What To Expect
We start with the history and process of making chocolate, and the impact of the Mayan culture within its development. Then we roast some cacao beans so that each participant dehusk their own seeds. With the husk we make a hot cacao infusion. The beans are molished and collected to make a drink with honey, chili and a secret ingredient, the way mayans used to drink it. We make another drink with milk, cinnamon and cloves, the way it was enjoyed in Europe back in the days. We proceed to a sample test of all of our chocolates, from 100% cacao, to 90%, 80%, 70%, milk and white chocolate. At the end, each participant gets 70g of melted chocolate to mold their own bombons. You can add different toppings on them.

5.00This chocolate-making experience in Antigua Guatemala was honestly one of the highlights of my trip! 🍫 The hosts were AMAZING—super friendly, funny, and you can tell they really love what they do. They made the whole experience feel fun and relaxed, not like a typical “tour.” You actually get hands-on with everything, from learning about the cacao to making your own chocolate, which made it way more memorable. I learned a lot without it ever feeling like a lesson. By the end, I had a whole new appreciation for chocolate (and yes, got to enjoy some too 😄). If you’re in Antigua, don’t even think twice—just book it. Totally worth it!

5.00This workshop was the cherry on top of the Antigua experience. So good!!! The host was able to hold my attention for 2 full hours (which is a herculean task if you know me) which speaks to her expertise in engaging an audience and her rich knowledge base of cacao. It was such an immersive experience, and Jessy is amazing. Thank you so much Jessy!!!
