The experience

What does Caribbean rum actually taste like when you taste it where it's made? The Marigot Bay Distillery is where you find out. You walk through the working facility, see how the rum gets made, and then sit down to taste several local rums, each one with its own character. A live guide walks you through what you're tasting and explains the island's rum-making tradition as you go. The whole experience runs 4 to 5 hours, and that timing includes the travel to and from your hotel.

Transportation is included, so you don't arrange your own way there. Bottled water comes with the tour. The guide speaks English or French, and children from age 7 can join. This is not a spirits-only experience, even though rum is the main event. Public transportation options are nearby if you want to explore Marigot Bay before or after.

What’s included

• Bottled water.
