EXCELLENT!! - Was a great experience and well worth the fee. Our teacher was very engaging, a great story teller and a lot of fun.

Worthwhile workshop with Rodrigo! - Rodrigo was an amazing host and teacher! We learned so much from him and truly enjoyed the experience. He involved all of his guests in the workshop including our two young children. This was a memorable workshop!

A hidden gem! - We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed Rodrigo’s enthusiasm and passion with which he presented the class. 10 out of 10!!

Great afternoon activity - Learned a lot about the history of chocolate. Our instructor was knowledgeable and engaging. I would recommend it!

Had a great time and wonderful teachers!!! - Great experience. This was an experience we've always wanted to attend. We did the Bean to Bar and the truffle making experience and loved it. We learned a ton about choclate and had a blast making chocolate goodies. Rodrigo and Lizette (sp?) were absoulely fun to have as teachers. Yup...we'd recommend the Choco Museo courses.

chocolate beans were money ?! who knew! - my 3 sons ages 8-11 my wife and i had a great time. Elias, our docent, brought the history of chocolate and world history related to chocolate alive. They kept my sons engaged and entertained as well as keeping the class it at a level that maintained the interest of the adults in the group. We learned how to make and were served ancient chocolate drinks, learned about pre-industrialized methods of production, and drank the best hot chocolate we have ever had. We left with chocolates we spiced and molded ourselves, happy and entertained by a great experience. The class is a great way to get out of the sun and learn about chocolate.

Highlight of our family trip to Puerta Vallarta! - We took our daughters, 8 and 11, to the bean to bar workshop at the Puerto Vallarta ChocoMuseo on our last day of spring break this year. The workshop was one of the best I have experienced. Our leader was able to engage three family groups - one from Minnesota, another from Texas, and ours from Canada - equally well in perfect English, kept the workshop running smoothly with well-practiced transitions between watching, doing, listening, creating, gave us truly interesting information about the history of chocolate worldwide but especially in Mexico. We were fascinated by the cultural adaptations of chocolate as it passed from the Maya to the "Aztecs" to the Spanish and how it's history intersected with political and religious history. I would enthusiastically recommend it! A tip to newcomers to Puerta Vallarta - we did this workshop 3-5, then strolled the Malecon (boardwalk) to the old part of town for an hour, then cut in and up the hill to the restaurant Bonita - which was really the perfect finale :)

Fun, but chocolate not great.... - This was a very fun and informative workshop, taking us through the process of chocolate making. We took off a star because we were told we'd have finished chocolate to take home and that chocolate was intended to be gifts, but when we got home and sampled it, the texture was crumbly and unpleasant and it was already discolored, so not appropriate for gifts.

It’s ok. - Was expecting more based on the reviews. It wasn’t really a cooking class so much as a I’ll make the chocolate and you guys can watch or peel the beans. We didn’t get to grind beans (like some of the pictures show) and our host didn’t demonstrate tempering the chocolate. It could’ve been because we had kids in the group, but would’ve appreciated more of an introduction, i.e., here’s what we’re going to do today. On the upside, our host was very knowledgeable and we were able to learn a lot of the history of chocolate which I did appreciate.

Microwaving Their Chocolate! - Microwaves destroy the nutrition in food and instead of melting the chocolate with natural means, this store melts their chocolate in the microwave. To call this The "Chocolate Museum" is intellectually dishonest. The products sold here, if all melted with a microwave, are extremely unhealthy.
