Review Body: We had the best day at Balava. There’s a large field behind the main shop, so the kids played soccer all afternoon before we did the chocolate making workshop. The chocolate making was so much fun, our guide made the presentation very interactive. We crushed cocoa beans into powder then add cocoa butter and sugar before melting and putting the chocolate into molds. So fun. All staff were really kind and even called a taxi for us when we were ready to leave, as we were unable to get a grab from Balava.

Review Body: We had some food from the restaurant that was amazing also did the chocolate making workshop with Thao she was so friendly and helpful and was really interesting to learn more about the different types of coca beans and the process. The chocolate was some of the best I've ever had. They have loads of stuff to do at Balava and more in the works is definitely worth checking out and is a really good day out with beautiful scenery would highly recommend we'll definitely be returning

Maak kennis met je host

De heer Nguyen Cong Chinh groeide op in de bruisende stad Saigon, maar voelde zich aangetrokken tot de rustige schoonheid van Da Lat. In 2019 ontdekte hij tijdens een werkreis een serene vallei, omringd door weelderige dennenbossen. Gefascineerd door de ongerepte charme besloot hij er een bijzonder toevluchtsoord van te maken, waar bezoekers weer in contact kunnen komen met de natuur en hun balans kunnen vinden. Zo ontstond zijn winkel in 2023. Naast het creëren van een rustige plek om even weg te zijn, ondersteunt meneer Chinh ook de lokale gemeenschap door banen te bieden aan bewoners uit etnische minderheden in Lac Duong en sociale initiatieven te organiseren, zoals "Een maaltijd voor kinderen", waarmee warme maaltijden en cadeaus naar scholen in Lam Dong gaan die het moeilijk hebben.
