Our Day:

- Includes how to layer the botanicals for distillation, using a pyramid structure of base, mid and top notes.
- Next, we’ll guide you as you create your own eau de parfume using our classic gin perfume accords.
- Includes tips on evaluating and balancing your blend.
- BREAK FOR LUNCH PLATTER
- Waiheke Distillery Co gin tasting.
- Distillery tour—take a peek inside Waiheke Distilling Co’s still room for a Q&A with the head distiller.
- After your tour, we’ll complete our distillation, and you can create a second perfume, as we take our perfume from the still and personalize it with your choice of aromatics from our perfume library.
- Bottle and name your perfumes, ready to take home.
