Guided tour for groups

Absinthe was born in this valley and forbidden for almost a hundred years. A guide from the Val-de-Travers takes your group through the museum on a departure of your own: the plants it is made from, the clandestine years, and the ritual that surrounds the glass.

Tell us the date you have in mind and who is coming. We answer with a proposal, and nothing is fixed until you have agreed it with us.

On request, all year round

Other group formats

A visit, a workshop, a table — or all three

A group day is composed rather than picked off a shelf. The guided visit can be extended by the Dessert défendu workshop, closed with an apéro, or held outside opening hours for your group alone.

Tell us the shape of the day you have in mind and we build it with you.
