Led by two of St. Kitts’ rum experts, the program takes participants through two classes. The first part of the experience takes place at Wingfield Estate, home to the Caribbean’s oldest-surviving rum distillery. Guests learn about rum theory and the history of rum production methods. The experience also includes a tour of the facilities, rum tasting and demonstration on how to label their own rum bottle. The second part of the experience takes place at Spice Mill Restaurant, where guests learn rum-blending techniques and cocktail creation.
