About this activity
Itinerary
Hierbas (pronounced year-bass) is a herbal liqueur that has been made on this island using wild herbs for generations. It's so unique to the culture of Ibiza. It's even protected by law. Often it's consumed as digestif after a meal. It's hard to come to Ibiza and not come across this unique liqueur.
We offer a unique and fun experience for you to create this liqueur for yourself. We cover all the history of the liqueur on the island, and have a huge display of all the wild picked herbs that grow all around Ibiza. In some locations we an venture into the forest to pick the wild herbs too. An unforgettable experience where you get to have fun in a hands-on way while learning about some of the local history!

PhillipThomas owned and teaches the Yierbas workshop. I would recommend to contact the vendor a day before for the right location since there are three different locations because Viator might have the wrong location printed in your confirmation. My mom and I had a blast during the workshop and it was the highlight of our trip in Ibiza, Spain. Also, during the workshop, we made our own Hierbas to take with us home. My mom can't stop talking about it with her friends when she get back in the U.S. Phillip is edifying when he teached. The overall experiences was memorable and amazing. A definitely "MUST DO" when you are in Ibiza. It's not just partying and drinking in Ibiza. There are other things the island can offer like this workshop. You will have the BEST time in your life!
We really enjoyed our three hours with Phil. We arrived at 4pm and went foraging for herbs to use in our hierbas. From the get go, you could tell this chap was knowledgable and pointed out the different types of juniper (and how you could tell) as well as helping us pick other herbs such as rosemary, fennel, wild thyme and sage to use in our hierbas when we got back to the workshop. When we got back, we had a number of different samples to try so we could get a feel for how vastly different the flavours can be across the commercial brands as well as having the opportunity to taste his own. This gave us all a great idea of what flavours we would enjoy most. Once the tastings were done, we began to pop our own herbs into our individual bottles and were given some guidance on how much of each to add so we could achieve our own unique flavour profile. Once complete, our bottles were filled with alcohol before being sealed with wax. Overall the workshop was great fun and we wouldn't hesitate to recommend it to anyone looking to do something different whilst embracing part of the ibizan culture. We can't wait to try our finished product in 3 months when it's ready.
