What the day feels like

What the half‑day feels like

Over six concentrated hours you move from orientation to demonstration to practice: a short instructional segment sets the technical framework, you taste vat and barrel samples to compare components, then you compose and bottle a signature blend under guidance. The rhythm is hands‑on and focused, aimed at delivering both learning and a tangible result.
