Description

As a port city, New Orleans enjoys a varied history with imports, especially of spirits. How does rum factor into the culture of our region? Learn this and more at the Friends of the Cabildo’s first-ever Rum Rendezvous. Guests will be guided through an exclusive six-course tasting featuring a variety of rums (many not available in Louisiana) personally procured by cocktail expert Wayne Curtis, author of And a Bottle of Rum: A History of the New World in Ten Cocktails. Wayne will share both history and tasting notes of these limited and rare spirits. Held on the 2nd floor of the historic Napoleon House, doors open at 5:30 p.m. with rum cocktails, bites, and the music of Charlie Halloran and the Tropicales, with the tasting following at 6:30 p.m. A limited number of tickets are available below. Proceeds benefit the FOC’s mission to support the educational, exhibits and collection efforts of the Louisiana State Museum properties in New Orleans.
