⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Tiffany Made the Tour Unforgettable! - From the moment our group arrived at the Appleton Estate, Tiffany greeted us with the warmest smile and the kind of energy that instantly set the tone for an amazing experience. Her knowledge of the estate’s history, rum-making process, and the little fun facts along the way was nothing short of impressive. She made every part of the tour engaging—balancing fascinating information with just the right amount of humor and charm.
Tiffany’s passion for what she does truly shines through. She made us feel like VIP guests, took the time to answer all our questions, and made sure we were comfortable and having fun from start to finish. The way she brought the Appleton story to life made the rum taste even better (and that’s saying something!).
If you’re lucky enough to have Tiffany as your guide, you’re in for a memorable, top-notch experience. She’s a gem and a true asset to the Appleton Estate team.

Run tasting and YS Falls - The visit to the rum factory was a great look into how the Appleton rum is made. The tour guide explained how the rum was made and then took us through the tasting of different aged rums. Well worth the trip would recommend others to take advantage of this tour.
Then went to YS Falls what an experience! Due to a fair amount of rain in the days before we went there had been a lot of rain so the flow of water was faster than normal but it didn’t make any difference. The guard helped you into the falls and told you where to stand for photos.
Long day but worth it.

One of the best excursions in Jamaica - Rasia was our friendly tour guide. I learned so many things about the rum making process and aging. We ate sugarcane and tasted molasses. The Appleton signature was my favorite. Can’t wait to visit again

YS Falls & Appleton Estates Tour - The YS falls tour and Appleton Estate tours were well organized and staffed by knowledgeable people. It took us about 2-1/2 hours to get there by bus from Negril. The falls event was done safely. The guide took pictures and we had time to be in the water….
The Appleton Estate tour was informative. Tiffany did an excellent job explaining the different products. Although we got caught in an afternoon rain shower it didn’t impede the event. Lunch was included. I had bbq jerked pork, fried rice and a salad. The gift shop was clean, spacious and had great items.
The return trip to Negril took closer to 3 hours owing to localized flooding. We arrived back at Sandals at 6pm. We recommend both tours.

RUM Tour - a MUST do while in Jamacia - The Appleton Estate Rum Tour was fun and educational. We got to meet Paz, the Donkey used to portray the old way of extracting sugarcane juice. The whole process was explained from farm to bottle. The tour guide Daneel (Spelling?) was well versed in the history of the factory and the processes -both historical and present. The tour consisted of interactive stations from chewing sugar cane, manually extracting sugar cane juice, and tasting molasses - and of course the rum tasting. We were able to taste 3 different blends and we're educated on the notes, age, and pairings that suit all 3 blends. This is a tour I would highly recommend! Again the tour guide was amazing!
