Pitorico Rum Distillery


Forget Bacardi and even Don Q – in these lofty parts they have their very own artisan rum, which comes in delicious flavors such as passion fruit and coconut. The amenable staff here will give you a free tour of their distillery plus a few tastings. It's kind of protocol to buy something in the shop afterwards, but you'll most likely want to anyway.

It's a short drive or walk from the center of town.
