At Mount Gay’s Bridgetown visitor center, a Brand Host welcomes you with rum punch, leads you through the Legacy Museum and a short production film, then guides a tasting of four rums. Expect an entertaining, educational hour with time to shop, but no transportation and no distillery-floor visit.
“Fantastic hostess that made the tour and tasting a pleasure! Mount Gay rum is now in my top 5 favorites!”

“Far exceeded my expectations. We have been on many distillery tours but this one was one of the best by far. Our guide was so entertaining making it informative and fun. The cocktail class afterwards was a blast. Made a rum based margarita and rum runner which in then consume. Highly recommend for a fun afternoon”
Visit Foursquare Rum Distillery and the Mount Gay Visitor Center with hotel pickup from Barbados’s south or west coast. Learn how rum is made, taste award-winning pours, and cross the island with guides such as Dexter or Dario, who may add stops like Rihanna’s childhood home.
“It was a tipsy morning as we tasted eight kinds of rum at two distilleries. Dexter is a great guide, he is fun and informative. I totally enjoyed the tours, especially that we got to visit the Foursquare Distillery which is a bit far from Bridgetown and not often visited compared to Mount Gay.”
Pick a coast, a cave or a rum shop.
