Where in the world

Cartagena

The aroma of coffee percolates through the streets and haciendas while the Caribbean coastline is the place to sample Colombian rum.  

No visit to this part of the world would be complete without a coffee or rum tasting experience. 

During a half-day excursion in the port of Cartagena, known as the jewel of the Caribbean, learn what creates the characteristic taste of Colombian coffee and feel the warmth of the country’s distinctive brand of rum made from the abundance of sugar canes. 

Join our expert guide for a tasting tour around the maze of cobbled streets, dotted with museums and emerald factories, taking sips of coffee along the way, and buying your favourite beans to take home.  

Discover what makes this brand superior among the world’s producers and how the climate sets it apart from the rest. Expect heavy notes of chocolate and nuts or lighter fruit and floral notes depending on which department it is grown in. 

During the experience you will also get the chance to see the ageing rum barrels and learn about the different production styles practised in Cartagena. Pair your drinks with delicious bites of fine aroma chocolate sourced locally. 

Additional notes about the tour

Please note guests must be over the age of 18 to sample the rum.
