This is an absolutely amazing Modica chocolate experience. We learned so much about the history of Modica chocolate and the whole production process. It is extremely hands on and the team is so warm and generous with their time. Highly recommended.

Intimate chocolate making experience led by artisanal chocolatier. Grateful for the translation in English. We all enjoyed being a part of every step of the chocolate making process including adding our unique touches and wrapping the beautiful bars!

Wondeful chocolate making

Catherine_C, Sep 2025

the 3 of us had a wonderful experience learning about the process of chocolate making from raw cocoa beans. Fascinating! You will spend 3 to 4 hours hands on and then tasting. You will learn about the countries that sell beans such as Siere Leone, Ecuador, Dominion Republic and Peru! Only suggest is to see the cute black aprons we wore during our experience.!!!

Immensely generous and immersive Chocolate experience

From beginning to the end (5 hours later) this was a rollercoaster of absolute delight and generosity. Learning and getting involved with the processes of how proper chocolate is made. We even got to make our own chocolate bars.

Delicious. Yummy. Tasteful.

We had such a fun time at the Modica Chocolate Factory, it’s like an actual Willy Wonka Factory! They were so nice and accommodating , they even set up a little party for one of my daughter’s birthday! It’s a fun, exciting and DELICIOUS experience, we would definitely go back again!

Unvergessliches Erlebnis

Daniela_K, Aug 2024

Ein unglaublich tolles Erlebnis. Die Mitarbeiter dieser kleinen Schokoladenfabrik sind unglaublich nett. Sie sind überzeugt von ihrer Schokolade und das sieht uns schmeckt man auch. Wenige natürliche Zutaten. Man bekommt viel von der Tradition der Herstellung erzählt, welche Unterschiede zur Massenproduktion bestehen. Man bekommt den kompletten 'Bean to Bar' Prozess erläutert und darf mit 'Hand anlegen' bevor man seine eigene Schokoladentafel herstellt. Und während die Eigenkreation trocknet, gibt es eine kleine Schokoladenverkostung. Vielen lieben Dank noch mal an die Mitarbeiter der Schokoladenfabrik. Es war ein unvergessliches Erlebnis.
