    The ruins and supporting information is interesting, but it's the beautiful scenery that surrounds it all that makes it even more worthwhile a visit. There are public toilets on site, free parking and a smoothie bar, alcohol bar and depending on the day, some local bbq grills and stalls to get food & fresh fruits from. Surrounded by rainforest and access to some paths that will take you around some of the area, it really is stunning.

    We loved the tour and tasting at Old Road Rum at Wingfield Estate. Just to state the obvious, this is not the current distillery. It is the historic ruins. We found it extremely interesting and fascinating to hear the process of this massive labor intensive task. Our tour guide was fantastic but I can't remember his name, sorry my friend! The rum itself was delicious! I love traveling and procuring good quality rums everywhere I go. Now to the small and cozy bar in the back... What great bar tender and what delicious cocktails. I HIGHLY recommend the rum sour. I should have taken a photo of the menu to see if I can re-create it back home. If you are a rum fan... I highly recommend this place. You can book the tour directly with them and just grab a taxi ride over there and schedule the taxi driver to pick you up an hour and change later. Thank you Old Road Rum for a great experience!! I can't wait to see it for sale in the US!

    I was part of a group of 12 folks today to tour the old Rum site. They provided a welcome rum punch. Jermaine was the tour guide. He is very knowledgeable and informative of the site. He walked us through the process explaining step by step. The old distillery is awesome if you havent seen one like myself. We then visited the tasting room which provided us with generous sample and tasting explanation of ingredients. We then finished in a gift shop where you can buy the rum or a tee shirt. They provided another version of rum punch prior to departing. It's a must visit if you find yourself on St Kitts. It is my number one site to visit.

    The International Federation of Denturists group toured Oct 4th and we were very impressed. Not only with the historical aspect but we were treated to a fascinating narrative by the owner, Maurice Widdowson. The rum is great and the grounds are spectacular. An absolute must to see.

    I would highly recommend this tour! It is a great view into history of St Kitts and the old sugar cane/rum/slave economy. We loved being able to walk through these old buildings and our guide was very knowlegable, and fun! And their rum is delicious... the welcome drinks are perfect. Definitely grab a bottle on the way out!!

    The tour was great and so was the rum! If you aren’t interested in the history, you can go just for drinks and walk Nextdoor to the manor. We loved our tour guide and learned a lot

  • 5/5 Charles D. 7 months ago on Google • 8 reviews
    Your welcomed with a rum cocktail that your allowed to walk with on the tour. The tour is very informative and interesting and I can’t say enough about the excellent guide. The after the tour you go into a private room for the tasting and explanation of the rum. You even get bottled water and a small bowl of fried plantains. Then you exit the room with your plantains back out on the patio for yet another signature rum cocktail. This tour is well worth the price and I highly encourage you to visit Old Road Rum.

    This tour and tasting was one of the highlights of our trip to St Kitts! We enjoyed the informative tour of the plantation and tasting the 12yo rum. I'm a bourbon fan and appreciated the complexity of flavors in the aged rum. I highly recommend visiting Old Road Rum!!

  • 5/5 Zhenya B. 1 year ago on Google
    I love visiting distilleries wherever I travel and this one was one of the great unique experiences I've had. Definitely recommend a visit!

  • 5/5 Katherine S. 2 years ago on Google
    went to Caribelle Batiks and so enjoyed it, but followed the trail to the Old Road Rum location. Fascinating place- no one was there, but wandered around, then purchased some at the Brimstone Fort World Heritage site. Fantastic rum, especially good over ice, or shaken with Fiji Ginger Syrup. Thanks for a great product! keep on with your project please!

    We came over from Nevis for the day and did the tour and rum tasting and everyone loved it! Very informative tour and I love how they are still discovering history around the estate. Make sure to stop by Caribelle Batik which is next to Old Road Rum!

  • 5/5 Darien P. 1 week ago on Google • 2 reviews New
    The rum tour was absolutely amazing—an experience that blended history, craftsmanship, and flavor in the best way possible. From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in the rich heritage of rum-making, learning about its origins, the distillation process, and the meticulous aging techniques that give each batch its unique character. The guide was incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating details about the ingredients, fermentation, and even the barrels used for aging. Beyond the education, the tour was engaging and interactive, with opportunities to see the production process up close and, of course, sample some exquisite rums. Each tasting highlighted the distinct notes and complexities of different blends, making it an experience for both rum enthusiasts and newcomers alike. By the end of the tour, we walked away not just with a greater appreciation for the spirit but also with unforgettable memories. It was truly a must-do experience!
