Shared Rum Experience and Cultural Tasting

Experience the authentic spirit of Costa Rica through a journey of tradition, craftsmanship, and local flavors at Hacienda El Viejo.

Your visit begins with freshly brewed Costa Rican coffee, seasonal fruits, and natural beverages in the heart of Guanacaste’s sugarcane fields, overlooking the Tempisque River.

Discover the region’s rich heritage during our Cultural Tasting Experience, where you’ll visit the traditional trapiche (sugar cane mill), learn about artisanal sugar cane production, enjoy handmade tortillas, fresh coffee, and local delicacies while connecting with the customs and traditions of rural Guanacaste.

Continue with the Sabandí Rum Experience, following the complete rum-making process—from sugarcane extraction and distillation to aging in our historic Rickhouse. Finish with a guided tasting that highlights the smooth character and unique flavors of our handcrafted Sabandí Rum.

Your experience concludes at La Casona Restaurant, where a traditional Costa Rican buffet featuring fresh local ingredients and homemade recipes completes this authentic cultural journey.
