Tourism Corporation Bonaire in collaboration with Caribbean Journal shares its full program of activities for the first annual Bonaire Rum Week, June 14-17, 2022.

Bonaire Rum Week is a weeklong festival highlighting the finest premium rums from the Caribbean and the island’s buzzing gastronomic movement.

“Bonaire has become one of the Caribbean’s top gourmet destinations, led by an impressive collection of world-class eateries and some terrific bars,” says Alexander Britell, editor and publisher of Caribbean Journal, which is co-organizing the event hosted by Tourism Corporation Bonaire. “With Bonaire Rum Week, we’re celebrating rum as an artisanal, ultra-premium spirit, set against the backdrop of this impossibly beautiful, pristine island.”

Bonaire Rum Week is set for June 14-17, with a full slate of events that give travelers and locals the chance to sample some of the Caribbean region’s top rums and indulge in Bonaire’s culinary culture.
