Puerto Viejo: Bean to Bar Chocolate Workshop with Tastings｜Costa Rica

Begin your experience with an introduction to the cacao tree and the journey each bean takes to become a chocolate bar. Learn about the different stages of the artisanal process, from fresh cacao (when in season) and fermented and dried beans to roasting, shelling, grinding, and final chocolate making.

Unlike a simple tasting, actively participate in the production, learning traditional techniques while crafting your own creation. Taste different presentations of cacao and enjoy a hot chocolate while we wait for our chocolate bars to set.

At the end of the workshop, take home the chocolate you prepared as a souvenir of this educational and sensory activity, ideal for those who want to understand the true origin of chocolate while enjoying an authentic experience in Puerto Viejo.
