Description

Begin at a working organic cacao plantation, where knowledgeable guides take you through all stages of cultivation — from planting your own cacao seedling, through harvesting, pod opening, and extracting the beans. As the tour unfolds, learn how fermentation and drying influence the final flavor, and understand the environmental conditions that make this region ideal for growing premium cacao. After exploring the plantation, savor a freshly prepared local lunch, featuring flavors that reflect Dominican culture and cuisine. Then delight in a chocolate-tasting workshop where you’ll engage all five senses — taste, smell, sight, touch, and hearing — to appreciate the nuances of chocolate. Also part of the journey is a visit to another cacao farm where more technologically equipped, small-scale processing occurs, offering insight into how chocolate transitions from bean to bar. Throughout the tour, presenters share stories about local traditions and agricultural practices, making the experience both educational and sensory.
