  • 5Whiskey, History & a Damn Good Time

    I had an awesome time on the Wigle Whiskey distillery tour yesterday! Our tour guide was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I learned a lot about both whiskey and the history of Pittsburgh, which made the tour even more interesting. The whiskey tasting was great, and it was a fun way to experience what Wigle has to offer. Overall, it was a really enjoyable experience from start to finish. I’d definitely do the tour again and would recommend it to anyone who enjoys whiskey or wants to learn more about Pittsburgh’s history!

  • 5Enjoyable and fun tour

    If you're looking for a fun, affordable tour and interest in whiskey, this is a must. Our guide was outstanding—filled with energy, great historical insight, and always ready to answer questions. The whisky tasting itself was generous and varied. While it definitely serves as a fun way to buy a bottle, it's done in such a relaxed, enjoyable atmosphere that it feels completely worthwhile.

About Pittsburgh

Pittsburgh is a Pennsylvania city on three rivers, where bridges, hills and inclines frame a former steel town now known for museums and food.

Pittsburgh stands where the Allegheny and Monongahela rivers join to form the Ohio, and the point of land between them is Point State Park, with a tall fountain. The city grew in the nineteenth century on steel, glass and coal, helped by industrialists such as Andrew Carnegie, and its steep hills and hundreds of bridges earned it the nickname City of Bridges.

Top-ranked sights in Pittsburgh: Point State Park, PNC Park, Heinz Field.
