The Journey
Absinthe Distillery (France/Switzerland)

Discover the captivating story behind this once-banned spirit, from its origins as a medicinal elixir to its bohemian allure and subsequent prohibition. Tour a traditional distillery to witness the production process firsthand, from the maceration of herbs like wormwood, anise, and fennel to the distillation and coloring. Finally, partake in a tasting ritual, appreciating the complex flavors and understanding the proper preparation – the slow drip of ice water over a sugar cube. Complement the absinthe experience with the flavors of Provence through local tapenades, a rich olive-based spread, creating a delightful pairing that celebrates the region's unique culinary heritage. This isn't just a tasting; it's an immersion into a cultural phenomenon with a dark and fascinating past.
