Very educational! - Excellent factory tour! Explains the history of the company and the science behind making award- winning world class chocolates. Factory tour is led by the owner, who's background is in medical research. He understands the science behind making chocolate and explains it so everyone else can understand. Did not do the farm tour, but the factory tour starts with an explanation of the pre-work performed on the farm which determines the quality of the finished product. Very educational!

Who doesn't love chocolate - It was really interesting to see what goes into making the chocolate, everyone was really nice, and tasting the chocolate at the end was great, as it is really good chocolate, I would be intestate in doing the estate tour next time.

Incredible view, entertainment and you get to eat Chocolate - This is probably the diamond in the rough. On Friday evenings from 3:00 PM till 5:00 PM, local musicians perform. On Sundays from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM jazz artists also perform. Nowhere on the island are you able to get so close to a performer that you can actually touch him. The setting is serene. BTW chocolate is supreme.

Highly recommended experience for all chocolate lovers! - If you like chocolate (who doesn't?), this is for you. Great for adults and kids alike, the founder / chocolate maker, Gunars, give you a personal tour of the factory operations, including all the steps from cacao beans to finished product! You also get to sample with his guidance, and the tour includes $25 each gift certificate so you can buy your favorites! I also highly recommend the farm tour where you can learn about how the cacao is grown and processed.
