Enjoyable and fun tour! - Welcome drinks and restaurant access kept us preoccupied before the tour. The tour itself was short and sweet but very informative. The journey to the estate is very long…but the rum tasting and the restaurant food was certainly worth it!

Great tour, great tour guide. - What is there not to like about this tour. Free rum cocktail(s) as you wait for your guide.
We were shown around by Peter, he had a great sense of humour and was very informative, he's happy to answer any questions and more than happy to share a joke. There was a really good rum tasting at the end. The tour was not too long and the facilities are very clean and neatly laid out.
Another shout out to Peter, you're in for a treat if he shows you around.

Good Vibes, Great Rum - A great experience! We enjoyed our time at the Appleton Estate and appreciate learning the history. The welcome drinks were a great way to start the experience! We had the Stormy Valley and it was so good that we had to get a refill before the tour started. Our tour guide David was great! It was my first time tasting actual ingredients that go into making rum! I’ve never tasted raw cane sugar or molasses before. So this was a pleasant surprise. We even got to walk into the facilities where the distilling takes place. Overall it was a great experience! At the end they offer the opportunity to bottle and label your own rum to take home. My boyfriend and I did it and said we would drink it until our wedding day! This was our first vacation together and it was such a cute way to celebrate that milestone.
