Bonne Mère Distillery: At the Heart of Rum-Making Traditions in Sainte-Rose
Nestled in the lush hills of Sainte-Rose, in the north of Basse-Terre, the Bonne Mère Distillery embodies the authenticity of Guadeloupean rum—crafted with passion and humility for generations.
This small, family-run distillery welcomes you for a full immersion into the world of traditional agricole rum, still made from fresh, locally grown sugarcane. Here, nothing is industrialized: every step—from hand-cut harvesting to distillation, barrel aging, and careful blending—is carried out with respect for ancestral know-how.
The guided visit takes you on a journey through time: vintage machines, the scent of fermentation, and stories told by those who continue the spirit of Bonne Mère today. The tour ends with a tasting session, where each cuvée reveals its finesse, character, and connection to the land.
More than just a tasting stop, it’s a true encounter with Guadeloupe’s cultural identity, in a village steeped in heritage and tradition.
