Gin Making in Paris is a MUST DO
Annwenn was the best host ever. This is a woman owned business and they make you feel welcome from the start. I was the only one signed up for the 11am class in English (if you can only find on Viator the 7pm English class, book it and then message through Viator asking to be put in the English version at 11am; that's what I did. The owner herself was happy to switch me.) I had an excellent time learning all about gin and the process at this distillery. I got to smell the various flavors you can add and they guide you step by step. Then while your gin is distilling and you sip on cocktails & munch on snacks, you get to use stamps to design your label. Overall an excellent way to remember Paris with a unique souvenir. This place is located just down the street from the Louvre and is a perfect way to try something off the beaten path. Really cannot recommend this experience and Annwenn enough!!

A Unique and Hands-On Gin Workshop in Paris
We did the gin workshop at La Distillerie de l’Arbre en Sec and it was an amazing experience. The workshop is hands-on, well explained, and really lets you understand the whole gin-making process, from botanicals to distillation. Everything is done at a relaxed pace, but you still learn a lot. Nicola, our host, was outstanding: knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely welcoming. He took the time to answer questions and made the whole experience both fun and interesting. The setting is intimate and authentic, which adds a lot to the experience. Finally, you leave with your own bottle of gin, made using your personal recipe. Don’t worry about getting it wrong, Nicola guides you through each step and explains everything clearly so you end up with a nice original gin. I would definitely do it again.

Fun and you have a souvenir to take home
The class at Distillerie d’Arbre Sec was fun and educational. The cocktails they served were out of this world. I would definitely do this class again as you could make a different gin each time.

Gin making class.

Fun, tasty, educational, with a souvenir!
Such a great time and I would highly recommend to anyone, even those who might not love gin! We went as a group of 4, two of us who really like gin and two who don't. It was so interesting to learn about the science behind making gin. Then you get to sample a few different kinds of gin. After that you get to make your own gin! For the two who didn't like gin so much it was nice as they got to flavor in a way that they would personally enjoy. At the end you get to bottle your gin and design your own label before you take it home. On top of that, they provided some delicious local snacks to munch on while you made your own. We had so much fun and after our trip, we had a great excuse to hang out again and try all of our gins. 10/10 would absolutely do it again!

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paris.
How much does Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop cost?
+
Prices start at $110 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paris usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paris is not rushed.
Is Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 19 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paris, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop?
+
Around 7 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paris can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paris and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Paris Craft Distillery Make Your Own Gin Workshop start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paris within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paris?
+
Paris rewards travelers who book ahead. The headline museums sell timed entry weeks out, the best food walks cap at eight people, and the Seine cruises that are worth doing are the ones that leave after sunset. Everything below is scored by the Outty Ranking so you can tell a genuine local favorite from a coach-tour filler in a single glance. On Outty we rank every Paris experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Louvre Museum Essential Guided Tour Semi Private 6 GUESTS MAX, Louvre Museum Premium Guided Tour 6 GUESTS MAX Entry Included, Paris City Center Free Walking Tour (Tip-Based). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paris?
+
April to June and September to October, when queues thin out and terraces stay open late. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paris?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
