PUERTO DE INDIAS
Workshop: Distil Your Own Gin
The most surprising activity is the distillation workshop,
where the visitor creates their own gin using individual
miniature stills. Botanicals are selected – coriander,
juniper, citrus peels, flowers, spices – and a personal
recipe is designed. During the process, key concepts
are explained: how to separate the phases of distilla-
tion, how to adjust the aromatic intensity, and how to
balance the fruit without eclipsing the juniper.
The final result is a unique bottle, labelled with the visi-
tor’s personal formula: a liquid souvenir of the journey
and, in a way, the distilled version of a signature gin.
For those planning a trip around Seville, Puerto de In-
dias offers a different and complementary proposition.
It is half an hour from Seville, can easily be combined
with lunch in Carmona, and adds a new layer to the
classic triangle of fortified wines, olive oils, and tradi-
tional cuisine.
After the visit, a clear sensation remains: a new way to
explore a territory. The distillery does not compete with
the winery or the olive oil mill: it enriches them. And for
the gastronomic traveller, this trilogy – wine, oil, and
spirits – turns the Sevillian countryside into an even
more complete and suggestive destination.
