The Main Event

Discover the magic of chocolate making with a hands-on Bean to Bar Chocolate Masterclass, the perfect gift for any chocolate lover. This immersive experience takes you right back to the source, showing you how chocolate transforms from raw cocoa beans into smooth, indulgent bars.

Over the course of nearly four hours, you’ll explore every stage of the process, from roasting and grinding the beans to blending and tempering your own unique creation. Guided step by step, you’ll uncover how subtle changes at each stage influence the flavours and textures of the final chocolate. It’s an eye-opening introduction for anyone curious about what makes truly great chocolate or simply a fan of the sweet stuff.

The highlight of the day? Crafting your very own signature chocolate blend. Working with base ingredients, you’ll be able to create a recipe that matches your personal taste, whether you prefer something rich and bold, smooth and creamy, or a little more unusual. You’ll package up around 500g of your handmade chocolate to take away, ready to enjoy at home or use in your own kitchen creations.

No previous experience is needed, making this workshop an easy and welcoming experience for complete beginners. You’ll also head home with recipe cards and technical worksheets, giving you the know-how to experiment further with chocolate making long after the class ends.

With its mix of creativity, learning, and plenty of indulgence, this masterclass makes a unique gift idea. Whether you’re searching for a birthday surprise, a Christmas treat, or something different for someone who has everything, this experience offers not just chocolate, but the knowledge and skills to recreate it.

It's guaranteed to go down a treat!
