When I first started travelling, I really enjoyed the context provided by those old fashioned guidebooks, how the history of a country, a town a people were linked to what had happened there. I was stunned to realise that our food has been on a similar journey and I wanted to offer more than a class that teaches you how to play with melted chocolate, so here it is, a hands on entry into the world of chocolate making, from the tree to the bar and beyond. Oh this is all vegan, dark chocolate is vegan but it will taste like Christmas so milk chocolate fans, this will be a revelation.

    Great Time with Nick and Marta!

    Great experience, Nick and Marta were amazing and the smaller ones learned how chocolate is made and got to make their own. It was a lot of fun and one of our favorite excursions.

    Excellent, unique, and educational!

    My husband and I were looking for a unique experience close to the Falmouth Port and Nick did not disappoint. Although we were an hour early (ship time instead of island time) Nick accomodated us. I cannot overstate the richness of the history lesson we received about the history of chocolate in Jamaica and thFalmouth Chocolate Factory. Njck is a fantastic story teller and very passionate about cultural contributions. Chocolate making is an art, and an artist Nick is. We tasted chocolate, and made our own bars with add-ons such as dried mango and almonds. We had a window view of the factory in progress. The factory is inside the port gates, so cruisers can easily access it. The walk is very short from the ship. There are stairs and an elevator to access the second level of the air-conditioned building. We picked up our chocolate a couple hours later from Nick's cart at the street level. There, he was educating other customers. We purchased more chocolate and picked up our specialty bars. Please consider purchasing experiences that support local vendors, businesses, and commerce. The Falmouth Chocolate Factory is definitely a jewel of the port.

    Tasting Jamaican Culinary History

    A group of us did an amazing tasting experience where we learnt about the history of cacao in Jamaica from the earliest indigenous Taino people to its role in the present day. Our hosts Nick and Marta taught us the dynamics of chocolate making from bean to bar and we got to sample single origin chocolates from cocoa estates around the island. We also sampled beverages made from chocolate including a traditional tea and a modern cocktail. The experience was an oral and gustatory delight! A must do if you are a chocolate lover.

    A Blessing for Chocoholics

    What an awesome journey through Jamaicas cocoa history. Nick brings the rich history of chocolate in this region to light in a very informative and engaging way. Everyone knows about coffe from Jamaica but everyone should really know about cocoa too and with Nicks family history steeped in cocoa farming and his BBC journalistic background there is noone better to tell this story. The best part is you get to taste the amazing chocolate too!

    Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Trelawny.

    How much does Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $145 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Trelawny usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 1.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Trelawny is not rushed.

    Is Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Trelawny, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Trelawny can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Trelawny and add a light layer if any part of the 1.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Trelawny within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Trelawny?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Trelawny experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Private Authentic Down-to-Earth Half Day Tour in Montego Bay, Private Montego Bay Customized Tour with Pickup and Guide, YS Falls, Black River Safari, Appleton Rum Tour OR Pelican Bar (Choose Up to 3). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Trelawny?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Trelawny?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour?

    +

    Included: Bottled water. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for Make your own Bean to Bar Chocolate Factory Tour?
