Visit & Lunch | Le Domaine de Bois Chéri

Le Domaine de Bois Chéri, located at La Flora in the Savanne district, sits atop a plateau where the ideal climatic conditions are beneficial to the Tea plantations. Offering superb views of the Southern coast, the place - which is the first Tea plantation of the island, dating back to 1892 - is a haven. It is with this in mind that the property is inviting friends and families to experience the rich history and operations of processing tea. Also, at the end of the visit, they can savour Lunch and taste one of the many variants of Tea produced there.
