River Antoine Rum Distillery and Organic Banana Plantation

But it is only recently that the secret has spread far beyond Grenada. Rumours have it that interest in Grenada’s fine rum is now being shown in Europe and other parts of the world. Rum making in Grenada has been a two hundred year old tradition.

"The estate dates back to 1656 when Antoine a Frenchman acquired the 500 acres plantation of bananas, cocoa, nutmeg and sugar cane in St. Patrick." Says Juney Bernard, Senior Tour Guide at River Antoine. "It was then sold to Captain Grant an Englishman in 1724. In 1786 the estate changed owners again and John Glean and Thomas Degale became the new owners until 1988 when three Grenadians, Ray Edgar, Shirley Richards and Franklyn Thomas, purchased the estate. This included Lake Antoine and the River Antoine Rum distillery. Organic bananas are now supplied to Sainsburys, a large supermarket chain in England. Rivers Royal Grenadian White Rum is also produced organically on the estate. Come and join the River Antoine Rum Tour."
