Graycliff Chocolatier Tour
A Sweet Escape in the Heart of Nassau
Tucked inside the historic Graycliff Hotel compound in downtown Nassau, the Graycliff Chocolatier Tour offers a rich and flavorful dive into one of the Bahamas’ most unexpected experiences: gourmet chocolate-making. Whether you’re a chocoholic or just looking for a unique and tasty activity, this tour is a delightful way to spend an afternoon in the capital.
History, Elegance, and Cocoa
The tour takes place within the iconic Graycliff Hotel grounds, a former pirate mansion turned five-star boutique hotel with an old-world charm. The chocolatier itself is nestled among tropical gardens and colonial architecture, setting the tone for a sophisticated yet approachable experience.
Graycliff Chocolatier is the first and only artisanal chocolate factory in the Bahamas. Using fresh ingredients and time-honored techniques, the team produces a wide range of hand-crafted chocolates inspired by local flavors like mango, key lime, and piña colada.
What to Expect from the Tour
The Graycliff Chocolatier Tour is a hands-on and interactive tour. Visitors are guided through the chocolate-making process—from cacao bean to beautifully wrapped bonbon.
Highlights include:
- Learning the Chocolate-Making Process: Understand how cacao is harvested, fermented, and transformed into silky-smooth chocolate bars and truffles.
- Interactive Stations: Try your hand at pouring chocolate, adding fillings, and designing your own edible creations.
- Tasting Time: Sample a variety of chocolates, from classic dark and milk chocolates to tropical-inspired flavors unique to the Bahamas.
- Create Your Own Treats: At the end of the tour, you’ll craft your own custom chocolates to take home (or eat right away).
Great for couples, families, or anyone craving a hands-on experience with a delicious reward.
