    No regrets with this chocolate!

    Great! Definitely a "must-do" in Cape Town! All the staff were kind and helpful, and our "tour guide" really knew her stuff! Shioban will help you discover what kind of chocolate is your favorite and why! Love milk chocolate but can't do dairy? Need less sugar but still love chocolate? No problem. They really know how to bring out the best flavors, so we encourage you to let them share their story behind the chocolate with you!

    Excellent presentation and tasting

    Great experience. Well we all love chocolate but we never really understood how it is made and what the percentages mean. A very interesting presentation for about 40 minutes including tasting of the different chocolates including curry flavour. The chocolatier made us up a bag of mixed percentages to take away and also provided us with a printed copy of tasting notes. Visited as part of the Cape town attractions package.

    Not exactly "an experience"

    Sorry but this was not as expected. Stood in one spot, tasted 5 chocolate drops, listened to a talk. No viewing of how anything is made, was fairly boring.

    Not so great - think twice

    This is an explanation and chocolate tasting. It is very rushed - I wouldn’t recommend it. The staff are nice though.

    Chocolate tasting

    One of the activities on our city sightseeing bus ticket. A bit out of the way to find, however the staff were nice. We did taste test and learnt some things about making chocolate. They were very accomodating as we got there late but they still did the taste testing tour for us. Recommend going to support local business. All chocolate is made with beans from Tanzania.

    The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town cost?

    +

    Prices start at R 190 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Cape Town usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town take?

    +

    Plan for about 0.4 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 Cape Town is not rushed.

    Is The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Cape Town, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town?

    +

    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 The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 0.4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town?

    +

    Around 3 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town and add a light layer if any part of the 0.4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town 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 Cape Town 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 Cape Town?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Cape Town experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Cape Town: Lion's Head Sunrise/Sunset Hike, Hike Table Mountain or Lions Head in Cape Town Like a Local, Cape Point and Boulder's Penguins Full Day Tour. 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 Cape Town?

    +

    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 Cape Town?

    +

    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 The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town?

    +

    Included: Chocolates to taste. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Where is the meeting point for The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town?

    +

    Please meet us at our store (G11) in the Makers Landing. You will find us on the left side once you enter through the main entrance. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.

    What languages is The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town offered in?

    +

    Is The Art of Chocolate Making Bean-To-Bar Experience in Cape Town wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; Transportation options are wheelchair accessible; and All areas and surfaces are wheelchair accessible. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
