D Coal Pot Cooking

From $105
Tortola

When you head to a local kitchen that promotes women in business and authentic cooking, you come hungry and leave fully inspired.

Over the past 40 years, many girls in the BVI have been sent to colleges abroad to acquire business skills, only to return and help their communities thrive. Learn more about their ventures after a scenic drive to the island's north shore, where you'll visit D'Coal Pot and get a peek inside Ms. Everlyn's kitchen — a tribute to her Guyanese roots. Grab a snack, taste a local juice, then head to Crafts Alive to check out the handcrafts presented at colorful booths overseen by female entrepreneurs.
