Belmont Estate
A 17th-century plantation in the north where you can watch cocoa being fermented and dried, then taste estate-made chocolate and Grenadian home cooking.
Belmont Estate lies in St. Patrick Parish. It has been in operation for more than 300 years and is now an organic cocoa and spice farm. Guided tours explain the entire process, from cocoa pods to fermentation, drying on rolling trays, and finally chocolate. The estate has a small heritage museum, a goat cheese farm and a chocolate shop. The restaurant serves a buffet-style Creole lunch. Tours last about 45 minutes and carry a fee, and lunch should be booked in advance. The estate is about an hour’s drive from St. George’s and is often combined with a visit to River Antoine Rum Distillery and Leapers’ Hill.
