This is such a wonderful experience. From June to November you could actually visit the farm for your. Unfortunately, we were only able to do the in-person tutorial. Are guide was super knowledgeable and all these samples were incredible. We were walked through the start to finish of how to make chocolate and the importance/significance to the Mayan culture. If you are in a San ignacio this is an experience you must participate in.

Adrian could not have been more welcoming in showing our family around the cacao farm. We learned so much about the importance of farmers in our chocolate experience! We got to sample lots of things along our tour--grapefruit, coconut water, cocao seeds to name a few. It was also an honor to meet the farm's owner. Back at the shop, we learned all about how cocoa nibs are ground and turned into true chocolate for eating or drinking. Fascinating!

I will never view chocolate the same way again. This historical chocolate making class was everything I wanted and more. We didn’t make sugar filled bars. Instead we learned about how sacred the chocolate drink and cocoa bean is. The teacher was very knowledge and we had a great time asking questions and learning. I highly recommend.

I had a fantastic time here on the chocolate making and tasting tour. The team were friendly, knowledgable and this was a great hour of the afternoon well spent. It was packed full of history and I learned how to make traditional Mayan chocolate, grinding roasted cacao beans by hand on a stone slab. I tried the Mayan chocolate drink with chilli and honey - it was absolutely delicious. Cannot recommend it enough!

This experience was the highlight of our trip to San Ignacio. Getting to learn about (and taste!) each stage of the traditional chocolate making process was super cool. The staff were welcoming, friendly, and passionate. Can’t recommend this tour more!

We went on the farm tour which added an extra layer of context to the demonstration. If you're a chocolate lover this will give you a new respect for the cultural importance of cacao. Thank you Adrian and the team for such a great experience.

We had an absolutely phenomenal time at the chocolate making workshop. We learned so much and the hosts of the workshop did an incredible job teaching us the history of cacao and showing us how to make Mayan cacao beverages. Absolutely great!

Very knowledgeable and fun to hear the Mayan stories and meaning. Had beautiful instruction on the pure ways the Mayans made chocolate and drank or as a ritual and be ordained at age 9. All in all a fun, interesting and enjoyable experience.
