Learn More About Chinola

After discovering the magic of the sacred Dominican passion fruit, Chinola® ‘s journey began in 2014 with the creation of the world’s first vine to bottle fresh fruit liqueur that’s shelf-stable. Chinola was born from a creative collaboration of hospitality experts, spirit industry professionals, and a multi-generational master blender. Locally referred to as chinola (chee-noh-lah), our dream was to create an old-world style liqueur that embodied the taste and aroma of fresh passion fruit. Chinola Passion Fruit Liqueur has gone on to become an award-winning addition to the world’s best bars and a staple in home bars.

With origins in the Samaná Peninsula, Chinola Fresh Fruit Liqueurs are produced in the Dominican Republic with a commitment to authenticity and eco-friendly practices from farm to bottle. Chinola has been instrumental in supporting the infrastructural growth of the Samaná community on the northeastern coast of the Dominican Republic. From building a road that makes the area more accessible, to creating small bridges, electric poles, and water wells that help boost tourism and the local economy.
