Tours, Tastings, Classes and Presentations
We offer chocolate tours in both Dexter, Michigan and Mindo, Ecuador, where we invite anyone to witness and become a part of the process of chocolate-making. The journey begins with the Theobroma cacao tree and finishes with a beautiful, one-of-a-kind craft chocolate bar or beverage.
We hold a number of events at our cozy chocolate factory nestled in the quaint woods of small-town Dexter, Michigan. From informative classes to interactive tours, from truffle-making to tasting, we have so many wonderful opportunities for a fun day out with family and friends! All ages welcome.
