Distillery Lubberhuizen

Our distillery immediately pulls you off your bike or out of your car. The monumental buildings with distillery kettle, wooden barrels, tasting room and store lie cozily together on the Waal dike. For centuries they have watched impassively as walkers and cyclists take the ferry and the buzz of the terrace of neighboring Het Veerhuis blows by. Many cannot resist the temptation to enjoy a glass of Eau de Vie, made from Betuwe fruit, under the old chestnut tree.

The clock of the adjacent Thick Tower quietly strikes the hours as the river water flows steadily. To the left is the old fire house, now the heart of the distillery. Here fermented fruit is distilled into noble Eaux de Vie in our copper kettle, handmade by family-owned Müller from the Black Forest. Around the corner, some drinks mature in oak barrels, while others rest in glass lady-jeannes.

Work is hard at work in the yard. The fruit is fermented and turned into pure Eaux de Vie in two rounds of distillation, the raw distillation and fine distillation. The tasting room, once an elementary school, provides a warm place to taste in bad weather. Our store also allows you to take home a bottle to enjoy at home.
