- Cacao farm tours & bean-to-bar demonstrations — Walk through small family plantations, watch fermentation and drying up close, then see traditional and modern methods turn beans into chocolate. It’s rare to get that full, hands-on pipeline in one afternoon, and you’ll meet the farmers whose work literally shapes the flavour.
- Guided tasting sessions and pairings — Sit in on sensory-led tastings where single-origin Grenadian cacao is compared side-by-side and paired with local rum, spices or coffee. You’ll learn to pick out floral, nutty or fruity notes instead of just “yum,” which makes every bar you try feel like a tiny discovery.

- Chocolate-infused street food and local dishes — Vendors turn cacao into more than bars: think cocoa-rubbed jerk, spicy hot chocolate with nutmeg (Grenada is the Spice Island), and desserts that mix chocolate with island flavours. It’s where haute bean-to-bar meets proper street food—messy, intense and utterly memorable.
- Live music, drumming circles and cultural performances — Steelpan, calypso, soca and traditional drumming create a carnival-like backdrop so the festival never feels like a tasting room. The music, dances and storytelling tie the chocolate to Grenada’s culture and give the whole event that warm, communal energy.
- Artisan market and hands-on workshops — Small chocolatiers sell bars you won’t find in supermarkets, and pop-up workshops teach tempering, truffle-making or packaging design. It’s the best place to buy genuinely unique souvenirs and to genuinely try making something yourself—often guided by the makers.
