Great chocolate class

Nathalie_S, Feb 2024

It was very informative and my hubby and I really enjoyed the class. It doesn’t hurt that you leave with what you created which is nice. If you want a short activity but interesting one, I recommend it.

The type of sweeth tooth you want

Brittany_A, Feb 2024

this was my second time taking a class. My first class was around Christmas and we prepared fish. The chocolate experience was nice. We made chocolate balls that were able to use for hot chocolate and we were able to make chocolate candy. I enjoyed my time and the class was fun.

WHO DOESN'T LOVE CHOCOLATE!!

TRACY_C, Feb 2024

The class was something different for an excursion. Was really hard to hear the guy talking. The guy talked way to much and didn't concentrate on all the couples. Two couples had to have the chocolate reheated to be able to make the chocolate bars. The class lists for an hour but we were there several. They have a mini market on site so plan to do a bit of shopping before or after the class.

Great taste!

Johanna_S, Dec 2023

The taste of the cacao nibs and the taste of chocolate! Unique and very strong. Memorable and great fellings!

Great experience!!! You should book this experience!!!

Catherine_H, Dec 2023

I had a wonderful time!! Rudy is the best teacher and a great chef!! I learned so much about the process of making Chocolate and how to properly work with it to form my own candy bar and hit chocolate bomb!! Rudy is so kind and patient! Thank you Rudy for a great experience! Try the Chocolate wine!!! It is so good!!!

This is a must do activity!

Sharita_W, Nov 2023

We loved learning about the chocolate making process and my kids really enjoyed being hands on with the chocolate making!

Chocolatey fun

Shehryar_S, Nov 2023

This was one of our favorite experiences on this trip! The class is intimate (we had 8 people in our class), fun, and informative. You make cacao balls for hot chocolate and 8 chocolate bars to keep, and learn how to temper chocolate to make them. Highly recommend!!

3 chocolate loving sisters

Darleen_G, Oct 2023

We were a group of 3 sisters in our 50’s. We truly loved this experience! The chocolate we made together is delicious. We had gone through a class about chocolate on Kauai last year, but this was our first time to actually make chocolate. It was a little challenging and used a good amount of upper body strength to crush the cacao beans and then manually grind them. Then tempering the chocolate required more use of the upper body, but we managed to get it all done. It was really rewarding to make the raw chocolate balls that will become hot cocoa; and to pour the chocolate into molds and then pop out the delectable chocolate bars. Felt a bit like Lucy Ricardo in the chef’s hat, but in a fun way. This was one of, if not the most favorite activity we did while in the DR.

Great time!

We had a great time! Felix taught us about the history of chocolate first with some opportunities to taste then we went to the back kitchen to make chocolate bars and candies. Overall enjoyed ourselves! The gift shop is nice as well

Absolutely fabulous family experience!!

Diana_V, Jul 2023

This was absolutely fantastic!!! It was myself, husband and two kids (9 and 11). We also had another couple in our group. Picked up right from the hotel in an air conditioned bus and driven the 20 minutes or so to Taino. They picked us up at 2pm for a 3:30 tour which seemed really early but that's literally my only complaint. As soon as we got there Wendell gave us a little presentation of cacao and then we sampled different chocolate (white, milk, 60%, 70%, 85%, 100%). That was really interesting - the 100% is very bitter (no sugar!). They offered us some hot chocolate too. (Which is funny considering it was 100° outside). Then we walked around the shop for awhile until our time started. It is a great shop with souvenirs, chocolates, alcohol, art, and a lot representing the indigenous people. Well priced too which was nice to see. And they were NOT pushy at all. The store was a little warm but we were able to handle it. Then Anthony came and got us for the actual chocolate making. He was the best!!! (And so was the second Anthony in there who helped us too). Extremely attentive to the kids but made sure everyone felt included. There were 4 stations to make chocolate so we split into groups of 2 and used 3 of the stations. Lots of steps involved and he walked us through them all and it was so much fun. In the end each station took home 2 large platters of chocolate with different toppings. We learned all about the process (getting the beans, instruments needed, right temperatures, etc) and had fun. The actual class was from 3:30-4:45. Then we walked around the store for another 20 minutes while the chocolate hardened and then were driven back to the hotel. We got back to the hotel around 5:45. I think the description said the class was an hour but from pick up (a little after 2pm) to drop off (545pm) it was more like 3.5 hours. So plan accordingly. I really wish they offered this more than just Saturdays because so many people would love this. Minimal driving and perfect for kids or those who don't want high adrenaline activities.

Great experience!! Must try!

Jennifer_B, Jul 2023

Such a great experience. Informative and entertaining guide. Perfect for all ages and you walk away with candy bars. Highly recommend!

Nice experience- if you want a chill activity this is a good one. Fun making & learning about chocolate. Also, get to take 100% chocolate home with you. FYI- wear clothing that you don’t mind getting a dirty. If you get Anthony, he is a great tour guide!
