On this tour, you'll embark on a scenic drive along Tobago’s Atlantic Coast to the charming village of Argyle, home to the renowned Tobago Cocoa Estate. Once at the estate, you’ll be guided through the 48 acres of gently sloping cocoa fields, where 11 different strains of the world-famous Trinitario cocoa beans are cultivated. You’ll get a firsthand look at the entire cocoa production process, from how the cocoa is grown and harvested, to how the beans are fermented and sun-dried—a crucial step in developing their rich flavor. The tour also highlights the estate’s unique connection to the international chocolate world, as the beans are exported to Master Chocolatier François Pralus in France, who transforms them into gourmet chocolate.
