5.00Nico catered a fantastic experience for us! I've been drinking mate for years but was unaware of its cultural context or history. I'd highly recommend the experience. We got to try various different types of mate, learn about the industry, try a gin made with mate. It was very entertaining and informative!
Great experience!!
