Mauritius at its best. You can take a tour of the working machinery, enjoy rum tasting and a fantastic meal at the restaurant. More

Yes, the rhumerie is commercial, but a fun excursion! The staff is very well trained and speak excellent english (thanks Cinthia). It was informative and the tasting was very good. Be careful if you have to drive back, the roads fback to La Gaulette are quite narrow. More

The tour of the rhumerie is not too exciting or detailed, and doesn't take long, but you get friendly and helpful multilingual guides who can tell you anything you wanted to know about how rum is made. They produce a variety of very good rum and if you just do the visit you get to taste some of these, including... More

I absolutely LOVED this gem on the top of Chamarel! The views alone are breath-taking. Rhumerie de Chamarel is a beautiful example of how forward-thinking individuals on the island are successfully running a business selling high-quality Mauritian Rum while bearing in mind the impact they have on the environment. Their factory is as eco-friendly as it can be to produce... More

Every aspect of this journey will take your breath away,... More

The presentation was rather interesting and you can taste up to 8 different rhums. It is rather disappointing to visit the Rhumerie when it is down (halt of the year). Still they provide videos so you can figure out how it is. However, I really felt in a place where they want to make money (350Rs/adult), and I felt like... More

The tour guides speak very good english and are well trained, but as a chemical engineer, I couldn't resist... More
