What you can expect

Immerse yourself in the local culture of St. Lucia on this guided tour to the open-air Castries Central Market and the renowned St. Lucia Distillers. Breathe in the smells of fresh Caribbean produce and spices, and then travel into the lush Roseau Valley for a tasting of the island's famous rums.

Following a convenient pickup from your hotel, you will be taken to the 125-year-old Castries Central Market, a site named one of the Best Food Markets in the World by National Geographic. As your guide leads you through the bustling space, learn about the important ingredients used in St. Lucia's Caribbean-creole cuisine, such as breadfruit, bananas, hot sauce, cinnamon, and star aniseed.

From here, you take a scenic drive to Morne Fortuné, a historic summit offering sweeping views of rolling mountains and pristine Grande Cul DeSac Bay. Continue on into the oasis of Roseau Valley, home to verdant banana plantations and the island's award-winning St. Lucia Distillers. Upon arrival, you're introduced to the “Rum Ambassador” and then led inside the facility to get a closer look at their distilling process.

After the tour, it's time to sample the renowned products for yourself. Sip numerous styles of rum, from clean and crisp Crystal White Rum to vanilla- and cinnamon-flavored Kweyol Spiced Rum. The operation also serves up creamy rum liqueurs and sweet fortified wine.

Finally, visit the iconic Marigot Bay and take in amazing views of the surrounding landscape.
