Rum Tasting Excellence - This was an excellent trip and informative. Our rum guide was Wendell and he's very friendly and playful with folks. The rum is very tasty and this was an ideal location to shop and get gifts for family members and friends. One stop shop really. Try the mamajuana! Would highly recommend if you want to get away from your resort for a few hours, but not sacrifice a whole day.

Great tasting! - Our experience at the rum tasting was absolutely fantastic! We had the opportunity to learn fascinating background information about Oliver Rum and had the pleasure of indulging in a variety of delicious rums. After the tasting, we were able to browse and shop for souvenirs, which was a great way to end the experience.

Great tasting and educational - Pick up was on time and the ride to the area was smooth. Don't be alarmed when you pull up to what looks like a large tourist shop. Inside you will find souvenirs but it was a collaboration with the tasting . They also have a cigar room that many ppl enjoyed while waiting for tasting to begin. The tasting is very detailed and educational. The comfortable seating and air conditioned area make it even. You can purchase any of the rums you taste as well as a wide variety of others. They also have informal tastings of those and mamajuana. Highly recommend making this tour a stop on your visit to punta cana. Take pictures once inside the walls have the history of dominican rum
