Where does the tasting take place?
Inside Lunático Cooking Studio in Getsemaní, Cartagena, a short walk from the Historic Walled City, with a terrace overlooking San Felipe Castle.
Is the tasting available in English?
Yes. The experience is led by a certified bilingual Rummelier and offered in both English and Spanish.
Do I need to book in advance?
Yes. This is a small-group experience with limited seats, so advance booking is recommended, especially for the Premium Boutique Experience.
Is this suitable for non-rum drinkers?
The experience is centered on rum and aguardiente tastings, so it's best suited to travelers open to trying Colombian spirits. Non-alcoholic chocolate pairings are still part of the sensory experience either way.
Sunset catamaran cruise
Combine your tasting with a sunset sail aboard the Flamante Catamaran.
Professional photoshoot
Capture your Cartagena trip with a private photographer before or after your tasting.
Private group booking

This is a great way to spend an evening before heading out into Getsemaní's nightlife; the terrace view of San Felipe Castle at sunset is worth timing your booking around. If you're short on time, the 1-hour tasting still gives you a real feel for Colombian rum, but if you can spare the extra hour, the cocktail workshop in the Premium Experience is the most fun part.
