We couldn’t have enjoyed our time with Erv more - what a gifted story teller - clear admiration for Romero and so knowledgeable about the Romero distilling process. We enjoyed creating our custom blend:)) After our tour we stopped in for a quick charcuterie and a Dark & Stormy - yum!! Congrats to the Ramero team on all your awards - very impressive! THANK YOU ERV!!",

"text": "We were greeted by our Host and Hostess Tomas and Nerissa and made to feel very welcome.\nWe started with a choice of high ball. ( the Emperor is very tasty) my husband and a fiery ginger ale.\nWe then got to sample the four different stages of the rum making followed by a history of rum running in Alberta which we found very interesting.\nThe Distillery process was explained to us before going into the distillery itself and had detailed tour with Tomas. It was an extremely enjoyable experience and Tomas was very knowledgeable.\nTo end the tour we got to sample the different blends to make our own bottle of rum including corking and adding our initials to the bottle.\nWe felt like VIP's, tasted some great rum, had a fascinating history and met two very nice people.\nWe highly recommend the tour. We will definitely visit again and next time have a snack in their lovely bar area.",

"text": "Had an amazing date night at Romero. Tried several of the seasonal cocktails and a number of the tapas and all were delicious. The “Dark and Stormy,” the “Saturn,” and the “Celebration” (drink on fire) are all must tries. But the single best thing of the night was the staff - Ainsley and Teagan - made the night. They took a time to chat with us and we learned so much about the rum varieties. Will be back for another date night and the rum tour.",
