Chocolate & Cacao Experiences
Saint Lucia grows some of the Caribbean's finest cacao. Choose an estate tour, a hands-on workshop, or a truffle class, and make your own bar to take home.
Fond Doux, a historic working cocoa plantation in Soufrière, runs a guided tour with the traditional Cocoa-rina dance and a hands-on session where you make your own chocolate bar, with a snack or lunch option.
Cacoa Sainte-Lucie in Canaries offers a sensory tasting, the Chocolate Heights workshop, a French truffle-making class, a workshop with cocoa-inspired lunch, and a three-hour village experience on a working farm.
Project Chocolat at Rabot Estate, Howelton Estate in Castries and NobleTree Coffee & Cocoa in Micoud also run experiences; ask us for a quote on those.
