Rhumerie de Chamarel
A boutique rum distillery surrounded by sugarcane fields in a valley. Visitors tour the production process and then taste rum, and there is a scenic restaurant on site.
Located in the Chamarel highlands, the distillery makes agricultural rum (Rhum Agricole) by fermenting and distilling freshly pressed juice from its own sugarcane. The tour lasts about 30 to 45 minutes and covers pressing, fermentation, distillation, and aging. Afterward, you can taste white rum, aged rum, and various flavored liqueurs. The on-site L'Alchimiste restaurant serves creative dishes made with local ingredients. Visits are mainly on weekdays, and admission includes tasting. If you are driving, do not drive after tasting. It is about 5 minutes' drive from the Seven Coloured Earths, making it a convenient stop on a southwest day trip.
