On this tour of Castries' markets, you will explore authentic stalls and tour the St. Lucia distillery, a notable spot for the island's rum, with a tasting included!
Activity Details
Beginning with a pickup from your hotel or the Castries cruise port, the journey will take you through Saint Lucia's most genuine shops and markets. Each stall reveals the vibrant tropical culture!
You will visit multiple markets, including Central, Arcade, Anchorage, and Derek Walcott. Here, you can explore the island's most typical gastronomic products, such as the unique banana ketchup, banana barbecue sauce, and pepper sauce, bringing a delightful spiciness reflective of this Caribbean location.
As you browse, you'll have the opportunity to choose from coconut sweets, an assortment of aromatic spices, and colorful Santaluce crafts, allowing you to capture the Creole essence that fills the streets of Castries.
Following the market exploration, a 20-minute drive through the Roseau Valley will lead us to St. Lucia Distillers, where the island's finest rum has been crafted since 1972. Prepare to discover its rich heritage!
In a 1-hour tour of the distillery, you will see the warehouses, witness the gleaming copper stills, and explore the aging room. Learn how cane honey is transformed into aguardiente and eventually into masterful blends after years of aging.
The experience will conclude with a rum tasting, featuring the traditional Bounty Rum, the essence of St. Lucia, along with creamy liqueurs. Indulge your palate in various nuances of vanilla, cocoa, and candied fruits. A true treat!
After this delightful experience, you will return to the hotel or cruise port, wrapping up the tour 3.5 hours after the initial pickup.
