After hotel pickup, head by luxury van to the Mount Gay Rum Distilleries, located near the Port of Bridgetown on Barbados’ southwest coast.
Established in 1703, Mount Gay Rum is the oldest existing rum brand in the world and is an important part of Barbados’ culture and history.

Watch a video about the craftsmanship of the rum, see examples of the raw ingredients — native to Barbados — that go into each batch, and enjoy a tasting session to compare the flavors and aromas of the different rum varieties. Finish up at the Mount Gay Bar and Lounge, where a master mixologist will whip up a rum cocktail to suit your own taste buds.
After your tour, you have free time to spend at the distillery and visitor center. Check out the gift shop to purchase Mount Gay products and souvenirs, or continue to enjoy rum cocktails at the bar and lounge (additional drinks at your own expense).
