The Elements of Flavour Part One - Waiheke Workshop

Learn how to distil and work with natural aroma and flavour to create your own bespoke blends for skincare, perfume, food and drinks.

Back by popular demand! Our Elements of Flavour workshops come to Waiheke Island this winter to enliven your senses. Join us for something truly special—a pair of workshops led by The Alembics Lab Founder Jill Mulvaney, that take you on a deep dive into the world of aroma and flavour.

Each workshop is a full day of exploration and experimentation dedicated to different materials and techniques.

Part One (Saturday 20th July) is dedicated to building flavour using water as your base (or solvent) and covers hydro and steam distillations, herbal honeys and zero ABV botanical drinks.

Part Two (Saturday 24th August) is dedicated to using alcohol as a conduit for flavour, and covers vapour-infusion techniques, gin-making and blending with quintessences (individual botanical extracts) and elixirs.

These workshops are for anyone interested in learning how to work with the building blocks of flavour—creating their own aromatic products, recipes and botanical blends. We will be using a variety of techniques and tools that will enable you to understand and use flavour in new ways.
