Roots, Rum, Jamaica

AUGUST 2 - 6, 2024

With the Caribbean Sea to the north and Jamaica’s evergreen and lush mountain ranges to the south, Half Moon’s inspiration is rooted in the landscape and inspired by the people of Jamaica, land we love. 

Learn the intricacies and cultural relevance of rum. Experience the luxury of our sustainable farming practices, and join us as we welcome our once resident, now guest chef, Daniel East back to Half Moon. We invite you to join us for a weekend of specially curated events, in the spirit of our opening in 1954.
