We don't talk about distillation here, you live it. The “old-fashioned distilling” workshop is an immersive experience to understand the gestures of the trade: you collect, observe, smell and leave with your bottle.
For 2 hours, you start with a clear context: what an agricultural distillery is, what you distill, and how a still transforms a plant into an essential oil. Then head to the fields: sickle in hand, you cut the lavender, group it into bales and return to the distillery where the preheated still is ready to work.
The rest takes place “at the heart of the machines”: observation of the steam/condensation cycle and visit of the restored stills. The workshop concludes with a sensory sequence: olfactory to differentiate lavender and lavender, tasting of craft syrup with Vercors water and delivery of your souvenir bottle.

I welcome you for a 2 hour DE distillation workshop, to introduce you to the ancestral gestures of the trade. An experience for the whole family! After a presentation DE my work and DE explanations on the EN t function DE l'alambic, head to the fields, sickle in hand, for the 1st step: cutting the lavender flowers. Once in bales, return to the distillery where the preheated still awaits you to deliver its precious essential oil a little later. Visit DE premises amidst ancient stills restored by André, then olfactory session to differentiate lavender from lavender. All that remains is to make a small detour through the beautifully flowered fountain to taste the syrup DE lavan DE artisanal with spring water from the mountains of Vercors... And everyone leaves with their little bottle of essential oil!
