Description
Imagine tasting the bold, sun-ripened flavours of Barbados' tropical fruits and turning them into a refreshing sorbet. That’s exactly what awaits you at Cool Comfortz Frozen Delights!
Your host Leandra, a passionate Barbadian and self-taught sorbet maker, can’t wait to welcome you to her home. With her guidance, you’ll sample some of the island’s freshest local fruits, learn the stories behind them, and then roll up your sleeves to transform them into a delicious sorbet. But we’re not stopping there, you’ll also savour a curated selection of handcrafted fruit sorbets made by Cool Comfortz Frozen Delights bursting with Bajan flavours. Refreshing!
This isn’t just a class; it’s a fun, hands-on & immersive journey into the vibrant taste of Barbados! Beyond the flavours, this experience offers a rare chance to connect with a local, step into a real Bajan home, and gain insight into island life through fruit, stories, and warm hospitality.

Hear what a few of our recent participants said:
'Loved this experience. My only wish is that I had done this the first day in Barbados so I could have enjoyed my sorbet for longer. Getting able to taste so many different local fruits was incredible. Leandra was so welcoming and so knowledgeable. Highly recommend. Getting to take home a pint of sorbet that I had made was just incredible and made me think about the entire experience the rest of the trip.'- Molly S.
'If you want something educational tasty and hands on I would definitely suggest trying this activity. The host was so welcoming ! We learned about local Barbados fruits , hand made out fruit sorbets and even played a cool game with the host. Be prepared to take home so much sorbet but it is definitely tasty and worth it'- Michelle H.
'What a fun experience! We were really impressed with the host and her hospitality! This was the most delicious, high quality sorbet we’ve had! This will be a highlight of your time in Barbados! We will be bringing our kids back! Highly recommend!'- Ben C.
