• During our guided tour, we will learn about the various stages of rum distillation, from sugar cane grinding to molasses and to rum, as well as the ageing, blending and bottling stages. We will also see old steam motors, some of which date back to 1886 and are still in use.
• The tour ends with a tasting session of various types of internationally renowned rums.
• We then get back on the coach and head towards Morne Rouge, a secluded beach with white sand and crystal-clear waters where almond trees provide natural protection from the sun.
