Rum Distillery Tour

Discover the art of Dominican rum-making at a historic distillery with guided tours, barrel aging rooms, and premium rum tastings.

Dominican rum is among the finest in the world, and a distillery tour offers a fascinating look into the craft behind brands like Brugal, Barceló, and Ron Bermúdez. The Brugal facility in Puerto Plata is the most visited, offering guided tours through the production process.

You'll learn about sugar cane harvesting, fermentation, distillation, and the barrel-aging process that gives Dominican rum its distinctive smooth character. The tour culminates in a tasting room where you'll sample different expressions — from crisp white rums to aged añejos and premium extra-añejos that rival fine cognac. It's a sensory education in one of the Dominican Republic's most important cultural products.
