Here at Menchaca Chocolates we'd like to think we are adventurers continuing to re-define an ancient Pod found 150 miles from the equator. So we decided that to truly understand this magical bean you have to experience it through all your senses: taste, touch, smell, cracking and visual transformation. We developed these Chocolate & Art Workshops to do just that. You will get to know the possibilities and have a chance to make a custom unique Chocolate product and if you choose, design a label or Box to package it in. You can also learn exactly how we make our chocolate in Mr. Menchaca's Micro- batch Chocolate Factory Tour!

Just got back from the chocolate-making workshop! 🍫

I took my girlfriend to Menchaca Chocolates in Santa Barbara for the make-your-own chocolate bars workshop, and wow, it was amazing! We got to choose from 40 different toppings, and the dark chocolate was so rich. Plus, we designed our own boxes! It was the perfect romantic gift. I highly recommend it for anyone who loves chocolate or artsy activities!

Planning to gift a chocolate workshop—any tips?

I’m looking to get my sister a chocolate-making experience at Menchaca Chocolates. She loves baking and chocolate but is a total newbie. Is this workshop suitable for her? What should she wear? I want it to be a special experience!
