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, also 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 training centre is located in the historical heart of Brussels, between Sablon and Grand' Place.
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 1.000 participants every week! We sell the tickets for our chocolate workshops from different apps like GetYourGuide or Viator 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 big international companies like TripAdvisor or GetYourGuide 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 pretty good! Our ratings seem to confirm that our visitors really enjoy our chocolate workshops!

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 the revenue given to our farmers.
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 brand new training centre of 150m2 fully equipped with Selmi machinery. Discover the wonders of Belgian chocolate and learn how to make amazing chocolates at one of the very rare certified handcraft chocolate makers in Brussels. Enjoy a 1,5 hour workshop with the guidance of a true and honest 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:
