Overview

Chocolate and wine are both shaped by fermentation and place. This guided tasting brings their stories together in a surprising way.

Taste three South American wines alongside artisanal tree-to-bar chocolates. Discover how each wine changes what you notice in the chocolate. Fruit, spice and earthy notes emerge, disappear and sometimes become something completely unexpected.

There is a story behind the pairing, too. Cacao is native to the Amazon. Wine arrived in Latin America from Europe. Today, both are grown and transformed across the continent.

At Cacao Huasi, we bring them together for an interesting and delicious conversation. Enjoy the tasting overlooking the Caribbean, with plenty of time to taste, talk and compare.

It is a unique Puerto Viejo experience for couples, date nights, celebrations and curious food lovers.

What Makes This Experience Special

We work with small-batch chocolate that highlights the diversity of cacao and the craft behind tree-to-bar production.

Wine and chocolate have more in common than you might expect. Both begin as fruit, rely on fermentation, and express the place where they are grown. Together, they can reveal surprising notes of fruit, flowers, spice, creaminess and depth.
