Distillerie Helvia

The distillery is based on the desire to produce spirits rooted in their territory, in order to reflect it and preserve the environment as best as possible.
The distilled ingredients are sourced as locally as possible to support Ardèche producers, thus reducing the distances traveled. Organic farming, or at least sustainable farming, wild harvesting, and the promotion of local resources guide the preparation choices.
So, no lemon zest in the gin, nor any future rum to hope for, but bottles that contain the best that the Ardèche and its surroundings have to offer.

The distillery operates with a 1935 still, fully restored after being doomed to destruction, which traveled through village squares for decades before landing in Ardèche.
There, thanks to its operation by injecting steam into separate vessels, we produce particularly soft and aromatic eaux-de-vie.
Thus, whisky, gins, absinthe and fruit eaux de vie rub shoulders in the vapors of the still and the patient aging in barrels or glass bottles.
