Why not come see (and smell) what’s going on in our Lab? The Alembics Lab is a workspace for aromatic distillation and botanical learning. We teach people the fundamentals of distillation—for aromatic spirits, hydrosol (aromatic water-based products) and essential oils—as well as how to work with natural aroma and flavour for food, drink and cosmetics. We offer product development consultations for businesses and individuals, and from November 2024 we’ll be opening up our Lab for regular in-person distillation workshops and events.
Hours
The Lab is open from 10-4 every weekday and you are welcome to visit us at the Old Blackpool Store, 13 Moa Ave, just down the road from Oneroa Village. We will be hosting distillation and aromatic workshops in the Lab from November 2024, and in the meantime we are holding winter workshops at the Surfdale Hall.
