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.

Great Experience! - We would never have considered doing this cocktail workshop, but we received tickets as a gift. Our Chobolobo afternoon ended up being a highlight of our time in Curacao! Our tour guide, Ingo, was great. He gave our group a fun and informative tour of the distillery, including the history of the original Curacao liqueur. Ingo then took us to our cocktail workshop with Luis. Luis was fun and very patient with us novice bartenders. We were each able to choose two cocktails from a long list of delicious options. We couldn't have asked for a better experience!

Fun experience - I did this tour solo and still had so much fun. It was very interesting learning the history and process. There was a lot of choices for the different cocktails we could make and our bartender was a great instructor.

So much fun! - Our first stop in Curacao was this tour. Felt it would be a good way to settle in! We added the cocktail workshop and are so glad that we did. The distillery tour was very informative and the mixology class was so much fun!

Cocktail Experience made the tour worthwhile - I was looking forward to a history of the Curaçao Liquor Distillery at Landhuis Chobolobo since I have worked with distilleries in the past and wanted to know more about this liqueur. The "history" part of the tour was minimal and rushed, and while there are exhibits and historical plaques, our Cocktail Experience tour was combined with the standard tour, which may be why the history part was limited. However, once we completed that piece, four of us with the Cocktail Experience tour went to a separate area to make our own cocktails, choosing two each from a menu. I tried a cocktail with the Tamarind flavor as well as another with Rum Raisin flavor. After a quick demo of basic bar skills, we each made and sampled our cocktails (okay, drank them all) while relaxing in the shade. All in all, a little disappointed but who can complain about drinking cocktails instead of small samples?
