The Perfect Birthday Chocolate-Making Experience!
My boyfriend and I had such an amazing experience with Martin! He was incredibly kind, thorough, and made the entire workshop so much fun from start to finish. He explained the chocolate-making process in detail while keeping everything interactive and enjoyable.
The workshop ended up being just the two of us, which made the experience feel so intimate and special. Martin even took photos and videos of us throughout the process so we could keep those memories forever, which was such a thoughtful touch!
Everything was very clean and sanitary, and the chocolate we made actually turned out SO good! 🍫🤎 This was easily one of the highlights of our trip and the perfect birthday excursion. We couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Martin!
Operator response
Thank you so much for your kind words, they mean a lot to us. We are very happy you enjoyed our chocolate truffles workshop with Martín.
We hope to see you again at ChocoMuseo Puerto Vallarta.

Don’t skip this
This chocolate and truffle workshop was incredible! Rod was entertaining, knowledgeable, and engaging throughout the entire experience. We had so much fun learning how to make our own chocolates, and the truffles and bonbons we created were absolutely delicious. This was one of the highlights of our trip, and I highly recommend it to anyone visiting Puerto Vallarta!
Operator response
Thank you SO much for your great review, Shelton. Your words mean a lot to us. We are happy you enjoyed our truffles workshop with Rodrigo. We hope to see you again at ChocoMuseo Puerto Vallarta, for a Mole Poblano or a chocolate macarons workshop.

Teacher was 20 min late...
Teacher was 20 min late and then ran 20 min over, and spent a lot of time just trying to cool the counter for the chocolate. Wasn’t as hands on as I would have liked and a lot of just sitting around and waiting.
Operator response
I am very sorry we started the workshop late. This shouldn't have happened. As it is very hot in Puerto Vallarta, even with the air-conditioning on, we sometimes struggle during the summer to lower the temperature of the chocolate on the marble (to ensure a good pre crystallization of the chocolate). We will work on the process to improve the experience. Have a nice day.

Outstanding class, education and experience with Rod.
Outstanding experience with Rod. His knowledge and teaching skills are fun, engaging and enthusiastic. My friend and I loved learning all about tempering, chocolate, and what a rare gift of Mexican Chocolate. We think they should FRANCHISE!!!. Best of luck! And if you get the fortunate chance to participate in chocolate making and education with this great PVR gem, we highly recommend it!

Fun and tasty activity! Learned a lot!
This activity is a lot of fun and super informative!
Our teacher was Rodrigo and he was amazing! He was super friendly and has so much knowledge to share, we learned a lot.
Rodrigo was very good at explaining each step and teaching us the best techniques. We had some laughs and enjoyed a bunch of tastings too before and during the class.
Our chocolates look and taste amazing and we would highly recommend this tour to anyone!
Great way to spend some time out of the heat in PV! :)

A wonderfully fun and informative chocolate making workshop.
What a great experience!!! I really enjoyed my workshop with the fellows from ChocoMuseo. The history lesson was very informative and I liked how they paired it with the various chocolate drinks from the Mayan, Aztec and European cultures. I already had chocolate making experience but they taught me several things I didn’t know. The truffle making part of the workshop was fun and very “hands on.” If you’re interested in learning about chocolate I highly recommend ChocoMuseo!!!

Fantastic experience!
Rod was funny, engaging, and a great teacher. He made the experience so much fun. It was much better than any of the excursions from the cruise ship.
FYI - keep in mind that local time is one earlier than cruise ship time so plan ahead on the timing.
Operator response
Thank you very much, Mary, for taking the time to write this nice review. I am happy to read that you liked our workshop better than other excursions 😉. The time in Puerto Vallarta is, indeed UTC-6.
Have a lovely day.

Chocolate lover's dream!
There's only so much time I can spend at beachside or poolside during a two-week stay in Puerto Vallarta, so we book activities and excursions. A class at the Chocomuseo has been on our repeat list for several years already! Wander through the free museum and learn a bit about that item the Aztecs called "the food of the gods." Sign up to make chocolates, and/or truffles, which you will get to take with you. A newer addition is a mole class, that rich smoky sauce with a bit of unsweetened chocolate. We've never been disappointed by the instructors nor the delectable treats!
Operator response
Thank you very much, Ursula, for your nice review.
We are glad you enjoy our different workshops and instructors! Have you tried our chocolate éclairs and chocolate macarons workshop?
Have a lovely day.

A Sweet and Memorable Experience!
We recently had the pleasure of attending a chocolate bon bon making class with Rodrigo, and it was hands down one of the highlights of our trip! We reserved a weekday session, which meant we had the entire class to ourselves—a truly personal experience.
Rodrigo was an incredible instructor. His passion for chocolate was evident as he guided us through the fascinating history of this beloved treat. We learned not just the techniques of making beautiful bon bons but also the art of chocolate tasting and pairing. Every step was engaging and informative.
What made this experience even more special was the intimate setting. With just the two of us, we had plenty of time to ask questions and get hands-on with the chocolate-making process. My husband couldn’t stop smiling—it was his favorite activity of the trip!
The joy of creating something delicious together, combined with Rodrigo's expertise, made for a memorable afternoon. We left with a box of our beautiful bon bons and a newfound appreciation for chocolate.
If you’re looking for a fun, educational, and delicious experience, I highly recommend this class! Thank you, Rodrigo, for such a sweet day!

Whaouh! Thank you so much, Gabrielle, for your great review! We are very happy you and your husband enjoyed our chocolate truffles workshop with Rodrigo.
