Overview

What sets this experience apart is Pedro himself. Unlike large commercial distilleries, here you are welcomed personally by the founder and master distiller - a man whose life story spans three continents. Born in Portugal, raised with Angolan roots, and now rooted in Puglia, Pedro's dual heritage makes his distillery a true cultural bridge, and every bottle reflects that unique fusion.

The distillery is small, artisanal, and alive: you feel the warmth of the copper stills, smell the botanicals transforming, and hear the process unfold. Groups are kept to a maximum of 12 guests to ensure genuine, personal interaction. No scripts, no shortcuts - just authentic craftsmanship and real conversation with the man behind every bottle.

Pedro has brought his international expertise to the heart of Salento - blending techniques refined across Europe with the wild botanicals of Puglia. A truly one-of-a-kind encounter you won't find anywhere else in Italy.

What you will do

Stop 1
Upon arrival, Pedro personally welcomes guests with a handcrafted artisanal aperitif - the first sensory preview of what's to come, with citrus notes, spice hints, and herbal aromas already telling the story.
The group then enters the beating heart of the distillery: copper pot stills, traditional tools, and the warmth of active production. Pedro guides the visit step by step - from the selection of raw botanicals to distillation and finishing - sharing technical knowledge alongside personal stories, challenges, and the passion behind every batch.
Next, guests explore the product display area, where the full Pedro Ferreira range is presented: elegant bottles, carefully designed labels, each with its own identity - Gin Mágico, Gin 585.5 Miles, Tiptoe Tropical Gin, and more.
The experience culminates in a full tasting session: spirits are paired with a selection of traditional Salento products (crispy friselline, tarallini, olives, focaccine) alongside Portuguese specialties such as Chourico Assado - a nod to the distillery's dual soul. Flavors intertwine, creating contrasts and harmonies that elevate every sip.
