Orlando: Chocolate Kingdom Factory Tour & Hands-On Bar

Summary

Chocolate tour orlando with tasting and custom bar making

You’ll taste fresh chocolate at every step as you follow a local guide through Orlando’s Chocolate Kingdom — from greenhouse cacao pods to old-world machines and a flowing river of chocolate. Try making your own custom bar (optional) and leave with sticky hands and new cravings.

What’s the experience like?

“Try this one,” our guide said, holding out a tiny spoon of melted chocolate. I wasn’t expecting to start the Chocolate Kingdom Factory Adventure Tour in Orlando by licking chocolate off a plastic spoon, but honestly? Not complaining. The air inside smelled like brownies straight from the oven — it clung to my sweater. There were kids in our group who kept pointing at the Prince and his dragon sidekick (yes, there’s a whole story), but I was mostly just trying not to drool on myself.

We wandered through the cacao greenhouse — it’s warm and humid in there, almost jungle-like, and you can actually see real cacao pods hanging above your head. Our guide (I think her name was Maria?) explained how the beans get roasted and ground using these old machines that made a steady clanking sound. She let us touch some of the raw beans. They’re rougher than I thought, kind of chalky. At one point she asked if anyone wanted to try saying “Theobroma cacao” out loud; Li laughed when I tried to say it in Mandarin — probably butchered it.

The best part for me was watching the river of chocolate flow under glass — it’s mesmerizing, like lava but edible. You get little samples along the way (the dark one is pretty intense). And then you can make your own chocolate bar at the end if you want, which is extra but worth it just for the messiness and bragging rights. I still think about how my hands smelled like cocoa butter all afternoon. We left with sticky fingers and a bag full of chocolate that didn’t last long once we got back to our hotel.
