Bruges, famous for its enchanting cobbled streets and beautiful canals, offers many unique experiences. Attending the Belgian chocolate-making workshop stands out as a truly delightful experience. Hands-on, it’s an opportunity to make delicious creations yourself.
TL;DR
A short review of an excellent chocolate making workshop - close to Bruges town centre.
Conveniently located about a 10-minute walk from Bruges' city centre, the workshop is easily accessible for both tourists and locals. When we entered, the rich aroma of melted chocolate envelops you, and sparks an excitement for what lies ahead.

The Chocolate Classroom
One of the highlights of this workshop is its intimate setting. With only four participants in our session - result! - as there could be up to 16, the personal attention made for the best of a hands-on atmosphere. This setup enhanced our learning and made for a relaxed environment, rather than a standard class.
Our enthusiastic host - Sandie, (she was lovely) quickly became the heart of our chocolate adventure. She shared experience, tips and engaging stories, enriching our experience vastly. Her friendliness made us all feel comfortable instantly, encouraging us to ask questions and share laughter throughout the session. Loved her attention to the music.
Easy-to-Follow Instructions
No prior experience is needed to join this chocolate-making workshop. Our host provided clear, simple instructions that made a complex process easy to grasp. Each step was demonstrated, ensuring our journey from raw ingredients to finished chocolates felt seamless and enjoyable.
For chocolate lovers with limited kitchen experience, this workshop is the perfect opportunity to dive into chocolate-making. We were all thrilled to see our professional-looking chocolates come to life by the end.

A Guilt-free Indulgence
After a fun couple of hours pouring, shaping, and decorating our creations, each participant left with a few boxes of delicious treats. The sense of accomplishment, coupled with the joy of indulging in handmade chocolates, made the entire experience worth every Euro.
The classroom had bottle of waters, handwashing facilities, and restroom access. The camaraderie among participants added to the enjoyment as we shared experiences and laughter while crafting our sweet masterpieces.
Good Value for Money
Attending the Belgian chocolate workshop is not only about making chocolate; it’s an experience. It is more than just a class; it’s an unforgettable adventure right in the heart of Bruges.
We were even treated to some decadent hot chocolate that had no need for any frivolous extras - gorgeous!
If you visit this charming city and seek a unique activity, this workshop is a must. It has excellent TripAdvisor reviews - including my own.
