About this tour
Work alongside an artisan chocolatier in Paris who sources direct from cocoa producers. This two-hour workshop traces chocolate from bean to bar, covering the crop's history, market realities, and environmental impact. You'll craft four custom dark chocolate bars in a vegan facility, discovering how quality dark chocolate needn't be bitter. The studio doubles as a social enterprise, so conversations naturally turn to fair wages and ethical sourcing in cocoa-growing regions.
Highlights
- Hand-craft four personalised dark chocolate bars from scratch
- Learn cocoa farming practices, economics, and sustainability challenges
- Meet a chocolatier who works directly with bean producers
- Taste how dark chocolate can be genuinely sweet
- Discuss fair trade and social impact in the industry
- Vegan production methods throughout
What to expect
You'll start with a guided conversation about cocoa—where it grows, who grows it, and why it matters. The chocolatier walks you through their sourcing philosophy before moving to the practical work. You'll temper, mould, and personalise your four bars using dark chocolate couverture, tasting as you go. The space is relaxed and conversational; this isn't a rushed factory tour. Expect to get your hands properly involved and leave with edible proof of what you've made. Snacks are provided alongside the chocolate.
Good to know
The workshop runs two hours. The facility is fully accessible, with wheelchair access throughout and room for prams. Public transport is nearby. It's a vegan workspace, so all chocolate and snacks are plant-based.
