Absolutely loved the Stade’s rum distillery tour and beach club experience! - We absolutely loved the Stade’s rum distillery tour and beach club experience! Our guide was knowledgeable and hilarious. The tour was fascinating, which including tasting rum direct from the barrel, followed by a beach side tasting. It’s safe to say we walked away with several bottles including Planteray XO for my hubby and Stade’s coconut rum just for me… after the tour and tasting we lounged on the beach with a Pina Colada, a Rum Punch, and a burger and Caesar salad, all of it was great.

Do it! - This experience was amazing. So easy to get to from the cruise ship and then it was like having our own beach. It was clean, good food and very good rum!

A real gem - worth spending the day - Highly recommend! I used to visit many years ago when it was the Malibu factory and it has been restored beautifully. The rum tasting was great and it's well worth visiting also for access to the very quiet and wonderful beach. I think this is a bit of a gem compared to some of the busier spots and staff were lovely

A must do - This is not a tour but a tasting. The rums are excellent and the beach is beautiful but best of all our tasting guide was delightful. Her name was Sarai I probably spelled it wrong but she was great

Fantastic day out! - Fantastic experience. Arrived early, greeted at the door by Joy, who took us inside and explained where we could leave our things and left us in the shade under the veranda with a complimentary rum cocktail whilst we waited for the start of the tour. Our guide Asha, was informative adding humor throughout the tour of the distillery. She remembered our names and made sure we all felt involved in the experience. We then enjoyed cocktails and lunch in the shade before sitting on the beach. The staff could have not been more professional, friendly and attentive. It was a real taste of Barbadian hospitality. The site is very clean and the facilities are excellent. The staff called us a taxi to return to Bridgetown at the end of the day. Would definitely recommend this tour. Stay and enjoy the facilities until they close.

Stades offers Amazing Rum and a Fun Presentation by Asha. - My husband and I had the pleasure of doing a rum tasting at Stades with Asha, and it was an incredible experience! Not only were the rums exceptional, but Asha’s friendly and outgoing personality made our visit even more enjoyable. Beyond the tasting, we loved exploring the beautiful grounds, the serene waterfront, and the relaxing beach area. From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed with warm smiles and a delicious glass of rum punch. It was so good that we wished we could take it to go! Hopefully, by our next visit, they’ll have it bottled. The outstanding customer service from the entire staff truly set Stades apart. I highly recommend visiting Stades and requesting Asha for your tasting. You won’t be disappointed!
