Chocolate workshops in Brussels
Belgian chocolate making class and workshop
Meet Elisabetta, our chocolate maker, discover the wonders of Belgian chocolate and learn how to make these tasty Belgian chocolates with the youngest chocolate maker certified by Belgian Government. Patricia, our other certified chocolate maker, is also helping Elisabetta during very busy days especially during the week-ends. Her quirky sense of humor is particularly appreciated by the participants!
Our stores and workshops are located in the historical heart of Brussels, between Sablon and Place Royale.
Enjoy an approx. 1.5 hour workshop with the guidance of our chocolate makers and be prepared to make your own amazing handmade chocolates and to share good vibes with us!
There is currently a very high demand for our chocolate workshops. These last weeks we have welcomed an average of 700 participants every week! We sell the tickets for our chocolate workshops from different apps like GetYourGuide, TripAdvisor, Viator, AirBnb Experiences and Visit Brussels but it is always better to book directly from us to enjoy more availabilities and options, to better help financially our farmers and to be able to opt-in for our upgrade of refund policy.
We don’t look at ratings until somebody tells us...
Many of our participants book their tickets using the major travel applications. Unfortunately, when they use these applications they choose to give 30% of the price of the ticket to the big international companies like TripAdvisor or Airbnb rather than to help our farmers. This is the main reason why it is always better to book directly from our website.
Nevertheless, the good thing is that these several applications and websites let their users rating their experience with us.
Apparently, we are doing good! Our ratings seem to confirm that our visitors really enjoy our chocolate workshops!

From our booking desk, first, we will check your tickets. We will then provide you with a welcome pack and a wristband that will allow you then to access the activity.

If it is raining then we will provide you with an umbrella if you need.
We are now proposing our daily chocolate workshops from both our stores: the main one in Sablon and the second one in Place Royale. Both stores are very close to each other (650m), less than 10mns by walking. Depending on the number of participants, and to avoid a crowded activity, we frequently divide the group within these two places.

Brussels is the capitale of Belgian chocolate and we are the only certified handmade chocolate maker for the city of Brussels. You can check easily that information on the official website. Making our chocolate using our hands and in front of our clients really makes a difference! You can read more about what Brussels has to offer around Belgian chocolate using the Visit.Brussels website. Discover the activities around chocolate and also the best places where to buy chocolate according Visit.Brussels.

Let's make the magic starting!
We are not a so called chocolate museum or a tourist place like the numerous stores located near Grand Place where they only sell fake handcrafted Belgian chocolates. We are a true Belgian chocolate maker and we are certified by Belgian government. With us you will really learn to make your 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 workshop you will handcraft some truffles on your own, also some mendiants and a personalized chocolate bar using selected cacao coming from our organic plantations located in Haiti Grand Anse. Once known as the perl of the Antilles, Haiti was a great exporter of coffee, vanilla, cacao, sugar cane and essential oils. The 1994 trade embargo, war and insecurity reduced the agricultural industry. Our cooperative partners drives change thanks to the focus on quality cacao and farm diversification. Smallholder farmers in Grand Anse grow our cacao organically, and deliver their wet mass to the fermentation centre where a rigorous fermentation and drying is being done, resulting in a flavoursome cacao that you will be able to use during the workshop. Our farmers receive a premium for the quality they deliver. 33,9% of the price we receive from you for this experience is used to pay premiums to our farmers.
The experience begins with a warm welcome from your guides and a delicious cup of hot chocolate (or frozen chocolate during summer time). While you drink, listen to a short but fascinating introduction into the world of Belgian chocolate and learn a lot about the origins of our cacao.
After the intro, the real fun begins with a demonstration of chocolate tempering on a marble table. It’s then time to have a go yourself and make your own chocolate treats with the help of expert chocolatiers. Spend the hour making your very own personalized and tasty mendiants, truffles and chocolate bars.
Everything you make during the workshop will be wrapped up so that you can take it home.
You will bring with you everything you have done during the workshop so you will be able to share your chocolates with your family or friends. The chocolate workshop is the perfect moment as well to share and to discuss 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 (the mass we use to make the chocolate).
The experience takes place in our both locations depending the day, the time and how busy are our workshops. Both our places are very close to each other (10mns by walking):
Discover the wonders of Belgian chocolate and learn how to make amazing chocolates at one of the very rare chocolate artisans in Brussels. Enjoy a 1,5 hour workshop with the guidance of a true chocolate maker and have a go at making amazing handmade chocolates yourself.

Private and corporate events
We also organize private and corporate workshops every day.
If you’re looking for an alternative idea to the usual corporate team building activity, a fun way to celebrate a special occasion or an interactive and educational experience for your team, colleagues, partners… We can deliver it!
Meet Elisabetta, our chocolate maker, discover the wonders of Belgian chocolate and learn how to make these tasty treats with one of the very few real chocolate makers based in Brussels. She knows how to motivate your people to work together, to develop their strengths, and to address any weaknesses. Our chocolate workshops encourage collaboration rather than competition. For us, the importance of team building is to encourage teamwork among employees, by building connections and bonds between co-workers. Our corporate workshops also allow for an easier time to communicate among departments and teams.
Our corporate events are making your team even more special! That’s simple. A love of chocolate is something that brings everyone together and what we don’t know about chocolate, its origins, and its ability to unite an audience towards a common goal isn’t worth knowing! Combining an extensive background in chocolate making, marketing, product development and management, we’re passionate about using this “food from the gods” for events that are:
