Guided Tour of the Choco-Story in Brussels
Visit the Choco-Story in Brussels and find out how it all started – back when the Mayas and Aztecs started to grow cocoa trees and transform the beans into delicious chocolate. Watch a master chocolate maker produce delicious pralines, as well as a chance to savour the delights of his hard work.
Along with some free tastings as part of the tour, there is also a shop on site to purchase those gorgeous choccy gifts! Children (and adults) in particular love this tour, especially those that are fans of Willy Wonker and the Chocolate Factory!
Chocolate Making Class and Chocolate Workshop
Visit another real chocolate factory right in the heart of the city. Meet Elisabetta, the resident chocolatier, for an hour's class as you create lots of gorgeous chocolates under her guidance.
Please note this is not a museum tour, but an opportunity to make your own chocolate at an operational working factory in Brussels. As well as the classic dark, milk and white varieties, you can also discover ‘ruby’ chocolate, a relatively new invention made from a cocoa bean that is 100% natural and creates treats with a unique flavour.

Entrance Tickets to the Choco Story Museum
Returning to the museum, here you're invited to delve into the life of the cocoa plant and indeed the beans it produces. Take a look at a Maya temple where cocoa beans were first eaten over 5000 years ago or climb aboard the boat of Cortez that first imported such beans into Europe.
Discover how chocolate was made at the French court of Versailles in the 17th Century and how the ‘praline’ was originally crafted in Belgium. There's also a fascinating chocolate-making demonstration and chocolate-tasting session included for a fully immersive day out.
