OVERVIEW

After touring a factory that makes rum cakes enhanced with flavors ranging from caramel to amaretto, you will sample a slice of this delectable dessert. You will also visit John Watling’s Distillery, which crafts its premium rums with molasses from hand-cut sugarcane. There, you will be served a sample freshly mixed piña colada and after one taste you will recognize the rum’s superior qualities. Similarly, following an eye-opening tour of Tasty Teas Bahamas, you will enjoy a sample of organic tea along with sampling of conch fritters and deep-fried cracked conch, a snack similar to calamari.
