All year round, you can see our own sugar cane patch and historic machinery used to cut cane. Then it’s into the factory for a nibble on raw sugar cane, and a taste of freshly-squeezed cane juice.
We also operate our unique miniature sugar mill to show how cane is processed, from sugar cane juice to sugar – it is a replica of how the large mills operate, just on a smaller scale!
Then comes the highlight for many visitors – the tastings of the products that we produce onsite, including our range of gourmet sauces, chutneys and relishes, our cane spirit liqueurs, made in our distillery, and other goodies!
