Great time and great bartending teachers! - The tour of the facility is so cool, you can actually watch some of the bottling happening. Its amazing how much production comes from such a small facility! But having the personalized workshop is well worth it! We had an amazing bartender and got to meet some great other people!

A Must Do! - Part 1- The tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all questions. He was friendly and had passion in what he was doing. The welcome cocktail was refreshing and the sample flavors were great. Part 2- Kendrick did a great job showing us how to make a cocktail and then guided us to make our own. He was personable and kept it lively! I would definitely recommend this tour on your visit to Curacao!

Wonderful experience - The tour was informative, and our guide was fun and knowledgeable. We enjoyed the cocktail class, making new beverages that we can repeat at home with common ingredients ... except for that one of a kind Curacao! We brought a couple of bottles home with us.

Versatile Drink - Fun workshop with a very informative guide. I always love hearing about the history of places and this was no different. I actually learned that I most likely haven't been receiving original Curacao liquor at restaurants as the name is not trademarked. The drink making portion of the tour showcased how versatile Curacao liquor is and had a number of recipes to choose from. Afterwards, you can stay around and have more drinks and enjoy the music or walk around the complex. I would recommend to anyone going to the island.

Fun for all, learning for some! - As avid cocktail "experigneers" we found the tour and the grounds beautiful lead in to the cocktail making portion. We were a group of 4, and upon arrival we were given a welcome cocktail, and then we were given the opportunity to make 2 cocktails each! We had an enjoyable time. The cocktails were not as innovative as I would have hoped, and there were some garnishes and mixers missing, which was a little disappointing. We had to take pictures of the cocktails recipes to be able to take them with us, so it would have been nice to have been offered a handout of the recipe card. All that said, we highly recommend this for a good time, on beautiful grounds, with very friendly and accommodating staff. Great for an in-depth tour of the grounds and the history of the business, and cocktail novices will likely find this best to grow their skills, and moderate skilled mixologists to aficionados can enjoy the access to the multiple different Curacao branded items and sipping cocktails in a fun atmosphere.

Too expensive - Not worth the price. The tour could be done by reading the infographics only and the workshop is not worth it. Do the tour on your own...
