Alembics NZ

Workshop with us in Auckland and Waiheke!

If you have not yet been to an Alembics workshop we have two pretty special events lined up for March and April, and you don't need to have any previous experience with aromatics or distilling to attend either of them.

7th March we have Gin at Highwic, located in Auckland's Newmarket, close to public transport links and with tons of parking.

Anzac weekend (25 &26 April) is the alchemical wonder that is Plant to Perfume - https://mailchi.mp/25d57d4a8d2d/xx-argjp2iq14-10965897

How many times a day do we wish for smell-o-vision to share what we’re doing?

We have a group for a Lab Day today, and this armload of citrusy and herbaceous botanicals is so refreshing. A welcome pleasure on these hot days.
