Cocktail Workshop
Shakers, jiggers, craft syrups and Norman spirits: your teams become bartenders for a playful, creative and (very) convivial workshop at the Palais Bénédictine or in a privatised room.
Mixology & terroir
Shaker in hand, creativity in mind
The cocktail workshop is one of the most convivial and unifying activities for a seminar or team building. Guided by a professional bartender, your teams learn the basic techniques of mixology and create their own recipes from carefully selected ingredients.
At the Palais Bénédictine in Fécamp, the workshop takes on an exceptional dimension: participants discover the secrets of the Bénédictine liqueur before creating cocktails inspired by its 27 herbs and spices. A neo-Gothic and Renaissance architectural setting unique in Europe.
In the mobile format, the workshop can be held at your seminar venue or in a privatised Norman space. A mocktail version is available for participants who prefer not to drink alcohol.
“The cocktail workshop is when team building becomes delicious.”
