Chocolate is one of the world's most popular foods and flavors, and many food products contain it, particularly desserts such as ice cream, cakes, mousse, and cookies. Many sweets are filled with or coated in sweet chocolate. Chocolate bars, whether solid chocolate or coated with other ingredients, are consumed as snacks. Chocolate gifts molded into various shapes (such as eggs, hearts, and coins) are traditional for certain Western holidays, such as Christmas, Easter, Valentine's Day, and Hanukkah. Chocolate is also used in hot and cold beverages, such as chocolate milk, hot chocolate, and chocolate liqueur.
In this experience we will take you to visit our natural cacao plantation and show you hands on how chocolate trees look and produce.
Also, we will show you how this plant was used ancestrally and considered as a sacret food.

Great tour to learn more about chocolate and coffee production in Costa Rica! It was neat to see all of the steps of how chocolate is grown & produced and then try it. The lunch was also great! If you drive yourself, the road into the farm is a little rough (gravel) but otherwise pretty easy to find. Highly recommend this tour!

A wonderful experience to learn a little about cocoa and coffee farming and traditional techniques. Juan was a superb guide - not only a knowledgeable instructor but he has one ear constantly in tune with the surrounding symphony of life and points out birds, snakes, lizards and more. He even got me to hate mosquitoes a little less! They too are pollinators! We made a chocolate “sundae”, dipped delicious Arabica coffee, and finished the instructional tour with a sugar cane cocktail shot. We finished with a lunch in the quaint town of Quepos at Bonding restaurant with a traditional Casado. A perfect morning with Juan and team!

One of the best experiences during a family vacation in Dominical, Whether you viist solo, as a couple, with family, or with kids, this is something that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and backgrounds. The guide, I believe his name is Juan, is so knowledgeable about not only coffee and cocoa, but the various herbs that grow on the grounds (which is modelled after a natural garden, not a traditional farm). He's very down to earth and one of the most enjoyable parts of the tour was seeing him prepare hot chocolate in the same way as it would have been prepared in the ancient Aztec and Mayan empires. And yes, as a guest, you can help yourself to seconds. Ditto with the coffee itself and the various roasts. One particularly cool part of the trip was getting to sample cacique (Costa Rica's national spirit; clear and strong, a bit like cachaça or rum) in a traditional cocktail that was popular amongst farmhands. The wild thing is.... there is truly no alcoholic aftertaste, at all. It was part of the lore and it is still true to this day. Delicious but dangerous. Lunch was included in the tour and the restaurant in town was very accommodating for people with dietary restrictions and/or food allergies. It was near a small hotel as well with a nice gift shop. Lots of coffee and chocolate items, along with some beautiful local pottery, one can bring back as a souvenir or gift.

Juan is a great guide! He will teach you about chocolate, coffee, sugar cane juice and drink água de sapo. It is a great activity for kids as they can interact throughout the process.

Juan was our tour guide and he was awesome! We did the tour in the rain and he still accommodated us and made the tour just as good, if not better. Very informational and interesting tour! I would do it again and recommend this to anyone.
