Avery island



Where is TABASCO® Sauce made? The McIlhenny family has made TABASCO® Sauce on Avery Island, Louisiana for over 5 generations. Built on a salt dome, it’s a mysteriously beautiful place where the red peppers grow, the factory hums, and abundant wildlife can be seen in Jungle Gardens. Spend the day learning about how our famous sauce got its start in 1868, discover the process from seed to sauce, feed your soul with authentic Cajun dishes in Restaurant 1868!, shop for those hard to find sauces and TABASCO gear in our country Store and explore Jungle Gardens, a 170-acre wildlife and botanical garden.
