Chocolate Workshop

Henrik certainly knows his Cocoa. We booked a private workshop and thoroughly enjoyed our time with Henrik and his team learning more about real Chocolate. Highly recommend you visit them if you love chocolate.

Great Chocolate Experience

We had a great chocolate experience with Henrik. We came with our two kids, ages 5 and 2, and it was fun for everyone. We learned a lot and the kids loved making their own chocolate!

Great Experience

I was so glad we booked this educational tour with Henrik, he educated us on how chocolate is grown and made. We were able to get the cocoa beans, shell them and make our own chocolate. Definitely worth the time and money.

Great Family experience

We took the workshop as a family (5 adults, three 6 year olds and a toddler) and Henrik was terrific....especially with the kids. This is a great experience for the kids AND the adults. Well worth while. Great chocolate, great fun.
