Rum distilleries

Guadeloupe's rum distilleries open their doors to visitors curious about how sugarcane becomes the island's signature spirit. Across the archipelago, these sites combine working production areas with guided tours that explain cultivation, fermentation and distillation, often ending with a tasting of the rums made on site.

This section lists 10 published distilleries spread across several communes: Grand-Bourg and Marie-Galante, Sainte-Rose, Capesterre-Belle-Eau, Basse-Terre, Le Moule and Petit-Bourg. Each location has its own character, from estates rooted in long family traditions to smaller operations set among cane fields. Visitors can compare settings, learn about the local sugarcane varieties and see the equipment used at each stage of production.

Use these listings to plan a route between the islands and the main cane-growing areas, and to find the distilleries that match your interests, whether you want a detailed tour, a look at historic buildings or a simple tasting stop along the way.
