★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 226 reviews · 1 hour 30 minutes (approx.) · from $39

Make chocolate from cacao pod to handmade bar at Planeta Cacao, a private, hands-on tour near Puerto Vallarta with tastings and local history.

“The staff were great and worked together to make our experience personal. Our guide, Adrian, was well versed on the history and all the subject matter. This is not a large plantation. Rather, a small lot with Cacao trees at various stages of growth and a short path to visit the trees. The tour includes selecting the fruit from the tree, breaking it open, and sampling the raw nuts. To expedite the process they have pre-fermented seeds ready to roast. They roasted them in front of us and then we shelled them. Then we grinded them in a hand grinder and added sugar and some cinnamon and repeated the process.…”

I loved the history of where it is produced, how it is produced, and the different kinds with the different flavor profiles. I even tried grasshoppers with the mezcal! I've never eaten grasshoppers and have always said I never would but I tried it and it was surprisingly tasty! It had a garlicky, sort of spicy taste to it that paired well with the mezcal we had. I had 2 aof nd that was my limit LOL. Shamira gave us the inside scoop to tell what percentage is authentic mezcal and I am now…”

The entire family learned a ton about Mayan culture, Cocoa, and the local vegetation. The chocolate workshop, itself, was great experience and a bit of arm workout. My daughters are ages 8 & 12, and they both seemed to really enjoy it. Lastly, I thought the chocolate was great, but my children seemed to be hypnotized by American milk chocolate! We definitely recommend for families and groups.”
