The Villa Vanilla tour was spot on — informative, enjoyable and a real introduction to how spices are grown in an organic setting. The first part of the tour took place near the warehouse and the in the chocolate room where cocoa beans are processed. A walking tour of the area where vanilla beans are gown on vines (vanilla is an orchids ) and where pepper trees and cocoa also is grown followed. We ended at a pavilion overlook where we ate delicious treats, vanilla ice cream, cinnamon pana cotta, Our guide Giusele was amazing. All in all, I recommend this highly for almost everyone, although smaller children might be bored. Also, I will never wonder why spices like vanilla are so expensive. The labor that goes into producing them is intensive.
