A lone outpost in the wilds of Grand Fond, this little wine shop is worth a visit for its wide selection of uncommon wines, as well as for its daily "wine school" tasting at 11 am.

The Gustavia III Airport is the only St. Barts airport to serve the island, a small but recently refurbished landing strip operating in the daylight hours only. Local residents and officials alike are trying to stave off development of the island by restricting international flights coming into the St. Barts airport. It remains relatively simple, however, to reach the St. Barts airport through other Caribbean hubs. Coming from international destinations, most travelers connect via the Juliana International Airport on St. Martin/St. Maarten. It takes only ten minutes or so upon taking off from St. Martin to land at the St. Barts airport, and view of the beaches and hills of St. Barts are unparalleled. Most destinations on the island are within easy reach of the St. Barts airport. The St. Barts airport is located near the northern coast, just west of the Baie de St. Jean. For more information about the St. Barts airport, contact: Aéroport de St. Jean 0590-27-65-41 (close)
