Overlooked by Mount Pelée, this place steeped in history recounts the incredible destiny of its incomparably flavorful rums.

With its green spaces and sea views, the Depaz distillery is a must-see stopover steeped in history. The plantation, destroyed in 1902 and rebuilt seven years later by Victor Depaz, stands apart from the town, watched over by the impressive Mount Pelée. The climate and environment give the rum a rich aroma, enhanced by a know-how whose secret has been handed down from generation to generation. A tour of the Depaz distillery takes visitors through all the stages in the production of Martinique appellation contrôlée rum, thanks to a self-guided tour with signs. A stroll through the estate's alleys leads to Château Depaz, overlooking a magnificent five-hectare park with majestic, century-old trees. After a visit to the château (for a fee), a refreshing break at the Case à Louisette will be most welcome. Named after one of Victor Depaz's first workers, the case is now run by his granddaughter, who carries on her grandmother's tradition and offers a range of homemade Péyi syrups and cakes. Next door is the rum museum. The tour ends with the boutique. Since 2019, the Depaz distillery has instigated a global project to eventually become an environmentally-friendly brand. As part of this, the distillery recently obtained ISO 14001 certification, confirming its commitment to clean manufacturing processes and to controlling the impact of its activities on the environment.

Très belle visite de la distillerie Depaz, réalisée en pleine période d’usinage (campagne sucrière), ce qui rend l’expérience particulièrement immersive et authentique.
On peut voir les machines tourner (convoyeur à cannes, broyeur/moulins à canne...) ou juste fonctionner (chaudière, colonne de distillation, cuves de fermentation ou de stockage),sentir les effluves de canne et observer l’intensité de l’activité autour de la fabrication du rhum — un vrai plus !

La visite est libre : il suffit de suivre le tracé rouge au sol et de lire les nombreux panneaux explicatifs, placés tout au long du parcours. Elle se termine par une dégustation sympathique et l'accès à la boutique, avec un bon choix de rhums blancs et vieux. Site accessible en fauteuil roulant.

Petit bémol : On aurait aimé en savoir plus sur les proportions, les volumes traités, la relation symbiotique avec les planteurs de cannes à sucre etc. On regrette aussi de ne pas avoir eu la possibilité d’échanger avec un guide ou un employé pour poser des questions sur place.

Malgré cela, l’ensemble reste une très belle expérience dans un cadre splendide, entre mer et montagne Pelée. Une visite à faire si vous êtes de passage dans le Nord de la Martinique !

Visited the tasting room and store. The grounds look nice, Montagne Pelee was covered in cloud so no views of it. Staff let me try a couple of rums, which I was able to purchase. Did not tour the facility.

Superbe endroit!
Le château est magnifique!
Seul problème, la dame qui nous a fait déguster le rhum après la visite parlait au cellulaire quand nous sommes arrivés et elle a terminé son appel et lorsque je lui ai demandé de parler plus fort, elle a été insultée et elle est devenue limite insolente
