Three hours. A table full of spices. Two blends to take home. And an apéro, because that's just how we do it.

The Spice Lab is where curious people come to learn the art of spicing from scratch. You'll taste your way through flavour profiles, figure out what actually works together, and walk away with two custom blends you made yourself. No experience needed. Just show up hungry.

Groups of 4 to 20 (or even more) people are welcome.

What's included?

  • 3-Hour Workshop

    A hands-on deep-dive into the world of spices. Learn how flavours work, how to balance heat, depth and aroma — and leave with real skills.

  • Hands-on Blending

    No spectating. You'll taste, experiment and create at your own workstation, guided step-by-step by a spice expert.

  • Apéro Included

    Test your freshly made blends with a taster apéro. Good spices deserve good food — and good company.

  • 2 Blends to Take Home

    Your two custom spice blends go home with you, labelled and jarred. Plus a spice booklet with the key insights from the workshop.
