The experience

The tour moves between four working production sites where you taste and learn from people who make the spirits. At Chobolobo Mansion, the island's original Blue Curaçao distillery, a local guide walks you through how the liqueur is made and lets you sample the range of flavors. At Anna Bay Rum Distillery, you smell the oak aging the rum and taste it straight from the source, hearing the tradition behind each pour. The Old Swinging Lady Brewery gives you a tasting flight of craft beers with the stories of how they're brewed. Between stops, you walk a short coastal stretch to Fort Beekenburg for ocean views, and you pass through a local food market where you can buy street food and fresh local bites on your own.

The day ends at Netto Bar, a legendary spot on the island and the birthplace of Green Rum (Ròm Bèrdè), where your complimentary tasting is included. Bottled water comes with the tour. Your guide is live and speaks the language you choose at checkout (English, Spanish, Portuguese or Dutch), so the stories behind each distillery and brewery are told in your words. The whole experience runs 4.5 hours and is private, meaning the pace and the stops are yours to shape with your guide.
