"Reopened in 2008 in Russia’s second largest city of St. Petersburg, the Russian Vodka Museum explores the creation, packaging, ritual, and culture of the country’s favorite drink.  From the earliest roots of the drink to the evolution of its production and consumption, the museum displays, bottles, stoppers, ephemera, and other displays to explain the importance of vodka to the Russian identity. There are rows and rows of empty bottles in all manner of shapes from human figures to machine guns and an extensive collection of traditional short vodka glasses most often used to drink vodka straight as opposed to using it as a mixer (which in itself is a concept probably better not discussed in the museum). The whimsical collection of stoppers on display are also of note, shaped like heads, animals, and mythical creatures. Informational displays explain vodka’s creation and history using wax figures to tell of its Russian origin and later the Russian government’s long standing hand in national vodka production including regulating who could produce the drink and developing a national standard of quality for the drink. Guests who take a tour of the Russian Vodka Museum need not fear that their exploration of vodka’s history be a dry experience as each tour is completed with a vodka tasting where guests can sample some real Russian vodka. There is also an adjacent gift shop where guests can stock up on vodka with which to impress and bore all of their friends with, since they can now detail the drinks extensive history." - ATLAS_OBSCURA

The staff at the front desk were very cold! Although the guy who waited on us was very helpful and recommended good dishes and vodka. One needs to pre-book for vodka museum tour. So we just got the audio tour, which was very detailed and covered a lot of historic stuff.

This place will convert you from distaste to love for vodka! We learned that commercial vodkas may contain chemicals. It is best to purchase the liquor from specialty stores. I could say the vodkas we all tried and brought home tasted very good, fruity and light.

Museum has lots of items related to vodka production. Second room is a bar where you taste 3 kinds of vodka and have some Russian zakuski's ;) worth a visit!!

The guide was giving another tour when we arrived so we had a snack in the attached restaurant while waiting. It is a little bit expensive but you get 200 rub off the entry fee if you order in the restaurant so bear that in mind. The tour itself was really interesting, I'd recommend getting the guide with tasting rather than just an audio. You try 3 vodkas at the end with snacks, and you get a really interesting insight into Russian culture. I would recommend visiting this museum.

Great collection of different varieties of vodka. You can try them too. Learn the history of evolution of vodka, admire the beautiful Russian dolls and different coloured and shaped shot glasses
