I liked the variety of what we got to make, ie chocolate bar, mendicant and truffles. Sprite lemonade and water included. Got to have the juice of the cacao. Patricia was a great teacher, friendly, informative, knowledgeable and funny.

Full description

We are a true Belgian chocolate maker and we are certified by Belgian government. With us you will really make your own chocolates with a true artisan! Let's share our passion and learn a lot of things about Belgian chocolate from our plantations to our store in Brussels!

During the experience, you will make some mendiants, some truffles and also a personalized bar that you will be able to bring with you at the end of the workshop. It is a nice moment as well to share with our chocolate makers. They will explain you a lot of things about the cacao. You will be able to taste a cacao bean (super bitter!) and also the cacao liquor (no alcohol, just the cacao mass we use to make the chocolate).

The experience takes place in our brand-new training centre, a very well equipped 150m2 workshop where we can welcome up to 60 participants all together. Our workshop is fully air-conditioned, so it may be a bit cold during the activity. Please dress in accordance.

There is currently a high demand for our workshops so we are now running three sessions a day at 11AM, 2PM and 5PM. In our training centre, you will have to wear a hairnet. Water dispensers and disabled toilet are available.
