About this tour

What to expect
You'll be picked up by private van and driven to the Licor 43 factory. Once there, a guide takes you through curated spaces that reveal the liquor's history, key ingredients, and the handcrafted process used to make it. You'll move through sensory exhibits designed around aroma and visual design, then move into a tasting session where you sample the liquor alongside coffee to highlight specific notes.
The experience wraps with your guide covering details about how each element contributes to the final product. The van then returns you to your starting point. Total time is around 3 hours 15 minutes from pickup to drop-off.

Good to know
This suits spirits enthusiasts, people curious about Spanish heritage brands, and anyone wanting a factory experience that's more theatrical than utilitarian. It's a sitting-down, indoor activity with minimal physical exertion—good for most fitness levels, though it's not recommended for pregnant travellers or those with cardiovascular concerns (likely due to alcohol tasting). The experience is alcohol-focused, so abstainers should consider alternatives. Private transport means you avoid coordinating your own arrival, but timing depends on your location; confirm pickup details when booking. Group size isn't specified—assume small groups rather than coach tours. Tipping isn't included in the price but may be expected. Additional food or drinks beyond what's listed cost extra.
