Tequila education - You’ll experience authentic tequila and mezcal that’s not the popular, heavily marketed brands you drink in the states. Shana, the instructor, was excellent…very knowledgeable and very passionate

Enjoy tequila and other agave products and avoid ones with additives. - This experience was exactly described and more. It was basically a sip session/discussion about tequila, mezcal and other agave products. The discussion involved most aspects of making these liquors as well as what to expect in the part of the world you are from. The presenter was extremely knowledgeable and selected five different products for tasting (note that you can also choose your own if desired). Not everybody enjoyed all products but that was the point. We sipped each product and talked about what we liked and perhaps what was not that great on the palate. If you have any desire to sip alcohol with a perspective of carefully assessing the flavour and palate, then this is must-do activity when visiting Tamarindo. Key message: avoid products with additives. If you want to know how to do that, join up to this event.

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.
