Owner's Message
In the heart of the Rhone Valley in Saint Désirat, the JEAN GAUTHIER Distillery's still museum recounts the charm and history of a vanished past, that of the itinerant distillers.
On 1400 m2 of exhibition space, magnificent copper apparatuses coming from the four corners of France, as well as a collection of materials, utensils and other tools constitute in 30 pictures the memory of a part of our rural heritage.
While walking through the museum you will discover the DISTILLERIE JEAN GAUTHIER: the distillation workshop, the bottling line, one of our ageing cellars and the whole manufacturing process thanks to a slide show of digital images. At the end of the visit, a free tasting of our products will be offered.
Duration of the visit: 60 to 90 minutes.
Free entrance for individuals (groups (20 people) please contact us)
FREE TASTING.
Open every day all year round.

La magie de Noël est un peu gâché du au personnel pas très accueillant.
Et une distillerie est pas une cave à vin alors en devanture derrière le bar il vaudrait mieux mettre les produits du domaine Gauthier.Les vignerons en gagne déjà bien assez .
Joyeux Noël ????
