An amazing rum experience

We were picked up by a private minibus and taken to what we thought was just going to be a rum tasting experience. We were met by Felix our guide. He first introduced us to chocolate. Explaining how chocolate is made from start to finishing allowing us to taste a bean straight from the cocoa pod which I have to say looked more like something from a Bushtucker trial. The smells and tastes of the different chocolate was amazing. We then moved onto coffee. Again Felix explained the process in detail mentioning which coffee you should drink a different times of the day. We were then taken through the gift shop ready to taste the rum. We then went into a separate area where we were given a talk and watched a short video about how Olivers Rum is made whilst drinking a very nice refreshing rum drink. The process of sugar in the rum was then talked about, before we moved over to a lovely seating area where the tasting began. Once again Felix filled us with his knowledge about Rum. We tried 4 different rums. Felix explained about each one. We tried a rum first then spoke about the flavours within the rum. We were then given something to accompany the rum, who would of thought having a piece of cheese with mango puree grape with honey or chocolate and salt would enhance and bring out different flavours. It was an amazing experience well worth doing is you have a morning or afternoon free. Felix was an amazing guide and was passionate about his job. One thing I would say, make sure you eat something before you go to soak up the rather larger measures
Very good rum tasting

Felix was the best guide. It was informative and the cigar lounge was everything.
We had the domestic party in the place
Thoroughly enjoyed!

Me and my partner did the rum tasting experience (booked through TUI) and really enjoyed it, it’s not a distillery tour so go with these expectations, however still a great couple of hours! Tasting of 4 different rums & paired with different things (cheese, chocolate etc) to enhance the taste! Would definitely recommend
A must!

This was a really fun and informative tasting with Dominican Rum. Afterward, you get to shop for Dominican items and souvenirs. Transportation was easy and had cold AC.
Good deal for the price

Great deal! Plus shopping. International cuisine is a bit of an overreach. We tried chocolate, cheese, and jam. I wouldn’t really call that international cuisine though as advertised. We were the only people on our tour. I did have a great time and would recommend for the price.
