Bois Cotlette Estate is a fully sustainable French colonial maison and organic farming estate offering Heritage and Chocolate Tours to visitors. For over 290 years, the fertile volcanic soil of Bois Cotlette has produced cocoa, coffee, and sugar cane, and it is Dominica’s oldest estate. The maison has been completely restored, and the estate’s 53 acres are a model of self-sufficiency. All food, water, and power is produced sustainably. Heritage tours of the grounds include Dominica’s only windmill, an herb garden with medicinal and cooking herbs, and current archaeological excavations. Chocolate tours take visitors through cocoa processing from pod to candy. Both tours are 2 hours in duration and include tastings.
