At AFRIKOA’s Makers Landing store, an English-speaking chocolatier guides you through 12 steps of bean-to-bar production, from fermenting cacao to tempering finished chocolate. You’ll taste selected chocolates, learn about single-origin Tanzanian beans, and have time to browse gifts.
“I really enjoyed this learning experience! Thanks for all the information given about our beloved chocolate's journey.”
Meet at Makers Landing in Cape Town’s V&A Waterfront for a 25-minute tasting led by AFRIKOA Luxury Craft Chocolate. Learn how Tanzanian cacao becomes chocolate through roasting, grinding, refining, conching, and tempering, then sample several bars. Optional workshops and masterclasses offer a closer look at the craft.
“This is an explanation and chocolate tasting. It is very rushed - I wouldn’t recommend it. The staff are nice though.”
Join guide Tendai and Cape_Quad for a 40-minute private 4x4 ride across Atlantis Dunes. Expect fast dune bashing, sandboarding, wide desert views, and complimentary water. The R250 nature reserve permit is extra, so budget for it before arrival.
Pick a reserve, a coastline or a cellar.
