This experience was just as fun as it was interesting…delicious, too! Our host/teacher was very smart and made chocolate come alive. Plus we got to make chocolate that was so tasty. Highly recommended for anyone interested in cacoa/chocolate.

We really enjoyed the...

Amy_R, Jul 2025

We really enjoyed the class. Very educational, and you get to make your own chocolate drink at the end. I would say we spent about 3 hours: about 1 hr of ‘class’, 1 hr tasting, 1 hr making the chocolate drink.

Delicious

Kristin_T, Mar 2025

This was a very informative and fun experience. We came away with our own custom blend of chocolate and chil.

Great family experience!

Top family experience! Fernanda was great with my 9 year old, who declared this the best tour in Oaxaca. Outstanding experience!

Best experience

Kristina_C, Mar 2024

She was very intelligent and sweet and kind, and when we come back again, we will absolutely do this class again. Also, the chocolate was absolutely delicious.

Don’t miss this experience!

Jenel_H, Mar 2024

Lupita and the whole team made this experience one we won’t forget. From the very beginning we learned about the different cacao beans then actually got to make our own chocolate. This was such a fun way to understand the cultural and social importance of cacao! The setting added to its charm and almost felt like we went back in time as we roasted, ground and created our own chocolate!

Worth your time and money

Jessica_O, Mar 2024

The class was amazing. I went in with prior knowledge and still got the opportunity to learn so much more. I also got to play sommelier with all of the varieties of chocolates and get a workout in while grinding the chocolate.

Excellent activity for families

Zach_F, Dec 2023

Fun and informative experience; 11 and 13 year old children loved it. Diego is a great host and teacher.

Informative and interesting

Debbie_M, Dec 2023

Diego was patient and informative. It was very organized and comprehensive. We learned a lot and we were the only people so it was very personalized for us.

Chocolate Making in Oaxaca

Kirk_Q, Dec 2023

Super fun and informative workshop. We learned a lot about cacao’s history and production. We sampled different beans with different styles of production, washed vs fermented, sampled different ground powders, and then roasted and ground our own cacao, which we made into hot chocolate. We got to keep the remainder of our ground chocolate as a delicious souvenir. We would highly recommend this workshop and would do it again. We did it with our two kids, 12 and 8, and they enjoyed it immensely. The staff were super friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating.

Great chocolate making experience

Jennifer_W, Nov 2023

Me and and a friend took this class while in Oaxaca. It was very impressive. They were so informative & knowledgeable. We made the best chocolate ever & got to understand how it works! The people were so so nice & welcoming.

Pealing the cacao beans...

Sabrina_D, Mar 2023

Pealing the cacao beans was fun. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. I highly recommend this tour.

Nos encantó

Fuimos mi hija de 4 años y yo, lo pasamos súper lindo. Diego y Ruth muy atentos y pacientes, explican todo con lujo de detalle, el tiempo se nos pasó rapidísimo. Mi niña no deja de presumir que hizo su propio chocolate. Lo recomiendo al 100.
