This rum and chocolate tasting was an absolute highlight of my trip. Gus went above and beyond to take care of us, so patient, incredibly knowledgeable, and you can feel how passionate he is about what he does. I don’t usually call anything perfect, but this experience was just that! It’s ideal for rum lovers, the rum-curious, and chocolate fanatics alike. Everything was thoughtfully curated, and getting to create our own cocktail at the end was such a fun and unexpected touch. Gus’s passion really shines through and makes the entire experience unforgettable. I can’t wait to come back to check out the bar upstairs and buy some chocolate and cute merch! Highly recommend!

The host himself was...

Antonio_R, Mar 2026

The host himself was fantastic as with the rums and chocolates. However, for the price, I had hoped for a little more from information regarding the various rums, why the particular chocolates were paired with them, how to sample the piece of chocolate with the wine, etc. Not sure this was a US $60+ experience. I’d say $30 at best.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Antonio_R, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We are delighted to hear that you found our host fantastic and enjoyed the selection of rums and chocolates. We sincerely appreciate your honest comments regarding the depth of information provided and the perceived value of the experience. Our goal is to offer a rich immersion into Cartagena’s culture through these pairings, and it seems we missed the mark on fully explaining the "why" behind each combination during your visit. Your point about the pairing rationale and tasting techniques is well taken, and we will use this to refine our presentation to ensure every guest feels the full value of the experience. We hope you will give us another chance in the future to demonstrate the improvements we are making. Warm regards, The Lunatico Team

Love the Chocolate

AI_b, Jun 2025

Tiylam was a great host. Made me feel very comfortable. I learned a lot. I would recommend to others

Rum Rum Tumble !

Delvin_G, Apr 2025

It was fun. Something quick and easy and a chance to taste great rum. Although, I would recommend not purchasing liquor from them directly. They are liquor store nearby. See if you can find it there first. Cuz they do overcharge for their bottles. (That’s told you want to buy a bottle)

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you so much for joining our Rum and Chocolate Tasting – we're really happy to hear that you had fun and enjoyed tasting great rum with us! That’s exactly what we aim for: a quick, enjoyable, and memorable experience that introduces you to the best of Colombian rum and chocolate. Regarding the bottle prices, we totally understand your point. As a restaurant and experience venue, our pricing reflects that context, and not that of a retail store. We’re always happy to recommend nearby liquor shops for those looking to purchase bottles at retail price. Our main focus is the experience – and we’re glad you appreciated it! Thanks again for your visit and for sharing your feedback.

Unique Experience

Catherin_R, Dec 2024

If you’re a fan of rum in your cocktails or on the rocks, but don’t know about its variety or history then this is for you. While there are a variety of options for coffee tastings or cooking classes, I found this rum and chocolate tasting to be unique. Dylan is an absolute gem- patient, knowledgeable, and funny. His guidance in the experience made every rum sample a unique experience. You’ll learn about Colombia’s regional history all while getting a little tipsy. Definitely worth it.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted you found our Express Rum and Chocolate Tasting to be a unique and enjoyable experience. It’s fantastic to hear that Dylan made the session memorable with his patience, knowledge, and sense of humor — he truly is a gem. We’re so glad you appreciated learning about Colombia's regional history and the diverse flavours of its rum while having a bit of fun along the way. Your kind words inspire us to keep creating unforgettable experiences. Cheers, and we hope to host you again soon.
