Guided Chocolate tasting

Join us in our cozy retail café in downtown Ann Arbor for a one-of-a-kind chocolate tasting and learning experience. Discover the story behind Mindo Chocolate Makers—from our roots in Mindo, Ecuador, to the craft and care that go into every chocolate bar we make here in Michigan.

Through an engaging slideshow and guided tasting, you'll follow the full journey of bean-to-bar chocolate. Spend an hour with us learning how we craft our small-batch chocolate using heirloom Nacional cacao from organic, family-owned farms in Ecuador, what makes different chocolate percentages unique, and discover how each step shapes the final flavor.

To keep the experience fun and interactive, classes are limited to 16 participants. Recommended for ages 10 and up.
