Tips

Making the Most of Your Visit:

If you're aiming to unleash your inner chocolatier, it's always fun to come with a few flavor ideas in mind. Whether it's whiskey, chilli, or raspberry — feel free to suggest these to your host, they'll often be happy to help you experiment!

These workshops can get a bit messy in the best possible way! It's a great idea to wear clothing you don't mind risking the odd chocolate smudge on. Aprons are usually provided but it's always best to be prepared.

Arrive a little early if you can. The atmosphere is wonderfully relaxed, and you'll have the chance to settle in, chat with fellow participants, and nibble on any chocolate samples they might have out — a sweet way to kick off the experience.

Don't hesitate to ask for guidance on packaging your chocolates creatively. They give you the materials but there's usually room to make that gift look extra special, perfect if you're planning on sharing your artistic chocolate creations with someone special.

Finally, make sure to chat with the instructors about the latest chocolate trends or any new workshops they are offering. They're passionate about their craft and often have fascinating insights to share about the world of chocolate!
