About the Experience

The Colombian Cacao Experience is a hands-on chocolate-making workshop in Medellin, Colombia. In one session you roast cacao over fire, grind it on a traditional molino, and make your own chocolate from bean to bar. It is rated 5.0 on Tripadvisor and ranked number 1 in Classes and Workshops in Medellin.

This is more than a workshop; it is a story. We invite you to discover the ancestral process of chocolate making in the heart of Medellin, side by side with locals who love cacao, culture and connection. From bean to bar, you do every step yourself.

Medellin is known for its coffee, but cacao is just as much part of Colombia's story. Our experience is a warm, authentic alternative to the well-known Pablo Escobar tours, made for travellers who want to do something real.

We had such an amazing time with the Colombian Cacao Experience! The tour took us through the entire process, from cacao pod to finished chocolate bar, and the best part was that we got to do everything ourselves.
