1.5h Belgian Chocolate Workshop in Brussels (bean to bar)
Description
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. We are independent and proudly authentic, not part of any industrial group. During your visit, you’ll also have the opportunity to see our bean-to-bar machinery and receive explanations directly from our chocolate makers.

Fun! Very informative and well organized. The staff answered questions well and we got to make 3 kinds of treats which the send home with you in a perfectly designed box. I learned more in this workshop than in other cooking workshops in Brussels.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're especially pleased to hear that you learned more with us than in other workshops. That's exactly what we strive for. Our workshops are led by real bean-to-bar chocolatiers who make chocolate every day, not just presenters following a script. Sharing genuine craftsmanship, from cacao bean to finished chocolate, is at the heart of everything we do. We're delighted you enjoyed creating your own chocolates and taking them home in our signature box. We hope to welcome you back for another authentic chocolate experience! 🍫✨
Really good. Got to try very unique things like a real fresh cacoa bean fresh from the pod. Very informative. Good quality chocolate. Had a really good time.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted you enjoyed tasting a fresh cacao bean straight from the pod; it's a unique experience that connects everyone to the true origin of chocolate. You will never see that in the numerous fake chocolate makers around who actually propose on travel platforms like Viator some pretended bean-to-bar workshops... We're also glad you appreciated the quality of our bean-to-bar chocolate and had such a great time with us. We hope to welcome you back again soon! 🍫🌱
Patricia and Nathan took good care of explaining the various chocolates and conveyed their passion well plus the chocolate was yummy
Thank you so much for your kind review! We're delighted to hear that Patricia and Nathan shared their passion for bean-to-bar chocolate with you. Making chocolate is what we love, and it's always rewarding when our guests can feel that enthusiasm. We're also glad you enjoyed the chocolate so we hope to welcome you back for another delicious experience soon! 🍫😊
My daughter (10) and I had a fabulous experience! We learned about the chocolate making process and made truffles, bars, and some artistic creations. We even got to try some raw cacao. Its a great way to really immerse yourself in the Belgian chocolate experience!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your daughter had such a fabulous time with us. It’s always a pleasure to share the journey of chocolate, from raw cacao to finished creations, and we’re glad you enjoyed discovering the process together. Making truffles, bars, and your own artistic chocolate pieces is a fun way to experience Belgian chocolate firsthand, and it’s great to know that tasting the raw cacao added something special to the workshop. We hope the chocolates you created brought back sweet memories of your visit, and we’d love to welcome you both again for another chocolate adventure! Warm regards, The Team at The Belgian Chocolate Makers 🍫✨
The intake at the main location was not welcoming and then you do walk about 5 minutes to the classroom/kitchen. BUT Patricia gave a wonderfully informative presentation and we made lots of delicious chocolates! I went solo and felt welcome and included in our small group. Can’t wait to try my chocolates! Overall a really fun afternoon!
Thanks so much for your feedback! We're delighted to hear that Patricia made the experience informative, welcoming, and fun, and that you enjoyed creating so many delicious chocolates. We appreciate your note about the walk from reception to the classroom and will take that into consideration as we continue improving the visitor experience. It’s wonderful to know you felt included, even coming on your own, and we hope you enjoy every chocolate you made. We’d love to welcome you back for another chocolate-filled afternoon soon! 🍫😊
it was fun although a bit like being in school...but I found interesting. We made a chocolate bar with adornments ,smaller dark choc shapes and dipped truffles. I would have liked to learn how to make the actual truffle but I guess there was not enough time...Some time was wasted travelling from the meeting point to the actual factory ??
Thank you for your thoughtful review. We're glad you had fun and enjoyed creating your own chocolate bar and truffles. We understand your wish to learn more about making the truffle filling itself, and we'll keep that feedback in mind for future workshops. We also appreciate your comments about the transfer from the meeting point to the factory. Thank you for helping us improve, and we hope to see you again soon! 🍫✨
Our instructor was amazing. She explained everything and gave us very clear directions so we could make the chocolate. We had a lot of different toppings to choose from and we made 3 kinds of chocolate. One of our best experiences in Brussels.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so pleased to hear you enjoyed the workshop and that our instructor made the experience easy to follow and enjoyable. It’s great that you loved the variety of toppings and the chance to create three different chocolates. Being considered one of your best experiences in Brussels means a lot to us. We hope to see you again soon! 🍫✨
