Tour the 19th-century Landhuis Chobolobo — the original colonial estate and only authentic producer of genuine Curaçao liqueur — and taste the spirit's secret: the sun-dried peel of the island's bitter laraha orange, found nowhere else on earth.
What to expect
Step through the grand gates of Landhuis Chobolobo, a classic Dutch-Caribbean estate house built in the 1800s, and enter the fragrant copper-still rooms where the Senior family has crafted the world's only authentic Curaçao liqueur for over a century. A knowledgeable guide walks you through the laraha orange harvest, the distillation process, and the family's history on the island before inviting you to sample five signature expressions — from the iconic Blue to aged brandy-barrel editions. The estate's courtyard, vintage equipment, and painted tiles make every corner a photograph. A bottle shop and custom-label gifting service round off the experience.
Good to know
Located in the residential Salinja district, ~8 minutes by taxi from the pier (approx. USD 8–10 each way). Open Mon–Sat; guided tours run on the hour. A quick, high-value half-day experience — pair it with a Fort Amsterdam walk for a perfect morning ashore.
