Cacao Farm Tours: the 15 Best on Earth

1.Amazing Yarra Valley Wine Tour + Chocolate, Farm Fresh, Gin

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,566 reviews · from $93Our pick

Review of Melbourne’s Yarra Valley wine tour with strawberries, wineries, chocolate, lunch, and optional gin tasting.

“This tour was a good way to sample the many offerings of Yarra Valley. You get a variety of different experiences (cheese, wine, gin, and chocolate as stated in the tour name), however each stop felt like the tour itself was very rushed and then we had too much time at the end to explore on our own and take photos. I was especially disappointed with the two winery stops, which felt very rushed and impersonal, with rather small pours. Again, I do think this is the best way to get a little experience with everything, but not so much the best if you are more interested in one specific…”

Review of Maui Ku'ia Estate’s cacao farm tour, chocolate tasting, price, access, itinerary, and tips for choosing this Lahaina experience.

“Advertised small tour capped at 10 people was incorrect. We had 13 passengers in van. Was crammed in. I asked guide and he said this is how many their tour takes, your information was wrong. Suggest you change your ad. The tour was great, people were friendly knowledgeable and sweet!!! Chocolate was great yummy”

3.Kauai Chocolate Farm Tasting Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 666 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $145

Explore Kauai’s Lydgate Farms, taste rare cacao fruit, tropical produce, honey, and estate chocolate on a three-hour guided tour.

“It is three hours long and that is 3 hours of facts and lectures about chocolate. Which is great but sometimes the facts were incorrect and I found the comment of poor farmers using rudimentary tools to be offensive. There’s no need to discuss economic status of people who work the fields. Moreover last I checked Aztecs are from mesoamerica, modern day Mexico extending down to Guatemala. So the origins of chocolate should be fact checked. Otherwise the tour was accessible. Limited walking and lots of sitting down. Lots of chocolate to eat. And some fruits. Chatty tour guide. Unique products Ultimately this tour was not for us. But it…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 171 reviews · 3 hours (approx.) · from $112

Taste Basel through cheese, chocolate, pastries, and Old Town landmarks on a small-group food walk with a local guide.

“Ignored my efforts to arrange a meet up and then reported me as a “no show” in order to keep the $350. I showed up at published “small group” meet up location on their website. The tour guide was not responsive to phone calls, emails, what’s app and viator texts. Terribly unprofessional and fraudulent behavior. Do not book. Viator has not returned my funds.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 113 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $50

Tour a family farm in Alajuela for hands-on chocolate, coffee, sugar cane, tropical fruit, and a waterfall walk for $50.

“Had an awesome experience at the farm where we explored the premises on foot while being guided by the family who explained the whole chocolate making process and showed us various tropical fruits. We got to taste fresh sugar cane juice and participated in making our own chocolates with our group. We enjoyed the traditional hot chocolate while we learned about its history. Took a short hike to the beautiful waterfall where they allow swimming. It rained while we were there so we returned to enjoy some freshly made coffee from the farm. Don Jorge's sons were wonderful hosts, will definitely send friends their way and return ourselves. Highly recommend…”
