Experience Details

Here at Menchaca Chocolates we'd like to think we are adventurers continuing to re-define an ancient Pod found 150 miles from the equator. So we decided that to truly understand this magical bean you have to experience it through all your senses: taste, touch, smell, cracking and visual transformation. We developed these Chocolate & Art Workshops to do just that. You will get to know the possibilities and have a chance to make a custom unique Chocolate product and if you choose, design a label or Box to package it in. You can also learn exactly how we make our chocolate in Mr. Menchaca's Micro- batch Chocolate Factory Tour!

What You’ll Experience

You will be given everything you need to make a 14oz tray of your own custom designed Chocolate Bark. You will take it home, wrapped and sealed in a wooden tray and little wooden hammer to break apart at home or a Dinner Party. There is nothing more special then to say "I made this!" We make the finest chocolate using the highest quality ingrediencies and our beans are ethically sourced. We have 60% dark or 40% milk (oat milk) dairy/gluten/soy free, VEGAN craft chocolate. You will be handed a Tile of your choice of freshly poured fluid chocolate where you can begin designing your own flavor choosing from many inclusions such as: nuts, dried fruits, seasonings and salts. You can get creative and make a symmetrical design, landscape, or even a face using candied ginger, blueberry and pretzel sticks for example! The Chocolate making is in our Factory...so you will be able to catch one of our Menchaca's Micro Batch Craft Chocolate Factory Tours. A great activity for multi age groups or a romantic night out with a special someone. BYOB + glasses and opener if you like. Large parties please book in advance and call first.

We thought there was a “tour” to see how the chocolate was made. Did not know we would be doing an art project but it was fun.
