A must for chocolate lovers

The Project Chocolat experience brings new meaning to every bite of chocolate. The tour was fantastic, making a chocolate bar was fun and the lunch was delicious. An excellent 3 hr experience.

A fun and educational experience!

My wife and I did the "Tree to Bar" experience, coming in with very little knowledge on the chocolate growing/making process, and we left with a lot more information. We grafted a cocoa plant baby (Hello, Simon the Diamond!), and learned how the cocoa bean goes from a fruit on a tree to a chocolate bar. By the end, we had made our very own chocolate bar. Would recommend this to anyone who finds themselves on the beautiful island of St. Lucia! Special mention to Vernice, our tour guide, who was both exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable on the subject.

Really great day!

Xystus was our guide and was awesome. Gave us a very informative tour round the grounds and got us involved all the activities on the tour. Chocolate making was a lot of fun to finish off the tour.

First thing I planned for honeymoon

We have just gotten back to our villa after a trip to Project Chocolat at Hotel Chocolat. My wife and I had a blast! Not only was the tour informative and fun (we named our Sapling graft Horatio), it was also educational. The process of making our individual chocolate bar was challenging; it makes you appreciate how much goes into making a single bar. Well worth it! . We picked up our chocolate bar afterwards, and it MIGHT survive the trip home as a souvenir. The food was no doubt delicious. Each dish had a hint of cacao (not Chocolate) and it gave it unique tasty flavors. We are now considering staying at Hotel Chocolat should we return to Saint Lucia. The only downside to our visit, was that the gift shop was not fully open today. There was a health fair held there today for locals. This is by no means a reason to lower our score. If anything it shows how they care for their local community. Fantastic event!

Tree to Bar

This place was an amazing find to explore on St Lucia..The tour guides were amazing and knowledgeable about the entire estate and its contents. Best part of the tour was making your very own chocolate bar..
