended up purchasing a 6 pack of the various flavors and one larger bottle of the birch flavor the is aged in a bourbon cask. I used that bottle at a winter party in homemade hot chocolate. I might never drink regular hot chocolate again! Another favorite flavor is the Chai Spice. This is well worth a stop if your in the Hartford area.

This local tasting room is a great addition to Hartford! Located near Real Artways. Pulling into the parking lot for Hartford Flavor your not sure what to expect from the location but I was happily surprised when I walked into the front door into a very cute tasting room. The chandeliers are adorable, the "natural" look and feel of everything provides a nice cozy environment for guests to chat and interact with the bar tender. There are cute glasses that you can purchase along with lots of options of bottles you can buy. The tasting room takes place in the actual "factory". Lelania, the owner and creator, provided us with a great tasting tour of how she makes each liqueur and why she created it. The room is spacious and clean. Liqueurs are REALLY GOOD! I wasn't sure what to expect coming into this tasting, I was blown away with how good they all tasted. I'm excited to go back and try more cocktails or to mix them up myself at home! The tasting is $10 which includes a cocktail of your choice at the end!

What a little gem! Came here for a private party and was super impressed by the tasting room, the drinks and the food that was provided. Sure, it's hidden around back - near the Real Art Ways -- but it's warm and inviting on the inside. Staff couldn't have been nicer and the drinks were something to relish. Can't wait for my next event here.

So excited to have found this gem! Several months ago I had found a Groupon including a tour, tasting, and cocktail for two, for a mere $9! Not only was the deal enticing, but the unique flavors of the liqueurs called me to purchase it. By the time that I finally got around to using the Groupon, it had expired. Fortunately, our fantastic guide Dan informed me that they would accept the expired Groupon and we were able to tour. We arrived on a Saturday afternoon and found ourselves in a small, inviting tasting room. Dan led us into the production room where we tasted all five of their liqueurs, including the seasonal cranberry. It was so exciting to hear how much care went into the production of each flavor. All of the flavors were so unique, but my favorites would have to be the birch and chai spice. The cocktail that I enjoyed was the birch and bourbon. The flavor of the birch really enhanced the bourbon, bringing merriment and delight to my palette. It was a delightful experience, and I look forward to returning in the future!

We went to the holiday mixology class and it was THE BEST ever. First of all, they provide pizza which I didn't intend on eating, but to my surprise, they had a gluten free/dairy free pizza which was AMAZING, and I needed considering the alcohol. We started by tasting 6 of their different liquors (all amazing), then made 3 of their signature cocktails. The attention to detail & all of the supplies they provided us with was truly astounding. Usually events like this at other places I feel like they are kind of cheap (i.e. when you go to wine tastings ect.), bht this event couldn't have been more well worth the money. Next time I will be sure to Uber so I can actually enjoy more of the cocktails we had made, and I can't wait to make a mistletoe margarita this holiday. I also was so happy to buy some bottles and candles as gifts at the end- the best part is this is a woman owned business! Thank you so much for a great time.

Shortly after tasting an excellent chai-flavored liqueur, and listening to the staff describe the endless possibilities of what to mix it in, I quickly made my way across a parking lot to get to Hartford Flavor's doors. I had the pleasure of meeting the shop's staff (owners/mixers) at a Creative Cocktail Hour held by Real Art Ways. I sampled each of the flavors in order, as the staff suggested, because the flavors go from lighter notes to heavier notes and the lighter should be tasted first. In addition to the staff, I instantly liked the chai flavor. I asked how much a bottle would be--$20--and where I could purchase it--at the company's shop right next door and in local liquor stores. The staff also told me how I could use the chai liqueur, including on ice cream and in hot chocolate, and gave me a list of cocktails they developed that use and highlight the liqueurs. (Yum!!) I thanked them for their sampling and tips, and continued to walk around the Creative Cocktail Hour. As I made my way home, I made a quick stop next door to Hartford Flavor's shop to get a bottle of the chai liqueur. The shop, it should be noted, is around the back of a building on the street so it's not easily found. You use the same entrance as Real Art Ways coming in from the street, but go left instead of right at the end of the driveway. It is also in the middle of construction, so I thought for a minute that it was not open until a kind staff member waved me in. She, too, was friendly and very helpful, telling me about the construction going on and the things I could use the chai in. I very much appreciated this company's kindness and assistance!! Hartford Flavor is definitely something to watch out for. It has great liqueurs that are very versatile in use in foods and drinks, in addition to a fantastic staff. The shop--under construction when I visited--will be a tasting room and a bar that crafts specialty cocktails. It will be a great place to meet friends and to try different tastes. I look forward to going there when it officially opens!! I know I will taste flavorful cocktails and receive excellent customer service.

This place is unique and absolutely amazing! I love the concept - they're a small and focused on creating a quality product. The liqueurs are all-natural and gluten free. They're more than just cocktail enhancers, they're an experience. The owner and staff are also very friendly and courteous. For $10 you get a guided tour of the space, a sample of all their Wild Moon Flavors (cranberry, rose, lavender, birch, and chai), and a cocktail. My favorite flavors are chai and rose.

I met the owner/co-creator, Lelania of the Wild Moon line , at a Total Wine demo they were giving several months ago. Very open and lovely person , and the samples I got to try were just beautiful. I am a professional ( trained at French Culinary Institute , NYC) Pastry Chef and have since purchased several as gifts for friends. Looking forward to visiting location, hopefully soon . The Lavender mixed into Good quality green tea is truly a beautiful thing ( and the Lavender comes from her own garden!) Hooray, for local business ! Highly recommend their products. Cucumber also delicate and surprisingly refreshing !

I can't say enough good things about this place! It's beautifully decorated, every liqueur was delicious, and our tour guide was super friendly and knowledgeable. To top it off, this company is female owned and operated. I went for the tour and tasting from Groupon, not planning to spend additional money, and ended up buying a sample pack plus their seasonal Cranberry flavor. I can't wait to try them out!

This place has been around the corner from me ever since I moved and had no clue! But so glad I have a clue now! All of their liqueurs are amazing! Non-GMO and gluten free and all natural. I am excited to go back each week and try all of their cocktails! The staff is amazing and knowledgeable. They are also 100% run by and owned by women. I will be coming back each week! I also bought some to make their cocktails at home.
