RUM WORKSHOP
La Route du Thé, du Rhum et de la Vanille is one of the best things to do in Mauritius for an immersion into the history of the country through its rich cuisine. This authentic excursion will take you on a tour of our three (3) heritage sites: Domaine des Aubineaux, Domaine de Bois Chéri and Domaine de Saint Aubin.
The Domaine des Aubineaux, a colonial house built in 1872, will transport you to another era. It is surrounded by a magnificent botanical garden with exotic plants and endemic trees. At Domaine Bois Chéri, visit the tea factory and sample the tea produced at the Chalet in a charming setting. Finally, head to Domaine de Saint Aubin. Here, the Maison de la Vanille (Vanilla House) shows you how vanilla is processed. The Maison du Rhum invites you to discover all the stages in rum production. Finish the day with a stroll through the estate’s botanical gardens and farm. You can choose to have lunch on each of the three estates.
