Atelier Vie was also included in a recent issue of local entertainment magazine Where Y’at in an article paying heed to the the locavore trend in spirits.

“Over the last few years, we’ve seen new local distillers and distilleries creating liquors and liqueurs from products grown right in their backyards, sourcing their lands for the best and most interesting herbs, flowers, fruits, grains and cane available. So it is of no surprise that we have seen local liquor products hitting the shelves fueled by demand.” Read the full article online.
