We experimented with foraged ingredients—wild herbs from the countryside, edible flowers from local growers, botanicals we'd never seen in a cocktail before. We learned that alchemy takes time. That patience is an ingredient too.
What started as gift bottles for dinner parties became something more. A tasting room where people could slow down. Workshops where we taught the craft. A small collection of elixirs that felt less like products and more like invitations.
It began in a small Paris kitchen, bottling botanical elixirs for friends who wanted something beautiful to drink without the regret.
We don't believe in shortcuts. Every botanical is sourced from sustainable growers or foraged with respect. Every syrup is made by hand. Every bottle is filled, labeled, and sealed in small batches.
We're not trying to replace alcohol. We're offering something else entirely—drinks that make you feel present, not absent. Elixirs that honor the ritual of gathering without the regret of the morning after.
A tasting room in Paris where you can experience these elixirs the way they're meant to be enjoyed—in community, with intention, surrounded by the botanicals that inspired them.
Workshops where we teach our process, share our recipes, and explore the alchemy of flavor together.
A small but growing collection of stockists who share our values—quality over convenience, craft over mass production, soul over scale.
By the time Caroline was born, those bottles were just family lore. Mireille's recipes were lost. The tradition had faded.
But the story stayed with her.
Caroline spent a decade as a sommelier in Paris, learning to speak the language of terroir, acidity, tannins—the architecture of flavor. She loved wine. But she didn't love what it cost her body, her clarity, her mornings.
So she started experimenting. What if she could create drinks with the complexity of wine, the ritual of cocktails, but none of the regret? What if she could bring back her great-great-grandmother's tradition of bottled remedies—updated for a modern world that desperately needed them?
She left the wine world. Moved back to Bretagne to forage. Learned from herbalists, farmers, and her own relentless trial and error. She bottled elixirs for friends, then for farmers' markets, then for a small tasting room in Paris that became something of a cult destination.
Wild Remedy is what happened when that coastal tradition met Parisian craft. When history met alchemy. When women on rocks with bottles became women in workshops with intention.
Caroline still returns to Bretagne to forage. She still bottles by hand. And every elixir carries a little bit of Mireille's spirit—wild, restorative, meant to be shared.
When she's not foraging for the next elixir, you'll find her hosting workshops, tending the tasting room garden, or experimenting with flavors that shouldn't work but somehow do.
Wild Remedy didn't start in Paris. It started on the coast of Bretagne, in a story Caroline heard growing up.
Her great-great-grandmother, Mireille, was known in their small coastal village for bottling elixirs—herbal tonics made from seaweed, wild thyme, and whatever grew on the cliffsides. Women would gather on the rocks at low tide, bottles in hand, sharing remedies and stories. It was ritual. It was medicine. It was community.
These aren't just drinks. They're moments. Gatherings. Ceremonies. We bottle them so you can create your own rituals.
No artificial flavors. No preservatives. No rushing the process. If it's not extraordinary, it doesn't go in the bottle.
Every botanical is sourced sustainably or foraged with respect for the land. We take only what we need, and we honor what we're given.
