Both Project Chocolat and Morne Coubaril Estate offer immersive, mouth-watering experiences that walk you through the magical journey from cocoa pod to chocolate bar—with plenty of delicious detours along the way. Prepare to learn, laugh, and (let’s be honest) leave with your hands and face covered in chocolate.
At Project Chocolat, you’re not just watching—you’re participating. You’ll crack open cacao pods, grind nibs by hand, and create your very own chocolate bar (yes, you get to keep it… if it survives the trip back to your hotel). This sleek, modern experience is paired with a farm-to-table restaurant that puts chocolate in everything from sauces to cocktails. It’s part Willy Wonka, part sustainable agriculture class, and all yum. And if you’ve never tried chocolate BBQ sauce, prepare to have your life changed.
Over at Morne Coubaril Estate, the vibe is a bit more rustic and historical. The estate dates back to the 18th century and offers a look into traditional cocoa fermentation, drying, and processing. You’ll also get a glimpse of old-fashioned island life, complete with a working sugar cane press and mule-drawn carts. It’s a rich experience (pun intended) that blends chocolate with culture and history, and there’s something truly magical about eating a truffle while learning about colonial trade routes.
Hot Tip: Try both tours if you can—they offer totally different vibes. And don’t wear white unless you’re confident in your cocoa-grinding skills. Your shirt may become a souvenir.
