Description

Good to Know

Guests make chocolate entirely from scratch using single-origin cacao we harvest and process ourselves. This is a true craft-level experience led by the master chocolatier, not a demonstration or tourist activity. Travelers participate in every step (winnowing, refining, tempering, and molding) to create bars they can genuinely say they made themselves.

All equipment and ingredients

Hands-on chocolate making instruction

Guidance from our master chocolatier

Three chocolate bars per guest to take home

Hotel pickup or transport

Retail purchases

Gratuities

Optional

Guests take part in every step of crafting chocolate from scratch. You’ll begin with roasted cacao from our organic farm, learning to crack, winnow, grind, and refine the beans into chocolate. Your master chocolatier teaches tempering techniques and guides you through molding and decorating your own chocolate bars. While the bars set, you’ll sample different origins and learn how cacao varieties and roasting affect flavor. Each guest leaves with the chocolate they made.

A Wonderful Family Experience from Start to Finish

We had such a wonderful experience at Blue Valley Chocolate! We booked a private family chocolate-making activity, and it was truly a highlight of our trip to Costa Rica. Federica was incredible - very knowledgeable, warm, and engaging. She made the experience both educational and fun, and our sons absolutely loved learning about cacao and making chocolate from scratch. We learned so much about the entire chocolate-making process, and of course, getting to taste the delicious chocolate we made ...read more

Great workshop - we can recommend!

We booked the chocolate workshop of Beans to Bars. We really liked the workshop. We learned a lot and all our questions were answered by Frederika. She made a very competent impression on us. We tried different types of chocolate and made chocolate ourselves that we could take with us. We were a group of 4 people. The workshop lasted 2-3 hours. We can highly recommend him.

Great place, highly recommend

What a delightful surprise of a class. We (two adults and two kids) did a class and it was fantastic. The owner could not have been more wonderful. Super knowledgeable, helpful and we had a blast making our chocolate. Highly recommend.
