Elephant Gin Unveils Eco-Focused, Immersive Distillery in Germany
Elephant Gin, a B Corp-certified brand, has inaugurated a cutting-edge distillery and visitor hub in Wittenberg, Germany, amplifying its production prowess. Located just outside Hamburg, this state-of-the-art facility is engineered to meet surging demand and aligns with the brand’s eco-conscious objectives.
Visitors can dive into behind-the-scenes tours, hands-on botanical sessions, and even craft their own gin. The space showcases elite distilling gear, including an Arnold Holstein copper still and rotary evaporators, setting the stage for avant-garde product collaborations with industry pros.
An African-themed bar and a botanical garden further elevate the visitor experience. Founded in 2013 by Robin and Tessa Gerlach, Elephant Gin aims to capture the essence of their African escapades. Previously produced at an off-site location, the new distillery’s opening overcame pandemic-induced setbacks.
Robin Gerlach stated, “This venture is a testament to our core principles—craftsmanship, transparency, and passion. We’re thrilled to offer an interactive experience that engages all senses.”
Tessa Gerlach emphasized the launch as a pivotal moment for the brand, inviting guests to explore the gin’s roots and its conservation initiatives. Since its founding, Elephant Gin has channeled 15% of bottle profits to African elephant conservation.
