There's not much to this place. You have a large room where they have tiny plastic cups set out with the different types of liqueur that they produce (curacao, chocolate, rum raisin, and coffee). They seem to let you take as much as you want (not that we abused the privilege). They have a short little film in English that... More

A brillant idea to make Curaçao liquor. Who has no heard about it. This miniature distillery does a great job. More

I had never tasted Curacao liqueur before visiting the island. It's really good. I brought some home with me that I bought locally. Hint: wait until you get to the duty free shop at the airport--it's a lot cheaper. But be careful if you travel through Miami airport and go through customs. After customs you exit the secure area. You... More

It's not as exciting as it seems. They put out four different flavors in small little cups, and you taste it and you're done. There is a small assembly line where they hand cork the curacao, but there is no explanation. The price of a large bottle here is $22 ($17 at the duty free airport) and $17 for a... More

Besides tasting and buying liqueur there is nothing else to see. They don't explore how the liqueur is made and the service is terrible. It's a good stop over if you are doing an island tour. Do not waste your time to go there just for the liqueur that can be found anywhere in Rif Fort shops just one dollar... More

Hard to find - unless you come here with a tourist group - and once you're there you wonder why you bothered. We were expecting a tour of the distilling plant (Jack Daniels in Tennessee is a great example), instead all you get is basically a gift shop with a few pieces of long unused equipment put out for the...

There were a lot of tourists here when we stopped in. It was cool to see the distillation process explained and have a free taste of the liqueur, but skip the overpriced gift shop. More
