Creative Gin-Making Masterclass at ŌBDO Distillery

Create your own unique gin flavour with us at Latvia’s craft gin distillery, ŌBDO, at Miera Street 29 in Riga! Two brothers with Riga in their hearts have embarked on an exciting craft gin adventure, introducing the world to Latvia’s natural riches and creating a unique Latvian gin flavour.

Discover the world of craft gin by creating your own unique gin recipe. Together, we’ll learn about gin’s ingredients and production processes, and explore the flavours and aromas that shape gin. As you listen to interesting stories about gin history, production and current trends, you’ll learn the art of distillation at one of our copper stills and go home with a bottle of the gin you’ve created.

During the evening, you’ll also hear the ŌBDO story, learn about ŌBDO’s gin-making processes, and sample ŌBDO gin and gin cocktails.

- A 3-hour masterclass, tasting and presentation led by our Master Distiller
- One ŌBDO gin cocktail tasting (150 ml) on arrival
