The bus eases out of Castries and the road folds into banana stands and cane fields; the air tastes faintly of sugar and salt, and Marigot Bay opens like a dark glass bowl on the coast. Travelers step off for a guided walk through St. Lucia Distillers where copper stills and aging barrels occupy the same space as stories of plantation life and local craft.
