Puerto Rico is the self-proclaimed Rum Capital of the World, so what better place to come and enjoy the best rums from Puerto Rico and the Caribbean?
It is that time again — another Taste of Rum event ! Taste of Rum is the official Rum Festival of Puerto Rico, dedicated to promoting high-end rums to the world.
As in years past, there will be rum to sample, rum-related seminars and competitions, as well as live music to get your rum-infused body moving. This festival is all about Puerto Rican rum. Locals and visitors alike can take this opportunity to try all the different brands and types of Puerto Rican rum. There will even be some restaurants that will have their food available for a small price.
The event takes place at the PR Convention Center. You will have hours to enjoy unlimited rum tastings from the many Puerto Rican and Caribbean rum brands. There will also be a number of local restaurants participating, making all sorts of foods for your enjoyment (at an additional price).
