Making chocolate was a fun experience! Our instructor and the employees were very knowledgeable, friendly, and welcoming! Would definitely book again!

Fun experience to do with any number of people. The staff and owners were gracious and welcoming. Art class meet chocolate making...

Unique tea ceremony. Time to center and begin procces of self exploration. This is a calming experience.

I had the honor of attending a ceremony at Drishti House, and it was such a beautiful experience. The space feels incredibly special—the people, the garden, the quiet—you can really feel the love and integrity that’s been put into it.It was my first ceremony, and I felt so at ease. It was calming, comfortable, and gently informative, and it created a space where I could truly settle into a peaceful, serene meditation.Drishti House feels like more than just something you attend—it stays with you. I’m so grateful I got to experience it and would absolutely return.

Loved that we got to choose what type of chocolate we each wanted our chocolate bars to be. Also loved that we had a wide range of toppings to choose from. And the unexpected surprise was that we each got to paint and decorate our own box to store our chocolate bats in! My 11 yr old granddaughter thought this was the best activity on our vacation!

A unique and fun experience—both creating the chocolate bars and decorating the box. I look forward to sampling my chocolate creations.

What a lovely, intimate, off-the-beaten-path experience in Montecito / Santa Barbara. From the moment you arrive, walking through the garden alone feels magical. You’re then welcomed into a stunning stone teahouse, where every detail—from the earthenware used in the ceremony to the setting itself—feels like a work of art.Taking your seat marks the beginning of a truly immersive journey. Learning the history was both engaging and fun, and I especially appreciated the meditation woven throughout the experience. By the fourth cup, I had completely melted away; by the fifth, I felt restored.I can’t wait to return.

We went on a day trip with a group of friends for a day of immersing into the Japanese tea culture and ceremonies. Drishti House was our first stop. It was an awesome experience at an amazing home in Santa Barbara.

Keep an open mind and embrace the experience. This event was beautiful and tranquil and overall we had a very pleasant time.

Fun, crafty event. Good time for couples. Small kids might struggle with the activity. A good way to spend a couple hours.

Great fun. Learned about chocolate

To quote my girlfriend, “better than See’s Candies.”.Very fun activity!m and delicious chocolate! Owners/Guides are very helpful, kind, and friendly!

A very fun and creative process. My husband and I celebrated our 1st wedding anniversary here before continuing up to Yosemite. All staff were very friendly and polite. Easily recommend.

This place is so much fun. People are nice, helpful and fun. I would recommend it to any group of people.

This was an amazing family activity along our California road trip! The owners were adorable, and so wonderful to chat with. We had fun painting our boxes with the variety of art supplies, and had fun tasting and making the chocolate bars. It was a memory we will all cherish, and one of our highlights along our Spring Break Road Trip! Please go if you’re in the area, we left with smiles on our face and hearts full!

Highly recommend this experience! Went with my husband for our anniversary and we had such a great time creating our signature chocolate bars and creating our own wrapper designs. This is a warm, personal and great thing to do with a fantastic local business. Don’t miss buying some chocolate covered mangos while you’re there!
