Grenada goes choctastic!




GRENADA’S Chocolate Festival next year runs from May 8 to May 17.

The island is one of the few places in the world where cocoa is grown and turned into chocolate using traditional methods, so the festival will follow the journey cocoa takes from tree to bar.

Festival highlights include the chance to be a farmer for a day on an organic cocoa farm learning how to pick cocoa pods, harvest the beans, and prepare them for processing. There is also the opportunity to design and create a chocolate bar under the guidance of the team at the Diamond Estate Chocolate Factory. There will be a workshop on the health benefits of chocolate and, of course, opportunities to eat the stuff.


Day tickets starting at US$36/£23 for adults and US$20/£12.70 for children.
