Licors Portet 1883

The Portet 1883 liqueur factory is located at Avenida de San Miguel del Pui, number 4, in La Pobla de Segur, in the Pallars Jussà region. It was founded in 1883 by the Borrell Ribera family and later passed into the hands of the Portet family.

The artisanal process

The visit begins at the Espai Ratafia, a small museum of tools, photographs and old liquor labels where you can also see an important collection of miniature liquors from around the world and a collection of more than 100 bottles of ratafia from Catalonia, France, the United States, Poland and Italy.

In the factory itself, the history of more than 130 years is told, the various traditional Pyrenean liqueurs that are produced (anise, cassis liqueur, beer liqueur, forest fruit liqueur, pacharán, mushroom brandy, orange liqueur, orange liqueur, liquorice liqueur...) origins linked to the farmhouses and monastic roots.

Raftmen's Ratafia

The explanation of the production process of Ratafia dels Raiers stands out, a liqueur with a 50-year tradition, made from macerated green walnuts and aromatic plants distilled in a bain-marie still over wood fire.

You can visit the space where the still is located, the cellar with the casks, and the bottling and labeling area, all within a very manual and artisanal process.

End the visit with a tasting of various liqueurs and the opportunity to purchase them in the adjoining shop.

The tour and tasting are free, but advance reservation is required to check availability.
