Our guide was phenomenal- think it was Sean? Slender and glasses. He was fun, really knowledgeable, attentive to individual needs. Would recommend, couldn’t ask for anything better. Folks in store equally awesome. Thank you so much!

Great experience with hands on learning. Beautiful scenery. Interesting to learn about the process from start to finish. We really enjoyed the tasting in the middle of the farm. Finished off with an amazing meal at the open air, rooftop dining area. Excellent food!

Got to see the cacao trees up close and learn all about them. Best part was tasting all the chocolates! Our guide was very knowledgeable and took time to make sure everyone was cared for.
Andrea_Y, Jun 2026
My young adult children absolutely loved this tour. They had no idea what I signed them up for but where they learned about the process of chocolate making, saw the orchard, and then tasted the chocolate… they were amazed and so happy to have had this experience.
Anyone would love this tour. The thought and care that went to this non profit organization is incredible. I would consider ordering this chocolate in the future and having it shipped to Ohio.
Margot_F, Jun 2026
It was a fun, informative tour, however it was a little shorter than 1.5 hours, and the tour guide seemed slightly irritated. I also didn't appreciate being told how much to tip.
Marsha_M, Jun 2026
The tour guide was excellent and the chocolate delicious! The guide gave local history as well as telling us about the plantation. It was very, very interesting!

karen_L, May 2026
I learned a lot about growing cocoa beans and the different varieties -a very interesting tour with Lots of test tasting. Worth a visit. Rough road to get to the farm.
Gayle_H, May 2026
We met at the business address and were transported in a van by the tour guide to the farm (not a long ride). It was her first day on the job taking group herself. She was knowledgeable and shared a lot of information. We arrived at the farm (yes, there’s a bathroom) to walk a small portion where she shared some basics of the farming process. Then we went into the “tree house” where we tested chocolate. I personally enjoyed the informational part of the tour better than the taste testing. I do like chocolate, but perhaps my palette prefers the cheap stuff?

Pamela_C, Apr 2026

Randy_B, Apr 2026
The Cacoa Farm Tour was wonderful and our guide Gabriel was very informative.
In addition, the chocolate tasting at the end of our tour was yummy and delicious.
Michael_W, Apr 2026
This experience was wonderful. A small group made this so much more personal. The cacao plantation was so cool, and the fact that it was created as a way to experiment with new ways of growing/farming cacao was such an eye opener.
Our guide was pleasant, courteous, and extremely knowledgeable.
A wonderful excursion overall.
Drew_D, Apr 2026
The tour was extremely informative and tasty. Our tour guide, Brandi, did an outstanding job. Highly recommended.
