From Cocoa Bean to Chocolate bar with Horizon Yacht Charters

PR Log (Press Release) – Sep 17, 2009 – Horizon Yacht Charters (Grenada) is pleased to announce a partnership with the award-winning Grenada Chocolate Company and Belmont Estate to offer day tours to this wonderful location in the beautiful north of the island.

If you find yourself dreaming of chocolate and any excuse to buy some will do and you love sailing in the worlds most beautiful cruising grounds then you are a prime candidate for the Chocolate Tour offered by Horizon Yacht Charters Grenada! The estate tours are for all ages and take place throughout the year in all weather conditions, usually sunny but nothing should stop you eating chocolate.

Start the tour from Horizon Yacht Charters base at True Blue and stop to marvel at the lush rain forest at Grand Etang National Park 1,900ft up. Another 30 minutes brings you to the 17th century plantation of Belmont Estate where organic cocoa continues to be grown, harvested and processed in time honored fashion.  The tour will take you through cocoa processing including ‘cocoa walking’ and inside the cocoa fermentation plant where demonstrations and delicious chocolate tastings are held. The tour continues around the estate and includes Grenada’s only goat dairy, goat cheese tasting, a craft market and workshop and a visit to the heritage museum. Belmont Estate’s delicious Creole restaurant offers an authentic Grenadian lunch made from local ingredients mostly grown on the estate.

Horizon Yacht Charters clients are offered an exclusive discount of 25% off EC$10 per person tour price and 10% off meals at the Creole Restaurant on Belmont Estate. Taxi tours start at US$25 per hour (up to 6 - 8 passenger capacity) which Horizon can arrange for you. Charter rates for 7 nights range from US$1995.00 to US$6495.00 depending on the size of the yacht and time of year. For a group of 4, this could mean as little as US$41 per person per night.
