Meet The Local Makers

OVERVIEW

Talk to the culinary artisans that make some of the island’s signature products and sample their delicious creations. On the way out of Castries, you will first pause at the lookout on Morne Fortune, a hill that offers the ultimate panoramic view at the capital city and the sea beyond. The views are also spectacular at Horizon Cocktails, an inland bar and grill atop a hill in Anse la Verdure that is blanketed with tropical vegetation. It is a paradisical setting for an unlimited sampling of rums produced on St. Lucia, some with sugarcane juice, others with molasses. Similarly, at the family-run bakery Plas Kassav, you will taste specialty pastries and breads whose main ingredient is cassava. As you will discover, this root vegetable is a staple grown throughout the island. For dessert, you will sample small-batch chocolates from Cacao Sainte Lucie, whose master chocolatiers will explain how they make these organic sweets.
