This is a must do experience! You get to explore the process of how cacao becomes chocolate and then make your own chocolate bar! Be prepared for authentic chocolate taste! The staff is kind, they gave out water and peppermint essential oil towels to cool us off after the walk through the nature.

The Rabot estate is absolutely gorgeous and I really enjoyed this chocolate Tour. They showed you the process of making chocolate and everyone got a chance to make their own at the same time. There’s a selection of chocolates for you to purchase at the end if you wish. They also have a restaurant that I had dinner at. A lot of the dishes were chocolate or cacao themed as well as some of the drinks. The food I had wasn’t that great, but the views were absolutely breathtaking.
