āļøāļøāļøāļøāļø Unique local experience with superior customer service and genuine passion for what they do!
In March of 2021 we booked a cajun encounters tour and were lucky enough to be assigned Luca as our tour guide.
It was the best tour we had ever been on. He is extremely knowledgeable about the fauna and flora as well as history and heritage of the entire area. I wonāt go into detail about this one but will say it is WELL WORTH the trip outside the city!
Fast forward about 2 and a half years and we are back in New Orleans with family members who did not get to experience the swamp tour; so my husband called to see if we could get Luka again. Unfortunately, he was no longer doing swamp tours, but the person on the phone was kind enough to tell us that Luca is now full time at 73 Distillery (their sister business).
I contacted the distillery and found out Luca had a busy day but if he was there when we are visiting they would be sure we get a chance to say āHiā. I thought that was nice and hoped my husband would be happy with that.
Upon arrival we received a warm welcome. There were six in our group, some drinkers and others not so much. Brian was our guide for the tasting and tour. He was knowledgeable, funny, and made the tour enjoyable for all of us. At this point I would have already recommended this to anyone.
But wait thereās more! Luca met our group at the end of the tour and gave us an extended version. Sharing even more fascinating information, introduced us to Jeff, one of the founders as well as Chris an assistant distillers. We had a phenomenal time and learned a lot.
I want to say THANK YOU so much from myself and family. Luca, you did not have to go above and beyond like you did but oh how we appreciated it! It just demonstrates what an amazing person you are and it is obvious that you have a fantastic team as well!

I had the pleasure of taking a distillery tour recently, and I can honestly say it was one of the most enjoyable experiences Iāve had in a long time! What truly set it apart was our incredible tour guide, Ashley ā a comedian by trade, and an absolute gem in this setting.
From the moment the tour began, Ashley had the whole group laughing and fully engaged. She managed to strike the perfect balance between humor and information, making the science and history of distilling feel fun and accessible. You could tell she was not only passionate about the craft but also genuinely loved sharing that passion with others ā and making us laugh while doing it.
The tour itself was fascinating, offering a behind-the-scenes look at every step of the process, from grain to glass. The distillery was spotless and beautifully set up, and the samples we got to try were top-notch ā smooth, flavorful, and expertly crafted.
But again, what really made the tour unforgettable was Ashley. Her quick wit, charm, and deep knowledge turned what could have been a standard tour into a truly unique and entertaining experience. I walked away with a new appreciation for spirits, a smile on my face, and a few great jokes in my back pocket.
Highly recommend this tour to anyone ā whether you're a seasoned whiskey lover or just looking for a fun and educational afternoon. And if you're lucky enough to get Ashley as your guide, you're in...
