Chocolate Tour & Tasting

Learn. Tour. Taste. Experience The Journey!

A custom Private Chocolate Tour of Los Angeles\’ First Bean-to-Bar Factory! Our cacao expert will lead you through an intimate discussion and experience of ChocoVivo\’s home base and cafe, and teach you about the origins and history of chocolate. We will share how we stone-grind our single-origin organic cacao and the benefits of eating and drinking chocolate.

Enjoy a tasting of 7 different chocolates from any of these bars, paired with one full size choice chocolate drink (less the Frozen Hot Chocolate). All drinks are customizable with your type of chocolate and dairy and non-dairy milk options.

The tasting will take place in our meditation space at our shop in Culver City, a short distance from the beach and beautiful Westside Los Angeles. Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and step into the oasis of ChocoVivo to celebrate yourself, cacao and inner peace.

Please Note: While the majority of our chocolate is now crafted near our cacao farm in Tabasco, Mexico, our Los Angeles facility still offers an immersive and delicious experience. You\’ll enjoy a generous tasting of our chocolate and gain a deeper understanding of the rich, authentic history of cacao and its cultural significance.
