In Chamaloc, a distillery that awakens all your senses

The 4 Valleys Distillery, deeply and passionately Drômoise

From 1930 the AUBANEL family, like many other farmers living in the Drôme mountains where fine lavender grows naturally, began to pick this wild lavender. It will quickly become his main activity.

Established in Chamaloc since 1981, the Distillerie des 4 Vallées is first and foremost a traditional agricultural operation. About 30 hectares of lavender and lavandin are cultivated, but also hay and cereals. The farm also raises sheep, horses, donkeys, dwarf rabbits and guinea pigs.

The 4 Valleys Distillery claims strong values, heritage of its long agricultural and craft past: protection of the natural environment, transparency, high quality and traceability of its products, local and craft production, warm welcome. A beautiful ambassador of the Drôme!
