Rum Tours

We offer two different run tours to two different distilleries. One rum distillery is in San Leon and it is a 5-hour tour. The other rum distillery is in Houston and it is a 2-hour tour. The rum distillery in San Leon started in 2005, was licensed in 2007, and sold its first commercial product in 2008; it is the oldest rum distillery in Texas. The drive from and back to downtown Houston is over 1 hour in each direction and we will stop for lunch, typically at a seafood restaurant along a coast. Everyone pays for their own meal, usually between $10.00 and $30.00, depending on what one orders.

The Houston distillery opened in late 2015. The drive to and from there is about 15 to 20 minutes each way. Each tour will include a discussion on sugarcane and the fermentation process, distillation, theories and operation of the still, dark versus white rum, barrel aging, and the bottling process and will provide at least 3 different samples of different rums: dark, white, spiced, and so on. These tours, particularly the Houston distillery, can also be customized, lengthened, and mixed with other whiskey distillery tours or to a brewery or you can go to both rum distilleries. Just tell us how we can satisfy you.

At each location, you can buy bottles of your favorite flavors. You can usually pay less at the source than in a store, if you can find them at a convenient location to where you live.
