Indulge yourself in a hands-on chocolate making workshop designed for the inquisitive and creative chocoholic! Find out how real chocolate is made and experience the pleasure of making your own. You’ll leave the chocolate workshop with your own handmade chocolates and the skills to make even more.
This chocolate making workshop is the perfect indulgence for any chocoholic! Your chocolate workshop begins with a brief discussion about chocolate including the difference between real chocolate (couverture) and compound chocolate.
Afterwards, you will be entrusted with the secrets of making chocolate truffles and given a choice of eight enticing flavours so you can even try your hand at making your own.
With the guidance of Joseph the chocolatier, you will firstly make the ganache using a flavour of your choice (the ganache is the centre of the chocolate). While you are rolling the ganache into delicious, bite-sized balls, your workshop assistant will make everyone in the workshop a great cup of coffee. Enjoy your coffee and maybe even indulge in one or two chocolates from our delicious chocolate range!
After making the ganache, you are then given a choice of a variety of finishes for your truffles. These may include a cocoa powder, or rolled nut finish, you might even have the opportunity to enrobe your creations using the chocolate machine, as well as decorating them.
After the class, all of your handmade chocolates (excluding those that you might have already eaten!) are yours to take home.

We thoroughly enjoyed the chocolate making workshop. We were really impressed with the chocolates we took home and the best part is that everything we learnt we can try again at home later.

This was definitely one of the best Saturday mornings I've had in a long time! If anyone wants a day with lots of tasting, nibbling, licking and laughing, sign up for this workshop. Joseph and Connie were wonderful hosts; they sure know their stuff and they're so open and willing to sharing their knowledge with anyone willing to learn! You also meet a great group of people who make the time fly. You don't even need to know anything about cooking; you just need to love chocolate and be prepared ...This was definitely one of the best Saturday mornings I've had in a long time!

Oh and don't blame anyone if you don't wake from your chocolate comma after you eat through the entire box of your very own hand-made, personalised treats.
