Tour Overview

Did you know Ghana is the world's second-largest producer of cocoa and ranks #1 in quality cocoa beans? But what truly makes Ghana's cocoa the best? Is it the rich, fertile soil? The centuries-old farming techniques? Or the unique fermentation and drying processes that bring out its world-class flavor? This practical educational farm-to-factory tour pulls back the curtain on the stories of Ghana's cocoa industry, from the rural farms where cocoa pods are carefully cultivated and harvested, to a chocolate factory where you'll step into the world of bean-to-bar chocolate making. More than just a sweet treat, the project you'll visit is an impact-driven social initiative, empowering local communities and breaking the cycle of raw exports. You'll meet the faces behind the process - walk alongside cocoa farmers as they nurture cocoa trees with generations of expertise. Step inside the factory where skilled chocolatiers transform raw cocoa into Ghana's finest artisanal treats and make a stop at Ghana's most famous Aburi Botanical Gardens.
