Cocoa Discovery Workshop and Chocolate-Making Class

This unique chocolate-making workshop is a sensory, cultural and gourmet journey for young and old alike! In this lively experience accessible to all, you'll explore the history of cocoa, a sacred and medicinal plant from South America, and its artisanal and ethical processing methods. Guided step by step, you'll prepare your own "bean to bar" chocolate - just like in the finest chocolate factories - as well as the traditional Xocolatl drink. You'll also have the opportunity to discover the use of ancestral tools such as the metate, a traditional Mesoamerican stone used to grind cocoa. A sensory, educational and deeply gourmet experience, to be enjoyed with the whole family or among curious friends... The workshop lasts 1 hour and 30 minutes in total. Children ages 6 to 12 must be accompanied by an adult. If you have a cushion, you can bring it to this workshop. In winter, be sure to wear sturdy shoes and bring crampons, as the parking area may be icy. Reservations can be made until 5:00 p.m. the day before.
