Alot of people do not even know this place exists and it is only a 10 minute cab ride from the French Quarter. Celebration Distillation is the Oldest Operating Rum Distillery in the United States. It was started 15 years ago by the Artist James Michalopoulos. They Produce 4 different rums year round. Thier Cajun Spiced Rum was voted the number one flavored rum on the market for the second year in a row by the Beverage Testing Institute BTI.
They give tours on a daily basis @ 10am 1pm and 3 pm and the tours are only ten bucks!
They include one of the specialty drinks - their cajun iced tea is my favorite on hot summer days!
you also get a tour through the distillery by one of the two distillers and a tasting of all of their products.
you can purchase the products right at the distillery and they even have a specialty 10 year product that is only available at the distillery!
This is really a unique and interesting thing th check out in new orleans that truly is different than everything else.
I would absolutely suggest calling and getting good directions before venturing out to them. Alot of the road signs in their area are still missing after Katrina and can make it kind of hard to find them. They had over 9 feet of water and have come back really strong
They also do alot of special events and love large groups so make sure to call ahead and that one of the daily tours has not been canceled or postponed for a special event
