Go beyond ordinary chocolate workshops and immerse yourself in the authentic world of Belgian chocolate making. Led by certified artisan chocolatiers, officially recognized by the Belgian Federal Government, this is a rare opportunity to discover how chocolate is truly crafted from bean to bar.
Unlike most chocolate workshops, where participants simply melt ready-made industrial chocolate, you'll step inside a real bean-to-bar chocolate factory. We are the only ones in Brussels who transform cacao beans into chocolate. Chocolate making is our profession, not just our demonstration.
During this immersive 90-minute experience, you'll create your own delicious chocolates: elegant mendiants, silky handmade truffles and a personalized chocolate bar, beautifully packaged to take home.
Your journey begins at the cacao plantation: You will taste ingredients that very few people ever experience: fresh cacao pulp with its surprising tropical fruit notes, raw cacao beans, pure cacao mass and several single-origin chocolates that reveal the unique personality of their origins.
The workshop takes place in our modern Chocolate Academy in the heart of Brussels and is conducted in English.

Excellent Choice!

If you are looking for an incredibly fun experience where you also learn about the history and process of chocolate making, this is the workshop for you. Our teacher, Patricia, was extremely informative about each step as we created both milk and dark chocolate delicacies. She guided us with clear directions and a wonderful sense of humor. The protocols for cleanliness and safety were an important part of the experience. We each walked away with a scrumptious box of chocolates which we made ourselves and great memories to treasure from our trip.
Response from the operator · Wander15383486473 Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re so happy you had such a great time with Patricia and enjoyed discovering how chocolate is made. We love that you went home not only with a box full of your own chocolates, but also with some great memories from Brussels. We hope to see you again one day! 🍫❤️
