Description
On the scenic Pointe Baptiste Estate near Calibishie, Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Factory is a small family-owned chocolate producer dedicated to creating handcrafted chocolate using locally grown Dominican cacao. The factory follows a bean-to-bar process, working closely with local farmers and sustainable practices to transform raw cacao into a wide variety of premium chocolate products. Visitors can experience the journey of chocolate making firsthand, from cacao bean to finished bar, while sampling unique flavours inspired by the island.

Why It Stands Out
Pointe Baptiste Chocolate Factory offers one of the few authentic bean-to-bar chocolate experiences in Dominica. Visitors not only enjoy handcrafted chocolate but also gain insight into the traditional chocolate-making process, local cacao cultivation, and the importance of supporting Dominican farmers and sustainable agriculture. Its intimate, family-run atmosphere creates a unique experience that blends culture, history, agriculture, and culinary craftsmanship.
Location & Accessibility
Situated just outside Calibishie on the northeast coast of Dominica, the factory is easily accessible to both residents and visitors exploring the island’s northern attractions. Its location within Pointe Baptiste Estate places it close to the famous Red Rocks, beaches, and coastal viewpoints, making it a popular stop for tourists and day-trippers. Being only a short drive from Calibishie and approximately 20 minutes from Douglas-Charles Airport allows visitors to conveniently combine a chocolate tour with other nearby experiences and attractions.
