Mahe Tours and Heritage

Takamaka Distillery and Rum tasting Tour

The Trois Frères distillery is set amidst one of the Seychelles most pristine national monuments; a gorgeous 200 yr old colonial era plantation estate by the name of La Plaine St. André. Trois Frères distillery provides the Seychelles islands with high quality rum based on grandfather d'Offay’s original recipe.

"Takamaka Bay" dark rum is the delicious original signature drink of the establishment. The Takamaka Bay family of products also includes white rum, coco rum and vodka; all created to exceptional quality standards.

Takamaka Rum is derived from local sugar cane. Carefully selected for its juice and sugar content, the sugar cane is chosen from the best regions on the island of Mahe. Supplied through a co-operative of cane growers, great care is taken in ensuring that the cane is wholly organic in cultivation. The granitic soil on Mahé provides distinctive “terroir” notes in the flavour of the rum. The working distillery is open to the public on weekdays.
