Traveler Comments
Great knowledge. Family farm. More than just chocolate.
Absolutely amazing. Such an interesting, lovely, friendly and passionate family.
This was an immersion in a local farm. I really enjoyed being able to see a little deeper into the culture of the locals. They were a great family and I felt honored to be a guest to their farm. And the chocolate was great too!

You will get to sample both, but more importantly, you will discover the history and production behind these agricultural staples. Whilst leading up to the tour, consider the fact that technically, neither of these crops is crucial to human survival. Yet, two of the world's luxury crops have become necessities. Can you imagine a world without either of them?
