Jade and Valter made this experience amazing! They are both very knowledgeable about the process and explain everything well. It was such a cool experience and I would absolutely do it again! It is in a small room so it felt more intimate, which I did like!

This was such a unique and fun experience and would definitely recommend it! We were picked up right by Basel SBB and driven to the bakery. At the bakery, Valter and Jade were excellent and taught us so much. We got to learn about the chocolate-making process and then got to make our own truffles and chocolate bars. We finished off the workshop by being dropped off at their store and had the option to buy some delicious truffles and cheese.
