Weekday vs Weekend

#
  • Weekday: For a relaxed visit with fewer crowds, plan your trip Monday through Thursday from 1 pm to 3 pm when it tends to be quieter. You’ll have more space to explore the tasting rooms and enjoy the Mirror Bar at your own pace.
  • Weekend: Fridays and Saturdays bring a lively, social vibe, especially from 6 pm to 9 pm when many visitors stop by. If you prefer a more relaxed experience on these days, consider arriving closer to 1 pm or early afternoon before the crowds build.

  • Shoulder Season: Spring (April–June) and early autumn (September) offer a lively atmosphere with manageable crowds.
  • Low Season: For a quieter, more personal experience, visit in the winter months (January–March or November) when the city is less crowded.
