Guidekin's take

The only estate distillery on the island that grows, ferments and distils its own sugarcane juice in French pot stills, toured with a guide and finished with a welcome drink and a tasting of its agricole style rums.

It sits in Vega Alta with no transport provided, and lunch is not included. 4.97 from 35 reviews at €73 per person.

In our comparison: #7 of 13 in Rum Distillery Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (see the comparison).
