Best way to taste Rum - Our guide Asha made the experience! We did the distillery tour, which included a tasting afterwards and beach access. Stade’s has a great little set up right on the beach with a convenient bar and small menu available. The tour was very informative and Asha kept us interested and laughing. Getting to try rum right out of the barrel was a unique experience! The tasting part is done outside with a beautiful water view. We didn’t get great weather our tour day so did not use the beach itself, but very beautiful beach and views. Would definitely return.

I Saw The Sign - I have to say it... Asha was more sassy than me. She was a pleasure to be with and had a great sense of humor. I found a cask that had the last four digits of my SSN and asked if I could claim it. I think she told me "No!" three or four times. I still insist that it's a sign that it belongs to me.

Great tour for rum lovers - We almost didn’t book this tour but we are so glad we did! We had a great time on this tour! It had a super laid back, chill vibe that would want from a beachfront rum distillery. Our tour guide, Asha, did an amazing job! She was not only knowledgeable but super friendly and entertaining. After touring the distillery she walked us through 5 rum tastings - this, of course, is fun on its own but it’s done at the beachfront - even better! You’re able to hang at their beach after the tour is over to keep the vibes going. I’d recommend to anyone who visits Barbados! Thanks for the great time Stade’s!

The best ever rum and tasting in a perffect location - shame we could not stay longer! - Wow what can we say - absolutly one of the best tours we have been on! We visited Stade Rum on East Sunday 5th April 2026 a one day stop as part of our World Cruise. We were so looking forward to visiting and it didnot dissapoint. The tasting was just for 4 of us which made it so special. Ramon greeted us with a lovely rum punch, explained about the history of Stade rum and then we had the most fantastic rum tasting in such a beautiful setting. The shop also had some amazing rum and merchandising to purchase at reasonable prices. We hope to return and do a full distillery tour, get some food and chill out at Stade in the future. Thank you Ramon - such a great experience and a real highlight of our World Cruise tour.
