Our staff are genuine artisan chocolate makers, certified by the Federal Belgian Government.
In our boutiques, you can discover everything our chocolatiers create by hand, a showcase of creativity, craftsmanship, and passion.
We are the only certified artisan chocolate maker in the city of Brussels, and the only one not using industrial chocolate in our workshops. All the chocolate you’ll work with is crafted from premium cacao, fully traceable, and sourced through a 100% ethical and sustainable supply chain, meaning no deforestation, no child labor, and fair income for farmers.
In fact, 33% of the ticket price you pay for the workshop goes directly to support cacao farmers, ensuring them a decent and dignified living.

What To Expect
We are true Belgian chocolate makers, certified by the Belgian government. With us, you’ll really make your own chocolates being guided by a genuine and certified artisan! Let’s share our passion and explore the fascinating journey of Belgian chocolate, from our cacao plantations to our stores in Brussels. During the workshop, you’ll create your own mendiants, truffles, and a personalized chocolate bar and at the end, you’ll pack all your creations in a beautiful gift box to take home. You’ll also learn a lot about cacao: taste a raw cacao bean (super bitter!) and try pure cacao liquor, the natural paste we use to make our chocolate (no alcohol, just cacao!). The experience takes place in our brand-new 170 m² training centre, a fully equipped, air-conditioned workshop where we can welcome up to 60 participants. It can feel a bit cool inside, so we recommend dressing accordingly. Due to high demand, we currently run three sessions per day at 11 AM, 2 PM, and 5 PM. A hairnet is provided and must be worn during the workshop. Water dispensers and a disabled-access toilet are available on site.

Great class with great information and instructions

5.00The instructor was very clear with her instructions and great with the kids in the class. The class was very informative. During the instructions and lessons, we got a sample of the cacao fruit, cacao nibs, and various chocolate types. The chocolate making portion of the class was also very instructive. My partner and I highly recommend this class.

5.00We had Elisabetta. She was so very detailed! One thing I will say that holds true like other reviews is that there is no ruby chocolate samples or on how it’s made and there is walking to the lab part (it has stairs, so might need to contact about accessibility). We had so much fun! It’s very good quality and very informative. Definitely a good activity
Not what I expected

3.00I thought I was going to be actually making the chocolate but instead you are learning about how it is made and the instructor takes the already made chocolate and puts it in a paper funnel and you get to squeeze it out into a mold and add your choice of toppings to the chocolate. Then you do the same thing but without a mold and are able to make the chocolate into any shape you would like, and then they give you 5 already made truffles and let you dip it into chocolate and rope them into either coconut or chocolate powder. The instructor was really nice and answered all our questions. I was a little underwhelmed with the whole process and was hoping we would actually get to do more of the making process. They said it would be 90 Min and we finished in about 75 min but we did have a small group. The chocolate was very tasty and I’m sure I will enjoy it, but I don’t think it was worth the $85 I had to pay.

5.00Educational, tasty and fun hands-on chocolate experience. Instructor Patricia walked us through tasting various types of raw cacao and chocolate before having us make three types of treats for takeaway. The class was well-organized and we have so much good chocolate to eat now!

You taste, you create, you laugh, and you walk out with chocolates that look boutique‑level. For a Christmas experience that’s delicious, creative, and unforgettable, this one absolutely delivers.
