These are the upcoming events that you can participate in. We try to find a nice mix between tastings with the focus on a specific brand or country. You can be sure that there are only a limited number of tickets available, so be quick to act.
Ticketprices include service charges, VAT and shipping costs within the Netherlands. If you do not live in the Netherlands but you still want to participate, contact us to see what we can do for you.
We have partnered up with Slijterij & Wijnhuis Zeewijck. This means that after the tastings you can buy the sampled rum from them with a nice discount! This promotion applies to the tastings where the Zeewijck logo is mentioned on the poster.
