Cacao Farm and Chocolate Making Experience

Colombian cacao is world class and almost nobody outside the country knows it. Spend a day finding out why.

Overview

Colombia grows fine-flavor cacao that chocolatiers in Europe fight over, and the farms are close enough to Medellín for a comfortable day. You open pods, taste the raw pulp, watch fermentation and drying, then grind and temper your own bar.

Lunch on the farm, chocolate to take home, and a new understanding of why the supermarket version tastes like nothing.
