About this tour
Step into a working Parisian gin distillery for a hands-on hour exploring how small-batch spirits come to life. Your guide—someone who knows gin inside out—walks you through the production process before you taste the house range and build your own cocktail. It's the kind of experience where you'll understand why craft distillers obsess over botanicals and barrel selection.
Highlights
- Watch gin production from grain to bottle
- Taste multiple expressions from the distillery
- Mix and sip a cocktail you've crafted
- Learn botanical blending from a gin specialist
- Explore an off-the-radar Paris production space
What to expect
You'll start with a proper tour of the distillery floor—copper stills, ingredient storage, the whole setup. Your expert guide explains their philosophy on flavour profiles and why they chose their specific botanicals. Then comes the tasting: you'll sample 2–3 gins neat or with water to catch the nuances. Finally, you'll build a simple cocktail using their base spirit and a few modifiers, guided step by step. The whole thing takes roughly 60 minutes at an easy pace.
Good to know
Arrive 10–15 minutes early. Bring cash if you want to buy bottles; not all card payments work smoothly. Public transport gets you close. The space is fully accessible if you use a wheelchair. Pregnant travellers should skip this one—alcohol exposure during distillery visits isn't advised.
