Tour Munich’s first certified organic brewery with malt and hop tastings, meet brewers, and try 4 organic beers for $24 in 1 hour.
“La guida era ottima! Un ragazzo giovane, pieno di entusiasmo. Ci ha spiegato molto bene il processo di preparazione della birra con annessi, connessi e possibili inconvenienti. Molto bravo, molto preparato. Unica perplessità, la guida era un praticante della birreria, chi lo sostituirà quando avrà finito il Praktikum?”
Wine on Canvas in Berlin pairs a guided paint workshop with a tasting of white, rosé, and red wines, in a friendly 2-hour session.
“Ich hätte gerne mehr über die Weine erfahren, es wurde kaum etwas dazu gesagt. Ein bisschen mehr Input hätte auch zu den Maltechniken dabei sein können. Insgesamt aber sehr schöne Sache.”
Hamburg ice-cream workshop: learn gelato basics, create your own flavor with vegan options, then enjoy two scoops and a hot drink.
A beginner-friendly Berlin casting workshop at Concept Lab, using natural materials to create one custom piece you can take home.
“Lovely way to spend an evening, there was nice conversation and the instruction on how to make your mould was very clear and helpful! We absolutely loved the things we made, it’s going to look great at home.”
Small-group stencil workshop in Munich with architect guide Philipp, a street-art walk, and six spray-painted stencil postcards in a heated container.
“Sehr zu empfehlen. mit moderner Technik und zweisprachigen Guide kann man auf einer reduzierten und fokussierten Strecke viel neues entdecken, was auch Einheimische nicht wussten. Im Gegensatz zu anderen Führungen, die tradierte Orte zeigen, so erfährt man beim diesem Ausflug nicht nur mehr über Streetart und andere künstlerische Phänomene der Urbanart, sondern erhält die Möglichkeit auf Postkartengröße professionell die Stenciltechnik anzuwenden. Dadurch kann man noch etwas als Erinnerung in haptischer Form mitnehmen und mit Freunden teilen. Vielen lieben Dank.”
Join Danylo in Berlin for a 90-minute smartphone photo workshop, with instant results, portrait tips, and real feedback.
“To say the least, we had so much fun! We are Berliners but went for this anyway. So glad we did! From the first moment on, Danylo‘s enthusiasm rubbed off on us. The entire session was very informative and inspiring. He is super adaptive and friendly. After the session itself, we continued to click some picture which turned out to be great! We highly recommend Danylo for a truly engaging adventure when you’re in Berlin.”
