Wild Kauai Chocolate School
An adventure. A retreat. A career.
Join us for 4 days of hands on fun (9-4pm, Tues-Fri) as you study, taste and MAKE bean to bar chocolate daily in our active chocolate kitchen.
Whether you’re interested in the business, or just simply a Chocoholic, you’ll get the skinny on origins, history, tasting, and practical application.
Just really love chocolate and want to learn as a hobby? That works too. Passion is a prerequisite, but no previous experience is necessary.
OPEN DATES & COST
$795 per per program cost includes all materials and curriculum (and plenty of chocolate tasting)! Please send an email to Lance at wildkauaichocolate@gmail.com with possible dates you would like to attend school and a little information about yourself.
