Great Chocolate Workshop

I did this with my 8-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip.

A super fun experience...

Chocolate Making fun in Oaxaca

The guide was kind and extremely knowledgeable about chocolate production. There was plenty of opportunity to ask questions and explore the world of Oaxaca chocolate making.

Very cool experience

What a great experience learning to make chocolate and the culture around it. I love meeting locals that are so passionate about their country and the food they make. I can’t wait to get home and share my chocolates with my loved ones.
