Wine & drink in Grenada
Including Grenada Rum Distillery Route. On the map.
The vibe
Drinking here is centered on the potent, storied history of rum, with a character that leans toward rustic, open-air distilleries rather than polished tasting rooms. It is a year-round pursuit, best enjoyed in the late afternoon when the heat breaks and the local bars begin to hum with conversation. The vibe is decidedly local and low-key, favoring simple, strong pours shared among residents and curious travelers alike.

Grenada is world-renowned for its traditional, water-powered rum distilleries that have remained largely unchanged for centuries. Travelers visit to witness the production of potent 'rivers' rum, often tasting raw, high-proof spirits directly from the source in a rustic, authentic environment.
Access. The route primarily spans the northern parishes of St. Patrick and St. Andrew, accessible by rental car or guided taxi tours from St. George's.
Notes. Distilleries like River Antoine and Westerhall are the most iconic stops; check opening hours as they vary by season.
