About This Tour
Sample real Colombian rum and locally made chocolate on a private tasting experience, learning how both are produced and what makes Colombia's cacao and sugarcane regions distinctive. A focused, private tasting experience rather than a full sightseeing tour, this walks you through a curated selection of Colombian rums and locally produced chocolate, with your guide explaining the real production history behind each.
Cartagena's connection to rum goes back centuries as a trading port in the sugarcane-spirits economy. One Colombian rum brand is named after Severo Arango y Ferro, an 18th-century figure who oversaw colonial trade and became a supplier of sugarcane spirits through Cartagena, which shows how long the city has been tied to the drink.
Cacao is an older story still: Colombian cacao has been grown for generations, and pairing it with rum highlights how bitterness, sweetness and aroma interact. A guided tasting walks through why different origins taste distinct.
A tasting stays small and unhurried, so it works well as a complement to a day of sightseeing rather than a replacement for one.
