Overview
After pickup at your Grenada hotel, travel to the De La Grenade Industries facility, where your informative guide gives you a 20-minute comprehensive overview of spice production.

Discover how the whole process works, watching through a window in the factory. At the end of the tour, sample the spices you just watched being made. Then stroll Gemma’s Garden, created by noted local gardener Gemma Flemming, for a relaxing break and to take in the fresh air. On your next stop, you’ll explore a lush herb and spice garden. Take in the vibrant scents and luscious colors as you peruse the grounds.From there travel to La Sagesse Nature Centre, where you’ll be welcomed with refreshing afternoon tea and light snacks like banana bread or cake.

You’ll have about an hour to explore the grounds, relax and watch the sun begin to set.

Traveler Reviews

Tour driver/guide was friendly and polite, however he did not explain what the group was supposed to do. Tipping was difficult because we did not know we would have individual guides at each stop. First, we went to the factoryDe La Grenade Industries and were supposed to see it in action. The workers were on break, therefore we saw stationary displays and were given samples to taste. Next we went to the herb and spice garden - wonderful smells and lovely sights. The guide was very informative. This was followed by a visit to Gemma's GardenGemRose Eden hosted by Gemma. She was eager to share her garden and knowledge with us. At the end of her tour she invited us into her home for a refreshing drink. This was the end of our tour, but according to the website description, we should have visited La Sagesse Nature Centre and have drinks and snacks, but this did NOT happen.
Overall the experience was enjoyable.
