Nestled in the heart of the lush Guanacaste grass plains, Hacienda El Viejo stands as a testament to the rich heritage of Costa Rica, surrounded by vibrant sugarcane fields and the majestic Rio Tempisque, the lifeline of the Blue Zone of Costa Rica. This historic estate, boasting a house with over 150 years of history and once the residence of presidents from both Costa Rica and Nicaragua, welcomes you to embark on a unique journey that fuses the artistry of craft beer and the magic of premium rum, all in one unforgettable experience.

Our adventure begins with the first-ever Costa Rican Rum Experience by Sabandi, where you'll connect with the earth and explore your roots. Immerse yourself in the entire process of creating exceptional rum from the purest sugarcane.

But the adventure doesn't end there. Continue your journey with our Brewery Experience, where you'll learn about the fascinating process of crafting excellent quality beer. Accompanied by our knowledgeable brewer guide, you'll gain insights into the key ingredients and meticulous processes that go into making our artisanal beers, all produced with the finest ingredients.

Our beers stand out not only for their quality but also for the unique element of pure spring water sourced from one of the world's five Blue Zone areas, including the Nicoya Peninsula in Costa Rica.
