Distillery tours

Practical informations
Shuttle buses run between Fleurier, Môtiers, Couvet and Les Bayards. In addition, the R21 train line runs at least 1x an hour, so you can move easily from one village to another.
Guided tours
Two immersive journeys, which must be booked in advance: one on the heritage of absinthe and the other on the clandestine nature of absinthe.
The Fête de l’Absinthe
After twenty editions in Boveresse, the Fête de l’absinthe gave way in 2018 to Absinthe en fête. Now in “open distilleries” format, this event allows visitors to visit several Val-de-Travers distilleries during the day, as well as the Maison de l’Absinthe in Môtiers and the Séchoir à absinthe in Boveresse.
