PDW5 – Agarwood Wine-Making Workshop

₱25,000.00

Comprehensive Agarwood Wine-Making Workshop

In the heart of the tropics where Aquilaria trees whisper their ancient fragrance, a new tradition is born — the art of transforming the soul of agarwood into wine.

The Agarwood Wine-Making Workshop celebrates the union of nature, science, and craftsmanship. Rooted in centuries-old Asian reverence for agarwood — once known as “liquid gold” — this training reimagines its essence into an aromatic elixir that honors both tradition and innovation.

Participants are guided through each step of the process — from extracting agarwood essence to fermenting and crafting a refined beverage that carries the warm, mysterious scent of the forest. More than a class, it is a journey of sensory discovery, blending the wisdom of natural fermentation with the allure of perfumery and wellness.

Each bottle of agarwood wine created through this workshop tells a story — of patience, purity, and purpose. It embodies the philosophy that every drop, like the agarwood itself, is a symbol of transformation and value born from nature’s harmony.

This workshop invites farmers, artisans, and visionaries to take part in a growing movement — one that transforms the Agarwood Tree from a sacred wood into a sustainable legacy of aroma, flavor, and culture.
