About This Tour

A hands-on workshop at Granada's Chocolate Museum walking you through the real bean-to-bar process — roasting, grinding, and molding organic Nicaraguan cacao into your own chocolate bar, with a traditional cacao drink tasting. Adapted from a small-group experience — Voyzo runs this exclusively as a private tour for your group only. The workshop takes place at Granada's own Chocolate Museum, housed in a historic mansion in the colonial center — real, single-day content distinct from anything covered on Voyzo's multi-day Nicaragua itineraries.

Cacao has a very long history in Nicaragua: pre-Columbian peoples in the west used it as food, drink and even currency, and Spanish-era writers prized Nicaraguan cacao for its flavour and large beans.

Granada's Choco Museo runs a roughly two-hour workshop in which participants roast, grind and mould their own bar from organic Nicaraguan cacao. A bitter, spiced ceremonial-style drink traditionally came before sweetened chocolate.

The colonial mansion setting and short length make it easy to pair with a walk through Granada's centre.
