2.Rum Tasting Tour at Casa BACARDÍ in Puerto Rico

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,095 reviews · from $89

Spend 75 minutes at Casa BACARDÍ in Cataño tasting four premium rums with chocolate, learning about aging and production, and riding a short tram route around the site. Guides such as Alexandra, Itsy, Gabriella, and Will bring the history to life, but the production tour is mostly outdoors.

“Chill tasting experience. Get there 30 mins early to enjoy your welcome cocktail at the outdoor bar and take pics on the Bacardi sign. On the way to the tasting room you get a history lesson on Bacardi and its distilling process which the guide goes more in depth later on. You taste 4 different spirits while sitting and listening to guide. The spirits themselves were interesting, the last two were probably my favorite in terms of taste. Last time I was here I did the cocktail making class which was fun and more social. Depends on what vibe you want. Overall chill experience.”
