Begin your experience at Cacao Huasi on the Caribbean coast of Costa Rica. Take a seat on the ocean-view deck and enjoy panoramic views of the Caribbean as the afternoon gives way to sunset.
Taste three carefully selected artisanal mezcals alongside tree-to-bar chocolate and cacao in different stages of fermentation and processing. Discover how mezcal can completely transform chocolate, revealing hidden notes of tropical fruit, citrus, honey, roasted nuts, flowers, caramel, or spice. In turn, chocolate softens and reshapes the character of the mezcal, uncovering sweetness, minerality, herbal notes, and remarkable depth.
Learn how different agave varieties influence flavor, the role of roasting, fermentation, and distillation, and why traditional production methods matter. Find out how genetics, terroir, fermentation, and roasting shape flavor, and how chocolate records the journey of the cacao tree.
To complete your evening, stay for dinner after the tasting. Enjoy 10% off the restaurant menu, making it the perfect opportunity to continue the evening with thoughtfully prepared food overlooking the Caribbean.
