Private and corporate chocolate making class and workshop

Elisabetta Passafaro

Why a chocolate event for corporate event?

We can organize private or corporate workshops on request every day and at your convenient time. 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 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:

Exciting and inspiring
Engaging and interactive
Educational
Effective
Fun and tasty

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 definitively deliver it!

We welcome so many vibrant personalities every day!

We already run so many exciting workshops and chocolate making events, for many years, for well known businesses, small and medium local companies, non-profit making organizations, Embassies, local schools and universities, European institutions and even for many governmental institutions...

Recently we were pleased to welcome Michael M. Adler, the Ambassador of the United States to Belgium and his family in one of our chocolate workshops. They were protected by two police officers and everything was very well organized for the pleasure of all participants and staff. Possibilities are endless because we are very flexible.

We love running chocolate workshops and events and, for each of them, we run it with the same high standards of care, attention, and enthusiasm regardless of how large or small your group is! We know everyone is different and we never compromise our reputation for excellence.

We can welcome up to 52 participants using our both workshops.

We are located both in Sablon and Place Royale.

Choose our team building activity and engage your group in something fun, or for an entertaining business event, host a chocolate masterclass or science of chocolate workshop for a tasty treat. We’ve worked with a wide range of businesses across Europe to deliver chocolate themed corporate entertainment and events such as innovative, indoor team building activities to beat the Belgium weather. We’ve developed the many joys of chocolate making to ensure to provide engaging, interactive, and informative experiences that unite chocoholics and occasional dabblers alike.

During our workshops the participants are learning about our cacao origins, the way we are making chocolate and they also make their own chocolates: a personalized chocolate bar, some mendiants and some truffles. At the end of the workshop they will wrap everything in a box and bring all their creations at home.

What better way to entertain and bring people together than chocolate?

Our corporate events can be adapted to suit your specific business needs and, currently, we can host groups of a maximum of 52 participants divided in two different workshops, one in Sablon (28 participants) and the other in Place Royale (24 participants).

Both our places are very close to each other (+/- 10mns by walking):

The meeting point is our booking desk located Place de la Justice 5.
We offer 1 hour of free parking to all our clients in our car park partners (Interparking, Q-Park, Indigo).
The nearest car park is Interparking Albertine, Place de la Justice 16.

Our different corporate and private chocolate workshops

Chocolate masterclass (1.5 hours, 2 or 3 hours)

How it works and what’s involved?

A chocolate making class or a chocolate masterclass as we prefer to call it, is an exciting way to engage with your clients, staff, colleagues, or friends. They’re fun, creative, exciting, and importantly the result is deliciously edible! How often do you come across that?

Interactive chocolate entertainment at its very best.

In a chocolate masterclass, guests will learn about and make all sorts of different chocolates, using an array of other yummy ingredients and toppings under the guidance of a professional chocolatier. At the end of the workshop guests will package up their artisan chocolates to take home, assuming their creations get that far! It’s a fabulous practical chocolate making experience, suitable for group up to 52 participants (28 at our Sablon workshop + 24 at our Place Royale workshop).

A chocolate masterclass can be used as break-out entertainment to lighten a corporate conference, as part of a networking session, or implemented into an away day. They can also be run as a stand-alone event, perhaps as a classy and interesting “thank you” to clients or staff.

Working individually, but in small sociable groups, guests will:

Learn a little about chocolate (this is important for what follows!)
Taste a selection of chocolate
Learn how to make chocolates, then make some molded ones
Decorate and flavor their own chocolate bars with dry fruits and toppings
Make amazing Belgian mendiants and traditional hand-rolled chocolate truffles
Make Belgian pralines (only if you select the Masterclass 2 hours)
Package their chocolates up in bags or boxes to take home

If you’re seeking a practical, engaging, and professional corporate entertainment idea that can be run at our location, a masterclass would be perfect and a great booster for your team. Our chocolate making masterclass is suitable for any level of ability, they are entertaining and professionally run.

Chocolate challenge (4 hours)

How it works and what’s involved?

Imagine a room full of people, split into teams. Some work side-by-side every day, but some don’t. Several don’t even want to even be there. A few are excited, others aren’t bothered either way. A few people feel a challenge waiting to be happen, while others simply look forward to the next coffee break…

And then, the teams are informed that they are participating in a dynamic team building event and they have 2 hours all together to create and make a new chocolate product, design rough packaging ideas for it, draft a sales and marketing plan and then present their great idea. Sounds easy? It’s not and only one team will win the pitch, so the pressure is on from the get-go.

This highly creative, competitive, and fun corporate team building event will engage your staff across a wide area of chocolate-making activities from initial product development to a sales and marketing plan, through to a final presentation where the teams need to “sell” their ideas hard! A relatively safe harbor for those capable and wanting to show their true capabilities and ambitions, and a fool’s stage for anyone who only thinks they’ve got what it takes to make amazing chocolates!

Our chocolate challenge is fun, dynamic, competitive, and fast paced and it has business value. It delivers more than just a good afternoon, and here’s why… A successful team is like a recipe; it’s made up of a mix of individual ingredients, all great individually, but much better when carefully blended all together:

Communication
Trust
Leadership
Motivation
Creativity
Fulfilment
Tangible results

Elisabetta, our chocolate maker, imagined and created this chocolate challenge event. She designed and structured the event to tease out some of these traits allowing individuals to naturally find and develop their role in the working business environment.

The Belgian Chocolate Makers

Working in small teams of 3-5, these groups will be briefed on the challenge they face with a hard copy. The theme that the teams follow when creating their unique chocolate creation can be linked to the values of the business or another important business matter e.g. business strengths, issues, opportunities or threats.

They will spend about 1 hour 30 minutes formulating a plan, organizing themselves into an effective group, making their chocolate creation, plus a further 30 minutes to finalize things and refine their sales pitch. They will receive the assistance of our chocolate makers during the whole length of the challenge. They will be able to access and use our delicious dark, milk or white Belgian chocolate and a huge collection of chocolate molds, packaging materials, different ingredients for inclusions and toppings, natural colorants, edible sprays and icing pens for detailed work.

They will present their new product to a group of judges, with the winners receiving a company branded quirky CHOCOLATE CHALLENGE WINNER badge and certificate. Throughout the whole session we will advise, guide, assist and prepare everything needed by the teams, even if it is sometimes at the limits of our own creative ability! Our chocolate making masterclass is suitable for any level of ability, they are entertaining and professionally run.

Complete your chocolate workshop with a bit of work.

Use our board room when you need to work before or after the workshop.

Sometimes your team needs to meet before or after the workshop to discuss current affairs, new perspectives or simply to receive awards. Ideas can be spontaneous but sharing them can’t be improvised. Most important thing? It is to provide your audience with the best possible listening conditions so let's use our board room.

Our meeting room is the good old-fashioned board room par excellence! A cocoon equipped with a private minibar, the comfort of great chairs and the elegance of a 4-meter long table.

You can then meet in a dedicated space: our board room can welcome up to 12 guests.

A successful meeting requires more than a great room and a good coffee. Leave nothing to chance and boost your meetings with a great chocolate workshop!

A belgian chocolate workshop is better with an Italian meal!

We also propose an original catering solution.

You cannot ignore that Elisabetta, our master chocolate maker, is an Italian girl from South Italy.
As an option, we also propose a true Italian moment cooked by Elisabetta!

Cooking has always been her passion. When she was a little girl she loved to cook, spending hours in the kitchen with her mother, making a mess but learning delicious traditional Italian recipes, using authentic, seasonal, fresh ingredients and preparing everything from scratch. Today, she is still that same little girl playing in the kitchen; she likes to experiment with different tastes and textures, tingeing from the Italian culinary culture to create her own personal recipes. However, she tries to remain faithful to the authentic Italian traditions, flavors, and ingredients. In Italy they say that “A tavola non si invecchia” (one does not grow old at the table); the pleasure of good food, wine, and company is such that the passage of time is suspended.

Our italian catering option includes: focaccia, lasagna, pizza, tiramisu or sorbet.

Price per participant: 25 euros excl. VAT
