A Must for Liquor Enthusiasts - This was an excellent evening activity in Tamarindo! Our bartender hostess was extremely knowledgeable not only on the spirits themselves, but also on the brewing process and history. We followed a track of four spirits she had both of us try, then picked out a unique fifth for each of us to try according to our tastes.

Must Do Experience! Worth it! - This is a must do excursion. Our bartender was extremely knowledgeable about the agave spirits available and engaged with us on what we were tasting. It opened us to what is possible with agave spirits. Would recommend having eaten something prior to the tour because you are tasting a variety of alcohol (4-5 different items).

Fun and informative! - Really fun and educational experience. I never thought I would learn so much about tequila and mezcal, including all the steps to making it, different subtypes, regions, etc. Eduardo was so knowledgeable and sweet. I really enjoyed this experience and would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes tequila.

Not a tequila drinker but enjoyed! - Liz and her crew of Shaina (Canada) and David (Italy) were very passionate about mezcal, tequila and the Costa Rican 🇨🇷 culture. Nested above the local favorite Nogui’s, it’s a hidden chill and friendly bar on the second floor with amazing view of beach and sunset with great knowledgeable cocktail options. The tasting experience was led by David with us and not Liz, who’s the expert of the group. David was very passionate and knowledgeable on agave, tequila, mezcal and the processes. His English was impressive given that it is his 3rd language to his Italian and Spanish. We tried and were blown away by how many varieties exist and got some good tips on mixing/drinking mezcal/tequila. Despite not being a big tequila/mezcal guy, I appreciated the experience and recommend you try it’s
