A Great Time at The Academy of Rum

This was such a fun outing! Our guide was knowledgeable, pleasant, and engaging. We encountered traffic on the way and she graciously waited to ensure that we had the full experience. The personalized bottle and certificate are perfect souvenirs. I definitely recommend this experience for Antigua visitors.

Rum making on the beach!

Rum making on the beach! It was such an intimate, fun and unique experience from start to finish. Lana was absolutely fantastic — so knowledgeable, engaging and bubbly, she instantly made everyone feel relaxed and involved. The experience starts with tasting an array of their delicious flavoured rums, which is a great icebreaker and gets everyone sociable. They have some really delicious and unique flavours; all of them are made using local ingredients in small batches. For hardcore rum enthusiasts there is the classic aged or spiced and for those who like something a little less intense, their rum creams are to die for. Then comes the really fun part — experimenting with different flavour combinations to create your perfect rum. Once you’ve perfected your recipe, you mix it with their rum, pour it into your own bottle and design a personalised label. One of the best parts was finishing the bottle in true pirate style with a wax seal! Such a fun touch. We also loved receiving certificates at the end for completing the rum masterclass — another lovely detail that made the whole experience feel extra special. The prices are really reasonable; they offer a couples price for a single bottle between two as well as single prices. They also sell their rums in full size and minis that you can take back to enjoy or as gifts. This was truly a bespoke experience and definitely our favourite activity of the holiday. We actually booked it as a birthday present for my dad’s 60th, and it could not have been more perfect. A must-do if you’re visiting Antigua!

What a fun day!

What a great way to spend a day on the island. Each couple made a bottle of rum flavored with any combination of homemade flavors. Ours is vanilla, coconut, mango with a hint of ginger. It was educational and fun. Highly recommend!!!

Loved this experience in the beach

One of the most unique and fun experiences we had in Antigua was the rum-making class on the beach with Roman Economy! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was amazing — beautiful ocean views, warm island breeze, and such a fun energy all around. Antigua is already such a stunning country with some of the most beautiful beaches and scenery we’ve ever seen, and this experience fit perfectly into the island vibe. The instructors were fantastic. They were hilarious, engaging, and made the entire class feel interactive and entertaining from beginning to end. You could tell they were passionate about what they do and genuinely wanted everyone to have a great time. They explained the rum-making process in a way that was easy to understand while still making it fun and hands-on. We loved getting to create and taste different rum combinations right there on the beach while learning more about the island’s culture and history. It felt like such an authentic Antiguan experience instead of something overly touristy. The staff was incredibly helpful, attentive, and welcoming the entire time, and they made everyone feel comfortable and included. This ended up being one of the highlights of our entire trip. If you’re visiting Antigua and looking for something memorable, fun, and different to do, I highly recommend booking the Roman Economy rum-making class. It was the perfect combination of beautiful scenery, local culture, laughter, and great drinks!

Fantastic experience.

Fantastic experience. Went with my partner on the 19th March.   Lana our Rum host/instructor was funny and informative and explained the process very well. ( I don’t want to give too much away as it might spoil the experience for others)   The mixture of shots to sample was an experience, and we both enjoyed varies different ones.  The making of the rum and trying different rums was a great enjoyment, were now back in the Uk and looking forward to sampling our bottles this weekend. Would definitely recommend.
