Classes & Experiences
Looking for an exciting activity to do with friends, family or co-workers?
Our cocktail classes and guided pairings offer a unique, fun and memorable experience that only Mann’s Distillery can deliver.
Rum and Chocolate Pairing
We have selected 3 rums - each with a distinct style (Venezuelan, Jamaican, Canadian) and paired each with locally crafted artisan chocolates.
This 75 minute tasting reviews the difference between styles of Rum, discussing production methods used and tasting notes on each Rum. Participants nose and taste each rum and then marry this with various flavours of Chocolate to elevate the experience into an amazing sensory experience that highlights the attributes of each Rum.
Each serving is 1 1/2 ounces of Rum, so if you plan on indulging, be aware of this when making your plans on attending.
Our attendees have found this to be a educational experience for both the novice and knowledgeable Rum drinker.
We are currently only booking this for groups of 8 or more. Please call the distillery to book your private session.
$45 + tax per person
Cocktail Class
This 75 minute class walks you through the making of 3 different cocktails that use various methods and ingredients.
People should expect to learn basic ratios when making a cocktail, the equipment and methods used, and various flavours.
We highlight the use of Bitters - a key ingredient in elevating cocktails, as well as some of own spirits produced onsite at the distillery.
Each cocktail contains 1 1/2 ounces of spirit so participants are encouraged to plan for this when making driving arrangements.
This is held in our Upstairs mezzanine overlooking the tasting bar, which is NOT handicap accessible.
You should expect an educational but fun and interactive session.
$45 + tax per person
Bitters Workshop
Want to create your very own, personalized gifts?
This workshop is a 2-part class.
In our first class - you should expect to be here for 2 hours - each person creates their very own Bitters using our various Botanicals. We assist you in the selection and preparation of this, and then this needs to steep for 8 weeks.
In our second session, you return to strain / filter your bitters, create your very own personalized label, then bottle it.
We supply all the ingredients including high-proof alcohol and all your botanicals, bottles and labels.
Each person takes home 10 bottles of their own bitters.
We will be using our production area for this, so you will need non-slip shoes and clothes that may possibly get stained!
$100 + tax per person includes all material and packaging
Call the Distillery to arrange a date for any group of 4 or more.
