Hierbas, an anise-flavoured liqueur, is a cornerstone of Ibiza's cultural heritage. Made by locals for generations using aromatic herbs that thrive in the island's Mediterranean climate, this traditional digestif reflects Ibiza's rich agricultural practices and the vibrant community that preserves these traditions. Known locally as "Hierbas" (Spanish for "herbs"), this iconic drink is more than a post-meal indulgence. Traditionally enjoyed over ice or as a shot, Hierbas captures the essence of Ibiza's Mediterranean climate and laid-back lifestyle.
Crafting Ibiza's Iconic Hierbas
At an authentic family-run distillery, guests discover the essence of Hierbas, a liqueur deeply rooted in Ibiza's traditions. The experience begins with a guided tour, where participants learn about the cultivation and importance of the herbs used in Hierbas production. After the tour, they take part in an interactive workshop where they experiment with different herb combinations to create their own unique Hierbas blend, just as Ibicencos have done for centuries. As their creations steep, guests enjoy a tasting of local products, deepening their appreciation of Ibiza's agricultural heritage. By the end of the workshop, participants will have created their own blend of Hierbas, a tangible link to Ibiza's rich herbal heritage that they can enjoy long after their visit.
Diving Deeper into Ibiza’s Culture
As a complement to the Hierbas workshop, guests can further explore Ibiza's culture. A Tapas Tour of Ibiza Town offers the chance to enjoy the island's diverse and delicious flavours. For a deeper immersion into the Mediterranean lifestyle, a Finca Xperience introduces guests to the traditional Ibicenco way of life. For those seeking to experience more of the island's natural beauty, a mountain bike tour or hike can be arranged along scenic trails that showcase the diverse landscapes that contribute to Ibiza's unique character and Mediterranean charm.
