Experience rum distilling the traditional Grenadian way and see how cocoa turns into delicious chocolate.
Get ready for a warm welcome and a cockle-warming taste of rum at the 300-year-old River Antoine Estate. Discover how the estate distils the rum manually, exactly as it was in 1785. See the old water wheel towering over the ancient boiler house – both are still part of the production process today. Enjoy a lively commentary from your guide as they take you through the journey from sugar cane to bottle. And brace yourself for a taste sensation as you sample Rivers Rum and Rum Punch.
At the picturesque Belmont Estate, cocoa-rich delights await you. Learn about ‘turning’, ‘polishing’ and grinding the cocoa, then sample the smooth, addictive taste of the estate’s signature chocolate.
High in the mountains, Grand Etang Lake is a visual feast. Take in the tranquillity of this natural habitat and capture the stunning views on a short photo stop.
