Annwenn was the best host ever. This is a woman owned business and they make you feel welcome from the start. I was the only one signed up for the 11am class in English (if you can only find on Viator the 7pm English class, book it and then message through Viator asking to be put in the English version at 11am; that's what I did. The owner herself was happy to switch me.) I had an excellent time learning all about gin and the process at this distillery. I got to smell the various flavors you can add and they guide you step by step. Then while your gin is distilling and you sip on cocktails & munch on snacks, you get to use stamps to design your label. Overall an excellent way to remember Paris with a unique souvenir. This place is located just down the street from the Louvre and is a perfect way to try something off the beaten path. Really cannot recommend this experience and Annwenn enough!!

A Unique and Hands-On Gin Workshop in Paris
We did the gin workshop at La Distillerie de l’Arbre en Sec and it was an amazing experience. The workshop is hands-on, well explained, and really lets you understand the whole gin-making process, from botanicals to distillation. Everything is done at a relaxed pace, but you still learn a lot. Nicola, our host, was outstanding: knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to answer questions and made the whole experience both fun and interesting. The setting is intimate and authentic, which adds a lot to the experience. Finally, you leave with your own bottle of gin, made using your personal recipe. Don’t worry about getting it wrong, Nicola guides you through each step and explains everything clearly so you end up with a nice original gin. I would definitely do it again.

Fun and you have a souvenir to take home
The class at Distillerie d’Arbre Sec was fun and educational. The cocktails they served were out of this world. I would definitely do this class again as you could make a different gin each time.

Gin making class.

Fun, tasty, educational, with a souvenir!
Such a great time and I would highly recommend to anyone, even those who might not love gin! We went as a group of 4, two of us who really like gin and two who don't. It was so interesting to learn about the science behind making gin. Then you get to sample a few different kinds of gin. After that you get to make your own gin! For the two who didn't like gin so much it was nice as they got to flavor in a way that they would personally enjoy. At the end you get to bottle your gin and design your own label before you take it home. On top of that, they provided some delicious local snacks to munch on while you made your own. We had so much fun and after our trip, we had a great excuse to hang out again and try all of our gins. 10/10 would absolutely do it again!

Fan of gin, the workshop is essential!!!!
Really great! I had booked this workshop for my husband who is a Gin fan and we were not disappointed! Nicolas who animated the activity that day is really good. Professional, kind explains very well. Not too much theory, just what makes you know gin. Throughout the workshop we receive attentions that please. And at the end what pride to have created your own gin from start to finish and bottled. All promises are kept! To do without hesitation

A workshop to discover.
Offered for a friend's birthday, we spent a very nice and informative morning. One of the Charlottes welcomed us and took us to discover the secrets of making the Gin. Then make way for the practical work where we each distilled our bottle of gin. In short, a very rewarding morning...
