TOURS OF CASA BACARDI

Guided tours are conducted by the BACARDI Ambassador, a seventh generation member of the family who will show you around the four areas which make up the exhibition.

HERITAGE ROOM

Here you will find out about the history of Sitges and its links to the BACARDI family. Learn about the origins of the bat as the company’s logo, the family and their history of perseverance, the awards won by the most prize winning rum in the world and see advertisement materials from the past. It will be a tour through the history of the company from its humble beginnings in Sitges to the present day.

PRODUCTION ROOM

The Ambassador will share first hand experience of the different phases in the BACARDI Superior production process and the pioneering techniques that Don Facundo used to achieve his smooth, balanced rum.

Visitors will have the opportunity to grind sugar cane in an antique press, find out about molasses, and learn about the American oak barrels used for the ageing process of BACARDI Superior and the charcoal filtration process.

BACARDI LOUNGE BAR

An impressive lounge bar shows the 21st Century image of BACARDI. As well as being a stunning piece of cutting edge design, it is also a school where visitors will get a masterclass from professional bartenders in the preparation of Original BACARDI Cocktails such as the famous Mojito, the Cuba Libre, the Daiquiri and the Piña Colada.

BACARDI TERRACE BAR

After this personal training session, visitors will have the chance to enjoy their own-made Original BACARDI Cocktails on the outside terrace in a warm and relaxed atmosphere.

The historic ‘Casa Bacardi’ visitor centre in Sitges (Barcelona) also provides event organisers, agencies & companies a modern, interesting, venue to hold successful events in an elegant and cutting-edge setting.

Located in the historical quarter of our pretty Mediterranean town, the birthplace of Don Facundo BacardíMassó,  founder of the world’s most highly-prized rum. Built in 1890 by the architect Gaietà Buigas,  this iconic modernist Mercat Vell (old market building), exudes history and character.

Visitors can take a guided tour through its various rooms, in which they can immerse themselves in the history of Sitges, its relationship with the Bacardi family, and the revolution 150 years ago that helped to develop the rum-production process as we know it.

Lastly, professional mixologists lay on a master class in the Lounge Bar to teach you all the special tricks you need to prepare various original cocktail specialities using Bacardírum, such as Mojitos, Cuba Libres, Daiquiris and Piña Coladas. Guests can then make their own cocktails and enjoy them in the Lounge Bar or on the terrace.
