Additionally, using the restored machinery, we will explain the production process of obtaining spirits from grape pomace and how the by-products were reused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The abandonment of the building without an alternative use allowed it to remain almost exactly as it was left.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">You will discover the tools, machines, people, and society that kept it running \u2014 and how reuse and recycling of materials is not a modern innovation. On a Catalan scale, visitors will understand the key role that distilleries played in the birth and development of the industrial revolution.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The tour also includes, at the end, a <strong>small-scale distillation<\/strong> and a <strong>tasting of various types of spirits and liqueurs<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Fassina Balany\u00e0<\/strong> is part of the <a href=\"https:\/\/mnactec.cat\/en\"><strong>Territorial System of the National Museum of Science and Technology of Catalonia<\/strong><\/a> (STmNACTEC).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Semi-guided tour of the Fassina Balany\u00e0 museum, live distillation, and tasting of liqueurs.
