Class description
The gin workshop at Hotel Halber Mond in Heppenheim offers you more than just a simple tasting.
Under the guidance of an excellent master distiller, you will dive deep into the world of gin: from history and origin to the art of sensory technology (how do I really see, smell and taste) to practice at the still.
Experience a tasting in the atmospheric vaulted cellar and try out various gins and tonics. An experience that offers you exciting insights and goes far beyond the usual!
The Half Moon Hotel
The Hotel Halber Mond in Heppenheim, southern Hesse, offers its own distillery, cozy rooms and versatile function rooms. The building is designed in Biedermeier style, with Greek columns and a temple-like pediment. The interior is dominated by bright colors, which make the rooms feel inviting. Known as an inn since the 17th century, it was rebuilt after a fire in 1911 according to plans by Heinrich Metzendorf. After a three-year renovation, it opened as a hotel in 2011. The in-house distillery produces brandy, liqueur and gin, which can be tasted in the restaurant, wine cellar or beer garden.
