À vivre

Discover the heart of Mauritian tradition with a visit to an artisanal rum producer in Chamarel.
Nestled in the lush highlands of the south-west of the island, the distillery reveals a unique craft, passed down with passion. From the moment you arrive, the aromas of fresh cane and aged wood greet visitors. The visit begins in the fields, where you discover how sugar cane is grown, before continuing through the various stages of production: pressing, fermentation, distillation and ageing. Everything is carried out with care, often on a small scale, in keeping with tradition. The final tasting reveals rums with subtle notes, fruity or spiced, reflecting Mauritian terroir. The warm, genuine exchange with the producer makes the experience all the richer. A sensory and human discovery, blending tradition, craftsmanship and local pride. In Chamarel, rum is as much an experience as a drink.
