Join a hands-on bean-to-bar chocolate-making class in Puerto Viejo, Costa Rica, where you'll make your own chocolate from roasted cacao beans while exploring the history, culture and flavour of cacao. Unlike plantation tours or demonstrations, every participant completes every stage of the chocolate-making process themselves.

We'll begin beside living cacao trees, where you'll learn how cacao has been cultivated, prepared and understood across different cultures. Back in our workshop you'll roast, crack, winnow, grind, refine, temper and mould your own chocolate using the same small-batch methods we use every day.
