Exploring Louisiana in your Mini-T Campervan offers the perfect blend of adventure, history, and relaxation. One standout destination on this journey is the Bayou Rum Distillery, nestled in Lacassine. Combining the charm of small-town Louisiana with the excitement of tasting locally crafted spirits, this is an adventure worth making—especially in the comfort of your Mini-T Campervan.

The Bayou Rum Distillery Tour

The Bayou Rum Distillery is a must-visit for anyone who enjoys fine spirits or is curious about the craft of distillation. As one of the most popular rum producers in the region, they focus on creating authentic Louisiana rum from locally grown sugarcane. Their facility showcases the traditional art of crafting rum while embracing modern innovations.

The tour begins with a walk through the distillation process, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how Bayou Rum is produced, from the harvesting of sugarcane to the aging process in oak barrels. You'll also learn about Louisiana’s rich history with sugar and how it has influenced the region's rum-making traditions.

After the tour, indulge in a tasting session where you can sample some of their finest rums, including their award-winning spiced rum and signature white rum. The on-site gift shop is also a great place to pick up a bottle or two as a reminder of your visit.
