What you can expect

Step into the fascinating world of Colombian cacao with this immersive and hands-on workshop in Medellín. Known as the “food of the gods,” cacao has been part of ancestral traditions for centuries. In this experience, learn about it and transform it into your own artisanal chocolate bar.

From bean to bar, go through every step of the traditional process. Discover the origins of cacao, its role in ancient cultures, and why Colombia is one of the best producers in the world. Participate in the process that unlocks the real aroma and flavour of the beans.

Try the ancient method on a traditional molino, feeling the effort and rhythm it takes to turn cacao nibs into paste. Learn the secret behind shiny, smooth chocolate. It’s trickier than it looks, but fun to try with your own hands.

Enjoy different cacao-based drinks and flavours, including an ancestral cacao shot, and finish by making your very own chocolate bar to take home. Throughout the experience, your guide will make everything engaging and easy to understand.

Learn about cacao, Colombian culture, and creating a warm and welcoming atmosphere. Whether you come solo, with friends, or as a family, you’ll feel included and cared for the whole time. At the end, you’ll even have the chance to purchase extra artisanal chocolate bars at a special price, 100% pure, no additives, and made with love.
