Nestled in the foothills of St. Kitts is Wingfield Estate, a collection of colonial-era ruins that were part of the island’s first plantation. An important producer of tobacco, sugar and rum, Wingfield was owned by the great-great-great grandfather of Thomas Jefferson, Sam Jefferson. Today, tours weave past a 17th-century sugar mill and rum distillery. A zip-line adventure is also on offer.
