Saint-Martin Elevates MICE Experiences with Curated Tastings and Caribbean-French Flair
Saint-Martin continues to strengthen its position as a premier destination for high-end meetings, incentives and boutique events by blending French sophistication with the warmth of the Caribbean. Beyond its celebrated beaches and gastronomy, the island offers a refined portfolio of curated tasting experiences designed for welcome receptions, small-group meetings and exclusive VIP gatherings.
One of the most emblematic experiences is found at Colombier Tradition, where groups are invited to discover the island’s iconic guavaberry liqueur. Made from native guavaberry fruit and deeply rooted in local celebrations and family traditions, the tasting provides an authentic introduction to Saint-Martin’s cultural heritage through flavor and storytelling.
For rum connoisseurs, La Part des Anges in Grand Case offers an immersive journey into the Caribbean’s distilling legacy. With more than 150 regional rums displayed from floor to ceiling, the venue curates guided tastings that showcase artisanal expressions from across the region, making it an ideal setting for incentive groups and executive-level experiences.
Another standout option is Oualichi Gourmet, which presents curated tastings of Rhum Gouverneur, Saint-Martin’s signature rum. These experiences can be paired with locally roasted coffee and handcrafted cigars, creating a sophisticated yet distinctly Caribbean atmosphere for private events.
Wine enthusiasts are equally well catered for. Venues such as Totem Wines, Bacchus, and Le Goût du Vin offer carefully selected tastings of French and international wines, adding a refined, European-inspired dimension to corporate programs hosted on the island.
Supported by excellent air connectivity, a wide range of upscale accommodations, and a unique dual French-Dutch identity, Saint-Martin continues to appeal to planners seeking memorable MICE experiences that combine culture, gastronomy and exclusivity. The island’s tasting-led offerings underscore its growing reputation as a destination where business events seamlessly merge with authentic, sense-driven travel.
