Do we need to make a RESERVATION to participate in a chocolate-making workshop?
Yes, a reservation is required. The easiest is to BOOK ONLINE.
Pick a date and time and pay online with your credit card.
Have your ticket in your smart phone or printed, and show up LATEST 10 minutes before the scheduled time.
We need to prepare the exact amount of material and tools for each person prior to the start of the workshop, so we do need to know the exact number of participants. The sooner you book the more options will be available.
In what LANGUAGE are the workshops held?
English.
We have a high number of travellers booking our chocolate-making workshops. This has led to English becoming the language of our workshops.
Don’t worry if your English isn’t perfect, as our classes are very visual! We demonstrate every step of the way so everyone can understand 🙂
How LONG is a chocolatiering experience?
The workshop takes 75 minutes.
Depending on your creativity and how many photos you want to take.
Please arrive LATEST 10 min before the start time of your workshop. You will not be able to join the class after it has begun.
NOTE: Your chocolates need to cool down for a minimum of 60 minutes after the workshop. Please plan your trip so you can come and pick up your gift wrapped chocolate bars 60 minutes after the end of the activity or anytime the next day.
How MUCH chocolate do we get to make?
You will make and take home around 400g of amazing, beautiful, unique-in-all-the-world chocolate bars.
You can choose if you want to work with high-quality Swiss milk chocolate or dark chocolate.
Oh, and you can eat as much as you want in the workshop… our goal is to get you #chocolatewasted !
Can CHILDREN participate?
Yes, kids love making chocolates!
Our workshops are universally popular with kids. Very young ones might need a steadying hand from a grown-up.
Even though we provide aprons and chef hats, the kids will probably be completely covered with a chocolate at the end. Do not worry, it looks great on the photos! 🙂
Every kid (4 -13 years old) need to have their own seat reserved.
Kids under 8 years old MUST BE accompanied by an Adult with a ticket.
Kids older than 8 years are welcome to join the class without Adult supervision.Â
Children under 4 are not permitted in the public workshops. A private workshop can be scheduled, which will give the instructor time to give the required attention to the participants.
Can we have a PRIVATE class?
Yes.
Private classes are available by prior arrangements..
Cost of a private class costs Sfr. 899 for up to 12 participants.
This will give you the workshop to yourself or private party.

You can decide if you want to create milk chocolates or dark chocolates during the workshop.
If from some reason you cannot eat dairy products you can easily work with dark chocolate only, which contains no milk.

No, there are no eggs, meat, nuts or alcohol in our chocolates. We use nuts only for decoration at the end, but we can stay completely nut free if needed.The chocolate we use during the workshop is not certified gluten free but does not contain any gluten.
