Bali, often revered as the "Island of the Gods," is famed for its breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural tapestry. While its beaches and the serene ambience of Ubud are well-loved by many, there's still so much more to discover. Step into a chocophile's dream at the Coklat Village nestled in Tabanan Regency.
Though Bali isn't the largest cocoa producer, its cocoa beans are of noteworthy quality. In skilled hands, these beans transform into an array of delightful and distinctive products.
If the thinking about chocolate already makes your heart flutter, the Chocolate Village promises a slice of heaven. Immerse yourself in the world of cocoa and don't miss the chance to pick up some decadent souvenirs.
Intrigued by this blend of agriculture and education? Let's dive deeper into the Chocolate Village of Bali!
Situated at Jl. Raya Marga - Apuan, Cau Hamlet, Petiga Old Village, Br. Semingan, in the Marga District of Tabanan Regency, the Chocolate Village is conveniently located for travelers.
If you're planning visits to the iconic Ulun Danu Beratan Temple, the picturesque Leke-leke Waterfall, Bali Waterfall Park, or the lively Sangeh Monkey Forest, the Chocolate Village makes for a perfect addition to your itinerary.
For those staying in popular tourist hubs like Kuta or Seminyak, a drive to the Coklat Village usually takes about 1 to 1.5 hours. Its prime location right off the main road ensures easy accessibility, so you won't miss it.
Visitors have a variety of tour packages to choose from at the Chocolate Village. For those short on time, there's a quick tour available starting at IDR 100 thousand. For a comprehensive experience, consider the full package priced at IDR 500 thousand.
This includes an informative session on the chocolate plantation, a hands-on chocolate-making workshop, and a delightful tasting of assorted chocolate creations.

Guided by knowledgeable staff, you'll tour the cocoa plantation and even try your hand at opening a cocoa fruit, notorious for its thick skin. For a touch of creativity, participate in the chocolate molding program.
Craft your own chocolate creation and take it home as a special memento. The other one is the Be Balinese' Experience: This immersive program offers a genuine peek into the daily lives of the local Balinese, particularly the cocoa farmers.
Not only will you learn about their farming techniques, but you'll also get a taste of the rich Balinese culture. Learn the graceful movements of Balinese dance and craft 'canang' – traditional baskets filled with flowers, typically used for offerings.
At the Chocolate Village, the cocoa experience isn't just about seeing – it's also about tasting. While the beautifully packaged chocolate bars make for perfect souvenirs, the in-house restaurant elevates your cocoa journey to a gastronomic adventure.
Try the Raw Cacao Ice Cream. This refreshing menu is served in a cocoa shell, this delightful treat comes with chocolate bars and luscious chocolate fruit nestled inside.
Another one you must try is the Fruity Cacao Pizza. This sweet pizza is topped with slices of banana, creamy mozzarella cheese, and crunchy almonds. This dessert pizza masterfully combines sweetness with the rich bitterness inherent to pure chocolate.
