Tasting Tour
“Like a wine tasting but with chocolate, where each taste tells part of the fascinating story of chocolate.”

Sibö’s Chocolate Tasting Tour is an interactive tasting experience and presentation on the history of chocolate at our artisan chocolate workshop, set in a garden just outside the quaint village of San Isidro de Heredia.
During the hour-long experience, our master chocolatiers share samples of fresh cacao fruit (when available) as well as roasted cacao beans, indigenous hot chocolate, as well as European-style bonbons freshly made on the premises.
We’ll trace the flavor evolution of chocolate, from its role as a sacred ceremonial drink for indigenous Costa Ricans to its use as a stimulating elixir for European aristocracy, all the way to innovative recipes today’s craft chocolate movement.
Our guests leave with a deeper appreciation for chocolate and an expanded sensibility about this “food of the gods”.
