BRE On Tour · London · 16 October 2026
The Barbados Rum Experience Comes to London
For one day only, ahead of UK RumFest 2026, BRE brings its acclaimed seminar programme to London — four sessions with the finest minds and master distillers in rum.
One Day. Four Seminars.
A Day of Rum, History & Mastery
The Barbados Rum Experience is crossing the Atlantic. On 16 October 2026 — the day before UK RumFest opens — we’re hosting an exclusive one-day seminar event in the heart of London. Four in-depth sessions led by world-leading historians and master distillers bring the depth and rigour of our Barbados programme to UK soil. This is not a tasting tour.
