Ratafia workshop 2026 · Saturday July 11

A full day of fun and good company, where you’ll make your own ratafia liqueur while tasting damn fine wines and some of our favourite ratafias to inspire you.

We’ll enjoy a gourmet paella for lunch, and explore how local plants and herbs can add far more than just flavour to your creation. You’ll learn which ingredients grow around you and how they can elevate your drink in unexpected ways.
