The Aruhiba Cigar factory exposes you to a family owned tobacco plantation. Join Mr. Petrochi and members of his family as they explain the extensive process used to produce their high-quality hand made cigars.

A tour of Aruba would not be complete without a stop at the Balashi Beer Brewery. Winner of two gold medals from the "Monde Selection" in Brussels - Balashi beer is considered to be Aruba's pride and joy. On this private tour, you will learn about Aruba's beer history and get a birds eye view of the brewing process from the gangway above the production area followed by a tasting of this legendary pilsner.

Your last stop at the Pinturitic Kunukoe House and bar allows you a taste of a local delight, Aruban rum. Blended from a secret old Aruban recipe, you will not want to leave without a bottle!
