Make Oaxacan-style take-home chocolate

Great Chocolate Workshop

I did this with my 8-year-old son, and it was one of the highlights of our trip. Everything about it was great — the hands-on chocolate-making process, the tasting, the setting — but what really made it special was our instructor, Edgar. Edgar was genuinely warm and full of energy the entire time, and he had a wonderful way with kids. Rather than just letting my son tag along, he gave him real ownership over parts of the process, which made him so proud and engaged. Edgar also taught us a few words in Xapotet along the way, which added a lovely layer of cultural connection to the experience. This isn’t just a chocolate-making class — it’s a genuinely memorable, well-run experience for the all ages. Highly recommend, and ask for Edgar if you can!

1 Hour Oaxacan Chocolate Making Class with Mole-making and Drinks

Great way to learn more about Oaxacan chocolate and culture

This was a great workshop! I learned to make mole, ice cream, and Oaxacan hot chocolate and it was all delicious. Chef Oscar was a great guide, explaining the significance of each dish and the cultural events where they are eaten. I was the only one there so I got a very hands on and personalised experience. All the staff were lovely too!
