San Juan, Puerto Rico, a city rich in colonial charm and vibrant Caribbean energy, offers more than just sun and sea—it’s a hub for immersive culinary and beverage experiences. Among its standout adventures is the MIXOLOGY CLASS at the renowned Casa BACARDÍ distillery. This expertly crafted class invites visitors to step behind the scenes and engage with the rich tradition of rum-making that has defined Puerto Rico’s spirit culture for over a century.

The hands-on approach makes every sip a lesson in flavor layering.
