Côte d'Ivoire is the world's largest cocoa producer. Yet, few people have ever held a cocoa bean in their hands, smelled its raw aroma, or understood the journey it goes through before becoming chocolate. This experience is exactly what Sankofa Road offers you in Grand-Bassam.
Over the course of 2 hours, you'll delve into one of the country's most iconic industries, from the plantation to the tasting table.

Cocoa plantation walk
The journey of discovery begins among the trees. Guided by a local expert, you'll walk through the plantation, learn to recognize the cocoa pod, and understand the stages of cultivation and harvesting.

Making your own chocolate
After the plantation, it's time for the workshop. You'll take the reins—roasting, grinding, and blending—to create your own bar of artisanal chocolate from start to finish. It's a fun, surprising, and delicious experience to enjoy on your own, as a couple, or with your family.

Tasting
Saving the best for last. Taste what you've created and take your creation home with you as an edible souvenir that's 100% made by you.

This experience is perfect for the curious, food lovers, families, and anyone who wants to understand where chocolate really comes from.
