‘350 years of rum excellence’
Worthy Park Visitors Centre draws over 10,000 people to Jamaica’s rum heritage
The Worthy Park Visitors Centre continues to attract local and international visitors interested in Jamaica’s rum-making heritage, with more than 10,000 people touring the facility over the past few years.
Located at Worthy Park Estate, the visitors centre provides guided tours of Jamaica’s only single estate distillery, where every stage of rum production from sugarcane cultivation to distillation and bottling takes place on one property. The estate is fully Jamaican-owned and operated.
Worthy Park has been part of Jamaica’s agricultural and industrial landscape since 1670, making it one of the island’s oldest continuously operating estates. Historical records show that rum production at the estate dates back to 1741, giving it the oldest documented history among Jamaica’s existing distilleries.
Visitors begin the experience with an overview of the estate’s history and sugarcane farming practices, including the production of sugar and molasses. The tour then moves to the distillery, where guests observe how sugarcane is transformed into rum using traditional methods, including the iconic double retort pot still.
The tour concludes with a guided rum tasting, during which visitors sample selected expressions from the Worthy Park portfolio while learning about flavour profiles, production styles and the connection between the rum and the land on which it is produced. Worthy Park rums have received international recognition and awards, contributing to Jamaica’s reputation in the global spirits market.
Tours are offered twice daily, at 10:00 am and 2:00 pm, from Tuesday to Saturday. The estate is located just over an hour’s drive from Kingston and provides free parking, a bar area and a gift shop featuring merchandise and limited-release products available only on site.
Advance booking is required. Further information on tours, group bookings and local rates is available through the Worthy Park Estate website or by contacting the visitors centre directly.
