Best Rum Tour on the Island - What a great experience trying some great rum straight from the barrel Asher was a great host and made it very interesting. You get to taste rum straight from the barrel and then on to the beach front to taste even more.
I wanted to do a tour but wanted to go to a distillery that you couldn’t get most of the rum in UK this was definitely the one
Thank you team for a great day

Best way to spend a day - tasting rum & beach - My son & I enjoyed the rum & beach experience. The tasting was awesome & purchased some to take home to share with friends . We enjoyed our salad, burger and french fries. Great experience to swim in the beautiful water, have a wonderful lunch, and return back to the beach with a nice cold drink. Tayra, bartender was personable & very attentive on the customers. The beach chairs were comfortable but we spent more time in the water when we were not eating. We definitely would return on a future visit- and hopefully the T shirts will be available to purchase!

A memorable rum tour and great experience - I truly enjoyed the tour. from the minute I got there as the greeting was great from Asha (not sure if I have her name correct) but she very pleasant. The tour guide Ciar was funtastic and very knowledgeable about Stade's Rum giving the history and was able to answer any questions. Even though I'm not a rum drinker it was good to sample the different flavors of Stade's Rum, so there is a great story behind the making of the rum. The location is great as it on the beachfront, it is nice location to spend the day.
Thanks to all the staff for the experience.

A Must-Visit for Rum Lovers – Unforgettable Experience by the Sea! - ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
During our trip to the beautiful seafront, we had the pleasure of visiting the Stade Rum Distillery and Visitors Center, and it was easily one of the highlights of our trip!
From the moment we arrived, we were welcomed by friendly and knowledgeable staff who went out of their way to make our experience both enjoyable and educational. The passion they have for their craft is evident, and it truly makes the tour a unique and personal journey through the world of rum making.
The distillery itself is impressive, with a perfect blend of modern production techniques and traditional rum crafting methods. The guided tour took us behind the scenes, where we learned about the fascinating process from cane and coconut to glass. The best-tasting session! The rums were exceptional, showcasing a wide variety of flavors—from smooth, rich aged rums to spiced and aromatic blends. Each one was distinctive, and you could tell a lot of love goes into making them.
Being ideally located right on the seafront added another layer of magic to the visit. After the tour, we relaxed on the terrace, sipping rum with a stunning ocean view in front of us. It was the perfect way to soak in the atmosphere and enjoy the surroundings.
If you love rum or just appreciate learning about local spirits, the Stade's Rum Distillery is a must-see. Great people, unforgettable drinks, and a perfect location make this an experience you won’t want to miss. Highly recommended!
—A rum lover who will definitely be back!

Fun Rum Tour - This was a very fun tour! It was great being walked through a working distillery and aside from tasting the core range, I appreciated being able to try some rums straight from the cask. Sariah was a friendly and enthusiastic guide who encouraged lots of questions and photo taking which made the tour all the more engaging.

Great rum and great guide - This was the best tour and tasting experience we have had. Firstly the friendliness and helpfulness of the staff in accommodating our needs due to the change in weather. Our guide was super knowledgeable and passionate about the rums they produced and although we have been to our distilleries in the past we still learnt something new.
We would highly recommended this tour, especially having the opportunity to taste rum straight from the barrel and chilling on the beach afterwards
The best rum punch on the island!

1 part science, 1 part history and fill the rest with rum! - Asha gave an entertaining tour through this incredible facility while providing a comprehensive view on how this company has made rum over the years. I only wished we had more time to drink rum on the beach with the horses!
