Dominicania is an experience the Dominican Republic truly needed. This immersive reality project beautifully celebrates our Dominican identity while reconnecting us with our Taíno roots—a noble, hardworking people with deep knowledge of agriculture, astronomy, and the influence of the moon on crops.
Learning about cassava, casabe, and the areítos was deeply moving, but the most captivating moment was the 8-course tasting menu, created by a chef from the Amazon. Through native ingredients, it took us on a sensory journey to the very origins of the Taíno people.
The experience continues by honoring iconic Dominican products: rum, with a guided tasting that explains the process from sugarcane to barrel aging; tobacco, with an impressive walk through the largely hand-crafted cigar-making process and an exceptional cigar lounge; larimar, where we polished our own raw stone and revealed its ocean-like beauty; and Dominican craftsmanship, creating our own palm-cana hats.
The perfect ending: the colmado experience—an ice-cold Presidente beer, contagious music, and a game of dominoes that truly captures the Dominican spirit.
I left Dominicania with a full heart and an overwhelming sense of pride in being Dominican.

I visited Dominicania as a regular tourist, and when I explored the cigar experience by Cigar Country, I was impressed not only by seeing cigar packers and producers working on-site, but also by the incredible inventory of premium cigar brands, both local and international. Main brands like: Arturo Fuentes, La Flor Dominicana, VF, Oliva, La Galera, Aurora, the list can go on! To my pleasant surprise, it’s a DUTY-FREE ZONE, so the cigar prices are exceptionally good, even for locals. But my favorite part was that there's a rum experience by Casa Oliver on-site, and I was able to purchase really fine unique rum (also DUTY-FREE! -40% from street price) and enjoy my cigars paired with the finest rum at the Cigar Lounge ft. in Cigar Country. Definitely recommend!!

This immersive cultural experience was amazing. It took us from the origins of the island to the current day, showing us so many things that make the DR unique. We got to enjoy a little of everything: baseball, golf, hat making, chocolate, yucca bread, coffee, rum, cigars, larimar (gorgeous) Carnevale, dancing, and a traditional mom and pop grocery store (complete with dominoes)…along with a few things I’m sure I forgot! This was our favorite experience on the island. Don’t miss it!
