    Then let your inspiration run wild as you pair up to create your own pastis recipe! Creativity is the name of the game. Start with a base of aniseed and pastis, then explore the 60 macerations and spices at your disposal.

    At the end of the workshop, you and your partner of the day will leave with a 1 litre bottle of pastis, the fruit of your joint creation. Get ready to bring a touch of Provence to your future parties!

    Artisans Distillateurs

    Tout a commencĆ© entre deux copains, Richard et Eloi. Ils sont en Ć©tudes d'ingĆ©nieur ensemble quand Richard crĆ©Ć© la Distillerie Ducret frĆØres, quā€™Eloi suivra avec enthousiasme mĆŖme aprĆØs leur sortie dā€™Ć©cole. Cette amitiĆ© entretenue entre un Lyonnais amoureux de sa ville et un fabricant de spiritueux, fait germer lā€™idĆ©e de ce projet, presque dessinĆ© dā€™avance, dans la tĆŖte des deux amis.

    IncubĆ© dans leur esprit pendant le premier confinement de 2020, ce projet a Ć©tĆ© dā€™abord pensĆ© Ć  trĆØs petite Ć©chelle. En fin dā€™annĆ©e, lorsque lā€™aventure Ducret frĆØres sā€™arrĆŖte et que la sociĆ©tĆ© est transmise, Eloi achĆØve au mĆŖme moment sa mission de chef de projet ; cā€™est ainsi que lā€™envergure va changer, avec dĆ©sormais trois personnes entiĆØrement dĆ©diĆ©es Ć  la future Distillerie de Lyon, car Esther, la conjointe de Richard, a rejoint lā€™Ć©quipage, piquĆ©e par sa passion contagieuse.

    La Distillerie est ainsi nƩe en janvier 2021. Dans cette distillerie, la troupe y concocte l'unique pastis lyonnais ainsi que plusieurs gins en cours d'Ʃlaboration.
