Vert interesting tour, the guide who also works in the distillery was awesome, he explained how the whole tradition of making rum in Guadeloupe is still alive and very important for the locals. We had a little tasting of a pure rum straight from the pipe and let me tell you it was delicious. Montebello Rum is the best traditionally made rum on the island, so if you are looking for a bottle or two you can buy it at the small shop they have next to the distillery or even fill up your own bottle with pure rum for a literally few quid.

Located just outside the capitol city of Basse-Terre, this is third-largest distillery on Guadeloupe, but most impressive visually.The entrance from the highway is on a long road, winding through the sugar cane fields, slowly approaching the plantation. The factory is large, the tasting room well-designed, the boutique bright and elegant. You can tell this place had the foresight to design for the tourism opportunities it could seize. I have previously only done self-guided tours of distilleries, reading information on signs that are sometimes worn away, sometimes missing altogether - Bologne presented an excellent opportunity to join a well-organized and informative guided tour, so the ticket price seemed worth paying. As I followed the tour, heading in and out of the processing shed, and the bottling shed, and the aging shed, I was impressed with the wealth of wonderful information presented, on the history of the distillery, the production of rhum agricole and the industry on Guadeloupe in general. Everyone was given a much-needed bottle of water at the start of the tour, and many samples of delicious rum at the end of it. Needless to say, I left Distillerie Bologne with several purchases in hand, and am glad that I bit the bullet and paid for the tour - it was ABSOLUTELY worth the money.

Brewery on the banks of the River Lézarde, Vernou, Petit-Bourg, Guadeloupe. You will discover the artisanal manufacturing site of the famous beer Lézarde, only craft beer of the island. Here you will find beers, ofcourse, but also snacks, soft drinks ... to enjoy on the terrace in the heart of the rainforest. Free WIFI.

5. Distillerie Longueteau
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 377 reviews
La distillerie Longueteau est aujourd'hui la plus ancienne de la Guadeloupe encore en activité. près avoir racheté le domaine des mains du marquis de Sainte-Marie en 1890, Henri LONGUETEAU transforme dès 1895 une ancienne sucrerie pour faire du rhum directement à partir de pur jus de canne. Depuis plusieurs générations se sont succédées, chacune apportant son savoir-faire et son haut niveau d'exigence dans l'élaboration de produits de qualité dans le plus grand respect des traditions Guadeloupéennes.

We stoped by after visiting Plantation Grand Cafe. The tour was held in French however there is one of the tour guides who is fluent in english (we had a bit of luck that one of the guests was bilingual and could translate for us :)). Nontheless it was interesting and tasting was fine too. Would recommend (we bought three bottles by the way)
