Traveler Reviews

We had such a nice time. It was a small intimate setting. We got to walk thru the steps of making our own chocolate. My husband loved hearing all the history behind it. They were so passionate their small business it was a great experience to be involved with. Took less than two hours.

Tour was excellent. This is a tiny gem a bit far from the general touristy areas but WORTH THE TRIP! Highly recommend and extremely affordable. We decided to take an uber here at the last minute when a previous excursion with another company was cancelled, and although it was quite a trek to this farm (very off the beaten path) and we arrived slightly late, they were extremely accommodating and welcomed us with open arms. We got a great 'history lesson' on the origins of chocolate, took a tour through the farm and participated in an actual bean to bar demonstration where we were able to go through all of the steps of the chocolate making process. We even got to taste hot chocolate as well as make individual chocolate bars. The staff are extremely friendly and passionate about their farm. All covid safety protocols were followed. They also have a cute souvenir shop where they sell chocolate bars, cacao butter, etc. Really glad that we decided to make the trip and we hope that we can go

Calling all chocoholics to this chocolate "shop" in a garden. You can see the process of making chocolate, sample different intensities, and buy your favorites. Enjoy!

Hidden gem close to the resort area in Nuevo Vallerta. I wanted a hands on chocolate experience along with the history of chocolate and Cacao in Mexico and that is exactly what we got. Loved every minute of the experience, our three hostesses were all wonderful and knowledgeable. We had a great time and would recommend the artisan workshop to all ages!

While visiting Bucerias, my friends and I visited Planeta Cacao for a tour led by three wonderful women who are obviously passionate about what they do. The tour was informational without being boring and included an amazing chocolate testing and creating session! We all were able to take home some tasty treats as well as a few fun facts about our favorite food. If you’re in the area, it’s a must!
