Côte d'Ivoire is the world's leading cocoa producer. And yet, few people have ever held a bean in their hands, smelled its raw scent, or understood the path it takes before becoming chocolate. This experience is exactly what Sankofa Road offers you in Grand Bassam.
In 2 hours, delve into one of the country's most iconic industries, from the plantation to the tasting.
Walk through the cocoa plantation
The discovery begins among the trees. Guided by a local expert, you'll walk through the plantation, learn to recognize the pod, and understand the stages of cultivation and harvesting.
Making your own chocolate
After the plantation, it's time for the workshop. You take matters into your own hands, roasting, grinding, and mixing, and create your own handmade chocolate bar from scratch. A fun, surprising, and delicious experience to enjoy alone, as a couple, or with your family.
Food tasting
The best for last. Taste what you have created and take your creation home with you as an edible souvenir that is 100% made by you.
This experience is ideal for the curious, food lovers, families, and anyone who wants to understand where chocolate really comes from.
