Birthday planning can be either a drag or blast. I opted for fun especially when it is for someone else which happened to be this particular case. A loved ones Birthday was approaching and I wanted to plan something which he and we would all enjoy, something kind of out of the ordinary. Movies? Nah. Party? Not in the mood. Dinner? I mean food is always an option with me but we needed something more! I hopped on Groupon for inspiration to stumble across the amazing Hartford Flavor.


Hartford… Sounds familiar with it being the capital of Connecticut and all but maybe Hartford + Flavor isn’t ringing a bell so… what is Hartford Flavor about? Hartford Flavor Company serves a unique variety of liqueur. No I didn’t spell liquor wrong, liqueur as in what was once used as a medicine but a sweetened elixir if you will. Yeah that stuff.

What makes a person decide to get involved in that? I don’t want to give it all away as the story can be told best with a tour just like the one which we went on but Founder Lelaneia developed a gluten allergy. Prosecco was the only drink which she felt catered well to her allergy until it just didn’t cater well anymore. Lelaneia and CEO Tom began experimenting and perfected their first flavor of cranberry liqueur which took off as it became a hit at a party marking the beginning of The Wild Moon liqueur brand. 


Today there are 6 different and tasteful flavors of the healthy and gluten free Wild Moon liqueres on the market including the infamous cranberry, cucumber, rose, chai spice, lavender, and birch. All of these flavors are available to sample during one of their tours which take place on Fridays from 4pm-7 pm, Saturdays 1pm-6pm, and Sundays from 2pm-5pm for a reasonable fee of only $10. Included in the fee is a brief on the company and how it began, a sample of all 6 marketed flavors (possibly a great new flavor releasing on the market soon as we were able to sample), a light snack, a tour of how the liqueurs are created and ends with the option to have a drink of your choice in Diana’s Lair from their plethora of recipes featuring one of the Wild Moon flavors previously tasted. 


The tour is so well planned and the decor of the location compliments the wonderful flavors and what Hartford Flavor has to offer. It it almost impossible to walk out without at least one bottle. There are several sizes available for purchase with the smallest retailing at $5. None of us walked out empty handed and I have given several away as gifts with nothing but amazing feedback, which reminds me that I am due to restock.


Oh and in case you were wondering, my fave flavors were Cranberry and cucumber and we had a funky good time per usual with these Love bugs. (From Left to right: Iana, Jamae, Yours truly, and Aaron).
