Our previous students have enjoyed a great deal of success after attending our Hands-on Workshops, but we often hear how difficult it is to put life on pause and join us for a full weekend in Vancouver, WA. So, to make it as easy as possible for you to access a comprehensive education in distilling, we’ve decided to bring the Workshop to you!
The content covered in the Online Workshop is the same as what you would find at the Hands-on Workshop, with the exception of the hands-on activities we normally perform. You will still have the same opportunity to ask questions and get individualized responses from the instructors.
Workshop dates (all Tuesday and Thursday evenings): 7/9, 7/11, 7/16, 7/18, 7/23 and 7/25
Class time: All students should log in to the Online Workshop by 6pm PST. Class will begin at 6:05pm PST and end at about 7:15pm PST.
Interaction: You’ll be able to communicate in realtime with the instructors via your keyboard. Bring all your questions!
Software Used: No need to download any additional software. You’ll just log in to account on our website and view the Workshop just like a YouTube video.
