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!

Sample Menu

DESSERT

What You Get

A variety of wooden Box styles to choose from.

What You’ll Experience

You will be given everything you need to make your unique chocolate Bars and creative packaging with your own custom design. You will take it home, wrapped in foil and sealed in a wooden container (box or tile). 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, direct tradeand organic. We have 60% dark, 40% milk (oat milk) dairy/gluten/soy free, and a White VEGAN craft chocolate to choose from. You will have a choice of box style, freshly poured fluid chocolate and 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 have a peek at the process of a small craft chocolate business. 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.

Making chocolate

Fun, crafty event. Good time for couples. Small kids might struggle with the activity. A good way to spend a couple hours.

Underwhelming
June 21, 2026

Art supplies were in poor condition (dry pens, broken tips, unorganized). Chocolate making process did not meet my expectations.
