Bean To Bar Chocolate Making Workshops

A Half Day Course For Aspiring Chocolate Makers

Note: These workshops are designed for those wanting to learn how to make bean-to-bar chocolate, either at home or in a small workshop environment. 

You will learn how to make chocolate bars from unroasted cocoa beans.  You will not learn how to make filled chocolates, flavoured chocolates or truffles on this course.

About The Workshop

Ever wanted to learn how to make chocolate from scratch at home? Considering starting your own bean-to-bar chocolate business, but don’t know where to start? These workshops are for you!

These workshops last approximately five hours and are designed for 1 or 2 people maximum. You’ll learn everything from how to source cocoa beans and other ingredients, to roasting, winnowing, refining and tempering your own bars.

Your workshop will be designed around you, your knowledge level and specific areas of interest. Considering starting a chocolate business? I’ll guide you through the potential pitfalls of making a living from chocolate. Looking to make vegan chocolate? We’ll discuss dairy alternatives as we spend the day making a batch of chocolate to your recipe for you to take home.

Workshops take place in my home in the beautiful city of St Albans, just outside London. St Albans City Station is only 20 minutes from London’s King’s Cross by Thameslink and only 5 minutes’ walk from my beautiful flat. If you prefer to travel by car, private off-street parking is available.

Long Term Support

After the workshop, you’ll also receive a copy of my book and two months of email support, helping guide you along your chocolate journey. If you need longer term help, that’s available at a reduced rate.

These workshops are designed to be informal and relaxed but give you the foundation to start a real, meaningful journey into the incredible world of chocolate making. There’ll be plenty of refreshments, chocolate tastings, and of course lots of hands-on chocolate making time too.

The cost for a five-hour workshop is £500 for up to two people, including refreshments, a signed book, and your batch of chocolate to take home.  We can arrange a time and date for your workshop that works best for you. If you’d like to arrange a unique workshop, chocolate tasting or an event for more people, get in touch to discuss pricing.
