History
The rum-making tradition at the Hacienda Santa Teresa dates back two centuries, to a time when the enterprising colonizers plowed for the first time its fertile soil and planted the first sugarcanes. It was the year of 1796, a year that would mark the beginning of a continuous effort to produce the fine rums Santa Teresa is famous for.
The sugarcane is grown in the fertile valleys of Aragua, in the heart of Venezuela. Once harvested and processed, it is transported to Santa Teresa’s modern distillery. It is here where the master blenders, with the help of modern equipment, transform the raw material into world-renown Venezuelan rum.
The Hacienda Santa Teresa has carefully restored the old train station “El Consejo,”
which is now open to visitors
