BEAN TO BAR WORKSHOP

Bean To Bar Workshop

Create your own chocolate bar from scratch during the Bean To Bar Workshop, an interactive experience that takes you through the fascinating journey of chocolate making from cacao bean to finished bar.

Begin by exploring the origins of cacao and learning how ancient civilizations valued this remarkable fruit. Guests will enjoy a traditional Mayan cacao drink while discovering the cultural significance of cacao throughout history.

As the workshop continues, participants will become chocolatiers for the day. Learn about cacao beans, roasting, cracking, winnowing, grinding, and chocolate preparation before creating your own handcrafted chocolate bar.

Visitors will actively participate in the chocolate-making process, working with real cacao ingredients and professional equipment while guided by knowledgeable staff. The experience is designed to be educational, fun, and suitable for both adults and children.

In addition to creating a personalized chocolate bar, guests will enjoy tastings of fine chocolates and a European-style chocolate drink that highlights the different flavors found in premium cacao.

Once your chocolate creation is complete, take time to relax and enjoy the beautiful views of Carambola’s cacao plantation while your handcrafted bar sets.
