Great family experience! - We spent the afternoon with Giuseppe and Vincenzo right after the New Year and we really enjoyed it. We learned so much about the different beans coming from Africa vs S. America and the traditional chocolate making without butter as done in Modica. Getting hands on making our own chocolate bars and decorating with nuts and MMs etc was particularly rewarding as we are still enjoying the fruit of our work! Giuseppe and Vincenzo make it all entertaining and even have some comic duo energy between them that makes this experience even more fun ! Really memorable, definitely a must if you have teenage kids!

Great day in the chocolate lab! - Giuseppe, Vincenzo and Jessica provided a detailed, informative and fun experience in their chocolate lab. Our group had a great time learning about the chocolate making experience and the personal chocolate bars we made were an added benefit. If you want to learn about Modica chocolate, this is the tour to take.

UNFORGETTABLE EXPERIENCE - Hilarious and super interesting experience. My family and I had the pleasure of creating our favorite chocolate bar or rather our favorite chocolate bars (as many as 4 each). The unexpected thing is that we decided everything. We chose the type of cocoa to be used, the percentages of sugar, the type of sugar (the beet is spectacular), we decided whether to leave it pure or add the ingredients that have made available to us. We selected the cocoa beans, roasted them (you can't imagine what perfume), obtained melted the mass and started CREATING.... In short, we really became chocolatiers for a day. I recommend it to everyone... young and old.

This is an absolutely... - This is an absolutely amazing Modica chocolate experience. We learned so much about the history of Modica chocolate and the whole production process. It is extremely hands on and the team is so warm and generous with their time. Highly recommended.

Exceeded our expectations - Wonderful experience! We did everything from sorting through the cocoa beans before roasting to finishing our own chocolate bars and all the steps in between. Giuseppe is very passionate about his craft and so great at explaining all the processes. He speaks Italian and had an interpreter who was awesome at conveying all the information and instructions.

Wondeful chocolate making - the 3 of us had a wonderful experience learning about the process of chocolate making from raw cocoa beans. Fascinating! You will spend 3 to 4 hours hands on and then tasting. You will learn about the countries that sell beans such as Siere Leone, Ecuador, Dominion Republic and Peru! Only suggest is to see the cute black aprons we wore during our experience.!!!

Check it’s in English! - Really, really disappointed. Booked this a few weeks ago, a chocolate making experience in English. Was messaged today to say I would be charged an extra €50 for an English translator ( 27 hours notice!) leaving me no option but to cancel.
