Creative gin-making masterclass at the ŌBDO distillery in Riga

Create your own gin with us at the ŌBDO craft gin distillery, Miera iela 29, Riga.

Two brothers in the heart of Riga set out on a craft gin adventure, introducing the world to Latvia's natural riches through a unique Latvian gin flavour.

You will explore the world of craft gin by creating your own gin recipe. Together we look at the ingredients and processes of gin making, discover the flavours and aromas that define gin, and hear the story of gin history and today's trends. At one of our stills you learn the art of distillation and take home a 200 ml bottle of the gin you made.

Included: a three-hour masterclass, tasting and talk led by our Master Distiller; a welcome ŌBDO gin cocktail (150 ml); a tour of the distillery and production; tastings of ŌBDO SŌUL, ŌBDO ADŌRE and ŌBDO NEGRŌNI (20 ml each) and of ŌBDO x Rocket Bean, Latvia's first gin coffee liqueur (20 ml); an ŌBDO gin and tonic or ŌBDO Negroni; a tasting of ŌBDO DZIIVA bean-to-bar chocolate made in Latvia from gin ingredients; small snacks.

Distillation is done in groups of 4–6 people at one still. Maximum group size is 12 people. Duration up to 3 hours. For people aged 18 and over. You must not drive after the tasting.
