Christmas gin-making masterclass at the ŌBDO gin distillery

Let’s create a unique Christmas gin flavour together at our Latvian craft gin distillery ŌBDO in Riga, Miera iela 29!

Two brothers, in the heart of Riga, have set off on an exciting craft gin adventure, introducing the world to Latvia’s natural riches and creating a unique Latvian gin flavour.

Discover the world of craft gin by creating your own gin recipe. Together we will learn about the ingredients of gin and its production processes, and uncover the flavours and aromas that make up gin.

Listening to interesting stories about gin’s history, its production and today’s trends, you will learn the art of distillation at one of the copper stills, so that after the event you can go home with a bottle of the gin you created. During the evening you will also hear the story of ŌBDO, see how ŌBDO gin is produced, and taste both ŌBDO gin and ŌBDO gin cocktails.

masterclass, tasting and talk led by our Master Distiller (3 h);
