Overview

Here at Menchaca Chocolates we'd like to think we are adventurers continuing to re-define an ancient Pod found 150 miles from the equator. So we decided that to truly understand this magical bean you have to experience it through all your senses: taste, touch, smell, cracking and visual transformation. We developed these Chocolate & Art Workshops to do just that. You will get to know the possibilities and have a chance to make a custom unique Chocolate product and if you choose, design a label or Box to package it in. You can also learn exactly how we make our chocolate in Mr. Menchaca's Micro- batch Chocolate Factory Tour!

Itinerary

You will be given everything you need to make a 14oz tray of your own custom designed Chocolate Bark. You will take it home, wrapped and sealed in a wooden tray and little wooden hammer to break apart at home or a Dinner Party. There is nothing more special then to say "I made this!" We make the finest chocolate using the highest quality ingrediencies and our beans are ethically sourced. We have 60% dark or 40% milk (oat milk) dairy/gluten/soy free, VEGAN craft chocolate. You will be handed a Tile of your choice of freshly poured fluid chocolate where you can begin designing your own flavor choosing from many inclusions such as: nuts, dried fruits, seasonings and salts. You can get creative and make a symmetrical design, landscape, or even a face using candied ginger, blueberry and pretzel sticks for example! The Chocolate making is in our Factory...so you will be able to catch one of our Menchaca's Micro Batch Craft Chocolate Factory Tours. A great activity for multi age groups or a romantic night out with a special someone. BYOB + glasses and opener if you like. Large parties please book in advance and call first.

Fun 1-1.5 hour activity for family or date

Published on Jan, 2025

My family and I had a great time decorating boxes and a bar of chocolate. Had a great time! Would be a cute place for a date too.

So much fun!!!

Published on Jan, 2025

This was so much fun. However, there wasn’t a tour. But rather, adding inclusions(dried fruit, nuts, pretzels, cookies, and a variety of salts and spices) to freshly poured chocolate. And all three of their varieties were delicious. Even the dark chocolate which is typically a bit bitter for me. Theirs was perfect. And the strawberry white chocolate was my favorite. We were able to decorate a box to keep our chocolate in. So much fun. My teens were very much engaged. This made my birthday weekend. Oh and the family loved their hot chocolate too.

Wonderful way to wrap up our vacation!

Published on Jan, 2025

For reasons that I didn't completely anticipate, this ended up being a wonderful way to wrap up our trip to the Santa Barbara area. The making of the chocolate bark/bars was a fine but small part of this experience (it took probably 4 minutes in total to choose and place my desired toppings on my four bars of melted chocolate). Since this is a small chocolate-making establishment, there is no "tour" per se. The fun part for our family was spending well over an hour decorating our various wooden chocolate boxes (the melted chocolate cools inside while you decorate your box outside). The art supplies were amazing - and inspired significant creativity from my family members (three adult children ages 22, 24, and 26, my husband, and me). Ink pads/stamps, paint markers, ink markers, stencils, etc. provided a ton of options to personalize each person's box. There are multiple high-top tables outside in front of the shop (in the shade) and you have all the time you need to decorate to your heart's content. Customers of all ages were clearly having fun working on their boxes - it was endearing to see everyone so engaged in creating their own little masterpieces! We are enjoying the chocolate and I love that the boxes will serve as a lasting reminder of our wonderful vacation!

Do It !

Published on Dec, 2024

This was a delight. I let out my creative outlet creating a box, added fruit to my dark chocolate, and am proud of how it all turned out. I would highly recommend this and hope to encourage our chocolate maker in my town to do this too!

Great time!

Published on Nov, 2024

We had so much fun. The chocolate and the mix ins were great and the owners were very friendly! We will be doing this again.
