Cacao Mindo

We asked the locals at one of the restaurants in Mindo for the best chocolate tour, they sent us here. Not a tour as such, more an experience. We started by getting the differences explained between different cacao sorts...and tasting the white stuff they are coated with when fresh (delicious), the on to drying, roasting our own beans and grinding them. All ended in sampling different combinations of flavours and ultimately a delicious chocolate fondue...yummy. Miguel our guide was super passionate and extremely knowledgeable...He was awesome.

Amazing! The cacao tour was interesting and the tastings were delicious. The owner is really keen about organic and sustainable produce. The result is the best chocolate I have ever had. They also make many other products.

A very interesting tour showing the whole process of producing chocolate. Also lots of other tasty stuff done from cacao plants: wine, beer, spices etc.

Fantastic tour, both English and Spanish-speaking. Probably one of the best brownies you'll ever have. Be sure to try the Chocolate Ice (chocolate milk on steroids) and the juice of the cocoa.

Very nice place, it was very interesting to understand the process. Food also was very good.
