One-day distillery workshop at Distillerie de la Forge
Go behind the scenes of artisan distillation and immerse yourself alongside Loïc, an experienced artisan distiller. The program includes a half-day apprenticeship at the heart of a traditional know-how passed on with generosity.
Loïc will introduce you to the secrets of distillation: discover the basics of fruit fermentation, then witness the distillation process in a real wood-fired alembic. You’ll learn how to control temperatures, decipher aromas and understand the precise gestures that make this ancestral practice so rich.
Between two technical stages, you’ll share a convivial, local snack at the foot of the still, while you chat with your host. A tasting of the spirits produced on site completes this gourmet and sensory immersion.
To extend the experience at home, we offer a 10% discount on all distillery products in our boutique. A great opportunity to bring a little of this art home with you.
Reserve your place for a unique immersion in the distiller’s craft, combining tradition, taste and know-how!
