La Distillerie Citadelle Gin

It was here, back in 1996, long before gin became trendy, that Alexandre Gabriel had a rather bold idea: to challenge tradition and reinvent gin. Since then, creativity, audacity and a passion for experimentation have remained at the heart of everything we do!

Named the World's Best Visitor Attraction at the World Drinks Awards 2025, Citadelle Gin invites you to enjoy a truly surprising and immersive experience.

As you explore the estate, wander among the juniper trees grown on the property, discover the greenhouse and its many citrus varieties, awaken your senses at the spice bar, and step inside the spectacular cathedral of stills. Beneath its soaring arches, over eight metres high, discover an exceptional collection of antique copper stills and uncover the secrets behind one of the world's most awarded gin.

And the little ones? They're part of the adventure too! A fun treasure hunt invites children to follow the trail of Tom, the distillery's resident cat, throughout the visit. The perfect opportunity to enjoy this unique experience as a family!

For those eager to discover more, the experience continues with mixology workshops and tastings featuring others Maison Ferrand's iconic creations: Ferrand Cognac and Planteray Rum.

Before you leave, make sure to stop by the château's boutique, where you'll find limited editions and exclusive creations you won't find anywhere else!

More than just a distillery tour, it's an escape into nature, creativity and French craftsmanship, to be enjoyed with family or friends.
