    Nicholas is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to utilizing the local fruits and cocktail making. The fruit tasting was a great way to experience something that we do not get where we live and the added bonus of learning some tricks and good guidelines of utilizing the fruits to make a cocktail. The hands on experience was amazing and I will carry this knowledge forever. I highly recommend this experience while in Medellín!

    A lively mix of learning and tasting. The session was interactive, the drinks were balanced, and the whole experience felt both professional and genuinely fun.

    Cocktails with a Twist

    Kevon_H, Sep 2025
    One of my favorite things to do when traveling is going to a market to see what other fruits and vegetables are available in countries that I cannot get in the US. What better way to try local fruits with a mixology class?!? Everything was well prepared for us and we tried all of the fruits before making our own cocktail to share with the group. I would definitely take this mixology class again when I come back to Medellín!

    Nicolas is a blast and the experience is amazing! Would totally recommend. I was alone but it was so worthwhile.

    Perfect Fusion of drinks and fruits

    Anonymous, Aug 2025
    I had an awesome time at the mixology and fruit tasting class! I crafted some of the best drinks ever and even got a taste of all the fruits of Columbia. The real highlight was when the instructor whipped up the perfect drinks for both me and a friend based on our favorite flavors. If you’re into personalized cocktails and learning cool mixology tricks, this is the class for you!

    Fruit, Fun, and Interesting! Que chimba!

    This was such a fun and interesting experience. It was just us- great location and amazing mix of bartending tricks and fruit experience. If you are debating this tour- do it! Amazing view and location also!

    EDMUNDO_S, Jun 2025
    We booked a Spanish session but ended up being an English session because of the rest of the attendees. The terrace where is being held is super pretty, recommending the sunset session. Nicolas is kind and has a lot of bartending skills and the experience is about 3h (2h of introduction of him and fruits and 1h of preparing your own drink - which is lots of fun). The whole session could improve if the group gets to know each other with integration dynamics rather than a extense introduction of Nicolas and the fruits.

    What an amazing...

    Amanda_K, May 2025
    What an amazing experience! I learned so much about so many different fruits and cocktails, and actually got to make my own creation! Highly recommend!!

    Excellent class with lots of ideas to take home

    Vanessa_P, Mar 2025
    This was such a thoughtfully planned 2 hour experience! Nicolas let us all sample the fruit first so that we could be familiar with the flavor, texture and acidity of each fruit. Next he taught us some essential principles to keep in mind when making a cocktail at home and even shared his own recipes for make syrups from some of the same fruits we sampled!

    I had a great time...

    I had a great time learning about fruits and cocktails with Nicolas. It was a great activity to introduce yourself to Colombia, from a very knowledge and fun local (it's Mede-Gin, like “gin”, truest words from an experienced cocktail mixologist indeed!) I booked solo but Nicolas messaged to group me with others so if you're a little bit flexible you could meet other travellers too. I've since roamed around Colombia confidently eating some of those fruits I learnt at the class (for context, I'm a Brit). If in doubt, book it!

    Fantastic drink and fruit experience in Medellín

    Sondre_B, Oct 2024
    We had an amazing fruit and drink experience with Nicolas. He introduced us to a variety of fresh and local fruits that we’d never tasted before and how to use them to mix exciting drinks. He is knowledgeable and passionate about what he is doing and it shows! The rooftop was a plus and we would highly recommend!

    A delightful experience not to be missed!

    Andrea_K, Jun 2024
    I booked this experience on a whim not really sure what to expect, but I was pleasantly surprised by how enjoyable it was. The host was very engaging and fun in his interactions. The group size was perfect (5 persons) and as a solo traveler it was perfect for me to receive individual attention yet still make friends with others. We were introduced to a variety of fresh local fruits and it was so much fun creating our own concoctions! Check out my IG highlights @thetriniepicure to see more

    Great experience

    Let’s just start off by saying the Host was GREAT we loved his energy through out the whole thing ! We got to try different fruits and the cocktails were so good !

    Tasted local fruits, got lesson in mixing cocktails, created our own cocktail; many, many cocktail tastings

    Abhay_M, May 2024
    Tasted many local fruits which we would never have sampled otherwise. Got a good, quick lesson on how to create a cocktail from our favorite fruits and favorite liquor. Created our own cocktail. Mixed it and sampled our creations. Nicholas guided us through this all. He was a very creative, knowledgeable and funny bartender. Would highly recommend this tour for anyone that enjoys drinks, rooftops, and is curious and creative about cocktails.

    Great Medellín rooftop experience

    Sam, May 2024
    This was a wonderful experience. Nicolás was fun, easygoing, patient, and very knowledgeable. We learned so much about making cocktails and enjoyed some amazing fruit and drinks with beautiful views. Would do it again in a heartbeat - highly recommend!! -Sam and Kendall

    If you do not book this experience while in Medellin, you are missing out!

    Iysha_J, May 2024
    Nicolás was great. He is so knowledgeable and such a great time. Me and my mother booked this class together. It just so happens that the timeslot on the day we picked allowed us to be the only people there. So we got an amazing private experience. This was our last activity in Medellin before we headed back home the next day. It was such a great way to end the trip. Some fruits were familiar, others I had never seen or heard of before. Everything was delicious and I loved making my own custom cocktail. The drinks Nicolas made for us were perfect.

    Salute!!

    Traveling solo but this was an amazing experience. He very knowledgeable about his craft. It was a lot of fun! I even got to take some amazing fruit with me.

    The best part of the experience was tasting local fruits and juices and making cocktails on our own. A great meeting conducted in a very relaxed atmosphere.

    So much fun!

    Marianne_C, Mar 2024
    What a fun way to end our visit to Medellin! Our bartender was fun and very knowledgeable. We learned a lot about various fruits I have never seen in the US and we got to create our own cocktails with them! The rooftop view was an extra bonus!

    Great time!

    Jenna_M, Mar 2024
    I would highly recommend this activity! We got to try some delicious fruits I had never seen before in my life! The bar tender was very passionate about cocktail making and we learned a lot! If your looking for a fun afternoon in Medellin I would highly recommend this class!

    A must in Medellin!

    Hannielle_P, Feb 2024
    Omg! Where do I start? Nicolas was an absolute delight and made the class so fun! He was energetic and passionate throughout the class. We got to taste so many fruits and make our own cocktails for the whole class to taste. I would definitely do it again as it so worth the time, energy and money. When in Medellin, come to this tour

    Fun and informative, exotic fruit and delicious drinks!

    Jordan_D, Jan 2024
    My friends and I were originally looking for a cooking class but after coming across this class, we knew we had to try it! Our instructor, who was very knowledgeable I might add, provided an incredibly welcoming, fun and informative experience at the Rango Hostel rooftop bar. We got to learn about and try a variety of fruits that are common around Medellin, as well as how they can be used in cocktails. Even as a group of 7, we each got to make a cocktail to share amongst everyone. If you like tasting cocktails and learning something new, I would highly recommend!

    Fruit, cocktails, and fun.

    Garrett_W, Jan 2024
    Nicholas was friendly, funny, and knowledgeable. We had a great time learning about local fruits, spirits, and getting to know our fellow tasters. It's a laid back atmosphere and a good spot to take pictures at sunset. A great addition to our honeymoon.

    Interesting and tasty experience

    Elizabeth_S, Jan 2024
    Nicolas does a great job of teaching the flavors of Colombian fruits and how to mix them with different spirits. We got to try fruits we had never tasted , syrups that were new to us in a nice rooftop setting with good views. At the end he even let us take away samples of the fruits. You can tell he is passionate about what he does and that adds to the fun. And it was great to “invent “ our own cocktails—we enjoyed the participatory parts as well.

    Five Star Experience !! ⭐️⭐️

    Rana_N, Dec 2023
    This experience far exceeded expectations! Nicolas was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He knew history behind every fruit and spirit that was used and how it tied to the the history of Colombia, Medellin and even had knowledge of my home country!
