I did not do a tour but I did walk around the factory area, which is pretty small, and i checked out the backyard area to look at some gorgeous Cacao pods and shrubbery. I didn t buy enough chocolate to take home and I am regretting it. Buy in bulk (the large blocks are well priced), you won t regret it. The tiny cafe inside was shut down also, so I just really sampled everything.

Nothing special and chocolate isn't as good as the other popular one... And it is closed for covid but they told me on the phone it was open (so they could sell me their chocolate) so we drove an hour to see the shop..... Still giving 5 stars because I am a nice guy. It is in a beautiful area and I imagine if it is actually open it would be a very nice tour.

We were herded into the shop to buy and kept there for 45 minutes, then kept waiting outside for a further 45 minutes before a cursory tour which was done back to front and missed a lot out. Don't bother and spend the time on the beach or on another trip instead. The nutmeg factory on the sane tour was brilliant.

Locally made chocolate. You get a taste of what the Caribbean is really about, known for its uniqueness.
Tourist from all over usually come to the area to sample or purchase our delicious chocolate.

We visited Jouvay chocolate as part of a tour. It was incredibly interesting and informative. Having done other chocolate tours, this one includes much more of the processing, while others have focused more on growing and harvesting.

Interesting and well explained experience. A choclate factory where you can see the whole process from growing the beans, walking the beans to manufacturing the choclate bar is not very often to be found. And the choclate tastes fine.

One of my favorite destinations. Our tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the entire process. Excellent chocolate - I bought quite a bit to take home. I also appreciated that there was not a fee for the tour.

As many others, we visited Diamond Chocolate Factory as part of the island tour. It is real eye opener on how chocolate is made and how it acquires it's taste. The only downside - now I am hooked up on 100% grenadian chocolate and there is no substitute. Well have to go back to fulfil the urge.

Production of chocolate Jouvay, one of the best on the island. Guided tour (free) very nice, then chocolate tasting.
At the bar, I advise you to taste the chocolate smoothie, it is to fall! We want more!

Well worth seeing, cocoa cultivation and processing all in an intact nature which totally thrilled. Other things can be found on the farm and its tropical gardens. For example, nutmeg and vanilla and many other fruits

Free samples to try out, if planning a visit make sure you go Mon-thurday that way you get to see the production going on, as production does not take place on Friday, sat and Sunday, but you still get a tour of the facility.

The tour is free. The tour guide we had was excellent and was very welcoming. The chocolate is AMAZING and I recommend the 60% nutmeg chocolate. The whole chocolate making process is intriguing and learning how the cocoa goes from pod to finished product was a nice learning experience. Give this place a visit!
