Top distillery experience ever!! - I am a service industry professional in New Orleans and I was blown away by the entire experience. I have visited many distilleries and this is by fart the best experience I have ever had. The staff was knowledgable, friendly, and fun. The amazing things they are doing with blending rum at the distillery is amazing and as a huge spirits nerd I loved every minute. Its by far the most gorgeous setting for any distillery I have ever been to and to finish the whole experience on the beach, is something I will never forget. From when we started the tour to when we finished was one of the best hospitality experiences of my life!!! Thank you to the entire Planteray team!!! Damian, Ramon, and Syrai you were all amazing!!!

Beachfront Bliss: Fun, Flavor, and Laughter at Stades Rum Tasting! - If you're in Barbados and looking for an unforgettable experience, the Stades Rum Tasting is a must! It’s the only rum distillery on the island with a beachfront, and let me tell you, the beach is absolutely stunning. The entire setting creates a laid-back but vibrant atmosphere that makes the whole experience feel special. The person leading the rum tasting was the perfect blend of fun, knowledgeable, and professional. They made the tasting an entertaining and educational experience, sharing fascinating insights about the history and making of rum, all while keeping the mood light and engaging. It was clear they knew their stuff, but their humor and warmth really took the experience to the next level. After the tasting, we enjoyed a delicious lunch, which was the perfect complement to the rich flavors of the rum we had just sampled. It was the ideal way to wrap up an unforgettable afternoon by the beach. For anyone visiting Barbados, Stades Rum Tasting is not just about sipping great rum—it’s about enjoying the whole experience in a beautiful setting with a team that knows how to make it memorable. Highly recommend!

Rum tasting on the beach! - The tour starts with some great Rum Punch and a video. We proceeded to the tour and tastings. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and broke down how to prepare for each tasting. After that we lounged on the beach and had more drinks. We also ordered the jerk chicken and fishballs. Everything was delicious. Everyone was super nice especially our girl Joy!

Very good food and tasting on the beach - After our still tour, we had a rum tasting and food. The tour was really good, but then the tasting and the food on the beach...really nice! In addition, relax in the sun loungers on the beach...a dream! For me, after 4 months of work, on board a research vessel, it was a wonderful start to my holiday!
