DISTILLERIE DES ACHARDS

The Achards Distillery is first and foremost a project between friends that has given birth to a range of premium French spirits.
Our production method is based on local, traditional know-how that embodies the authenticity of the Vendée region.

Since 2020, our passion has guided each of our creations, combining tradition and innovation to offer our customers the very best experience. We showcase the riches of our terroir through the creation of authentic spirits, drawing on the treasures of the Vendée.

Our commitment to a short, eco-responsible supply chain is reflected in our close relationship with local producers and farmers, guaranteeing the freshness and quality of our ingredients. Each product we use is carefully selected to preserve its quality.

By choosing our whiskies, gins, vodkas, pastis or even our spritz, you'll discover a unique taste experience while helping to support the local economy, craftsmanship and know-how.
