The experience

The tour starts at your hotel or cruise terminal in Castries, where your guide meets you for the drive through town and its surroundings. You'll see local landmarks before heading inland to Roseau Valley, where the distillery sits. St. Lucia Distillers was formed in 1972 when the Dennery and Roseau distilleries merged: that history appears on every bottle label, with line drawings showing the story of the two original operations.

At the distillery, the guide walks you through how rum is actually made, from fermentation to aging, then you taste several rums and spirits produced on-site. The tasting is the core of the experience: you sample different expressions and learn what sets each one apart. After an hour or so at the distillery, you head to Marigot Bay, a small seaside village with views across the water. There's time to walk around, take photos and breathe in the air before the return to Castries.
