Culinary and Cocktail Adventures in Curacao

Standard DreamTrip
Get a behind-the-scenes look at the production of Blue Curacao liqueur, shake up a signature cocktail and learn how to make local food favorites with 2 interactive activities that are part fun, part informative — and all delicious. (18+ only) Book by January 2.

About Your Trip

Raise a glass and toast to tasty times ahead with 2 fun and flavorful tours during this special adults-only DreamTrip. Start with a distillery tour to see how world-famous Blue Curacao is produced and learn how to mix your own signature cocktail, with an opportunity at the end to snap pics for Instagram glory. In another hands-on lesson, a pro chef will teach you how to prepare local ingredients to make delectable Caribbean cuisine — savor dishes both traditional and modern during lunch at the end of class!

What we love:

  • Your distillery tour and cocktail workshop kicks off with a guided walking tour, so you can experience historic Rif Fort, a floating bridge and Curacao’s lively Punda district from the ground up.
  • Curacao liqueur gets its distinct slightly sweet and slightly bitter taste from an important ingredient you won’t find anywhere else in the world — the unique Laraha orange, which grows exclusively on Curacao island!
  • Your fabulous resort features an infinity pool and an elevated “infinity beach” overlooking the Caribbean Sea, so no matter where you choose to take a refreshing dip during your stay, you’ll be rewarded with spectacular views.
