The partners of Rhum Fest Paris 2026
Women Leading Rum
Women Leading Rum is an exclusive platform, part of TheRumLab, to recognize women involved in the rum industry and establish connections between them, regardless of their position in the industry.
This initiative arises as an educational and professional exchange where women will be able to support each other through executive training, workshops and mentoring to enhance the value that each of them brings to the world of rum.
Chocolats Lauzea
Born in Martinique, the Lauzéa brothers craft exceptional chocolates every day, blending artisanal tradition with a Creole spirit. Ganaches, bars, confections, and fruit jellies: each creation is handmade using the finest cocoa beans and the highest-quality ingredients.
A brand dedicated to pleasure and elegance, which also offers champagnes and liqueurs for an exceptional tasting experience.
Guala Closures
Guala Closures is a global leader in the design and manufacture of caps and closures for wines, spirits, beers, and beverages. With a presence on five continents, the group partners with leading brands by combining industrial innovation, design, and performance.
From tamper-evident caps for spirits to screw caps for wine, each solution is designed to protect the product’s integrity, reinforce the brand’s identity, and deliver a memorable opening experience.
Caveman
Caveman is a specialized magazine dedicated to the world of spirits and beer, conceived and designed specifically for enthusiasts and professionals who frequent wine and spirits shops. Born from a simple observation—that the world of wine and spirits shops was sorely lacking a publication capable of capturing this universe in a high-quality, visually engaging, and informative way—Caveman has established itself as a leading authority in this sector, which still receives little media coverage.
Throughout its issues, the magazine takes readers on a journey to meet passionate wine and spirits merchants, explores the major families of spirits, and analyzes market trends. With on-the-ground reports, product selections, and tasting tips, it offers a reading experience that is as enjoyable as it is informative.
Rumporter
Rumporter is the leading publication dedicated to rum culture. From distilleries and independent bottlers to cellar masters, terroirs, and trends, the magazine explores every facet of this dynamic world, from the Caribbean to the four corners of the globe.
Through its articles, Rumporter analyzes styles, publishes tasting notes, offers in-depth features, and also ventures into the realms of mixology and gastronomy. A must-read for both discerning enthusiasts and industry professionals.
