Want to learn how chocolate is made — or make it yourself? Kasama Chocolate runs tastings, tours and hands-on bean-to-bar workshops at our working chocolate factory and shop on Granville Island in Vancouver.

Book now: Chocolate Tour & Tasting

Our most popular experience runs most Sunday mornings at 10am: a 40–50 minute guided chocolate tour and tasting inside the workshop where every bar is made. See and smell raw and roasted cacao from different origins, learn how beans become bars, sip drinking chocolate, and taste award-winning chocolate. Groups are capped at 10 people — book your spot here.

Hands-on chocolate making workshops

Kasama regularly holds full chocolate making classes, where we walk you through the entire bean-to-bar process — from sourcing cacao beans to roasting, winnowing, conching, tempering, and molding chocolate. A general outline of what we cover:

• A history of cacao, with tastings of cacao juice or hot chocolate
• Sampling many different origins of cacao beans and chocolate
• Making chocolate from scratch, the old-fashioned way
• Tempering: everyone gets to make their own bars or mendiants
• Leaving with a good understanding of how chocolate is made — and the knowledge to make it at home
• Going home with a whole lot of chocolate!

We currently do not have any full workshops scheduled. Join our mailing list to be first to hear when new dates open up — or book the Sunday tour & tasting in the meantime.

Private tastings & team events

From January through August we host private group tastings — a fun option for birthdays, visiting friends and family, and team outings. Email hello@kasamachocolate.com to arrange one. (Private events pause September–December during our peak production season.)
