The Ancient Tella & Areke Brewing Adventure
$240.00
Discover Ethiopia’s Heritage Spirits & Craft Fermentation
Duration: Full Day
PROGRAM IN DETAIL
Step off the tourist trail and enter the warm, smoky hearths of rural Ethiopia’s independent female brewers. For millennia, Tella (an indigenous herbal beer) and Areke (a potent, clear grain spirit) have been at the heart of holidays, weddings, and community celebrations.
Behind Closed Doors
Following a traditional welcome, you will enjoy exclusive access to the private homes of local women who have preserved these secret fermentation recipes for generations.
The Alchemist’s Workshop
Handle traditional grains such as finger millet and barley, and discover Gesho, the unique wild buckthorn plant that serves as Ethiopia’s natural hops. Observe the fascinating process of smoking clay pots (Gan) with aromatic wood to create Tella’s distinctive flavor, and witness the ingenious bamboo distillation systems used to produce crystal-clear Areke.
To Your Health
Over a delicious village lunch, take part in a responsible tasting session where you will sample these remarkable heritage beverages at their source. Share stories with local families about past celebrations before concluding this unforgettable cultural experience with a traditional Ethiopian coffee ceremony.
