Delicious Chocolate
This was a great experience. We learned lots about the process of making chocolate and the health benefits of eating organic chocolate. We got to make our own truffles. We also enjoyed a delicious snack of hot chocolate with cheese and bread and sampled 7 different types of chocolates that you could then buy to take some home to share or keep for yourself.
5 stars 🌟

Yum!
This was the best chocolate tour! It ended up being just me and my friend with the guide, which was perfect because we could ask all our questions & we got to learn so much about the chocolate growing and production process. The shop they teach the class in is so cute & has lots of goodies available for purchase. We got to try five types of chocolate, hot chocolate, tea, cocoa juice, and bread. Well worth the time & money. We had Melissa as our guide and she was the absolute BEST!!!

Tasting the Magic of Colombia
I booked this experience for my birthday and it was so special. Melissa and Juan were incredibly kind and generous in sharing about the culture and history of Colombia through chocolate. It was a magical and unique experience that should not be missed.
