About
Raske fakta: Velvety cocoa aromas drift through dimly lit galleries, where live demonstrations let you watch chocolatiers temper, mold, and decorate bars to glossy perfection. Hands-on workshops and tasting flights let visitors compare more than 30 chocolate varieties, and a miniature edible town displays painstakingly crafted sugar-and-chocolate architecture.
Høydepunkter: Behind a modest shopfront you can watch chocolatiers hand-pipe more than 50 ornate pralines an hour, using a 19th-century copper tempering machine named Octave that clinks like a tiny bell as the chocolate sets. A playful tasting ritual lets you compare three single-origin dark chocolates, labeled Criollo 70%, Trinitario 75%, and Forastero 85%, while a guide explains how adding a single gram of cocoa butter transforms mouthfeel from grainy to silky.
Insider tips
- Book an early time slot and arrive 10 minutes before your entry to skip queues.
- Check the daily schedule on arrival so you can time a live chocolatier demonstration into your visit.
- Carry a small reusable bag for purchases and leave large luggage at your hotel because space is limited.
- Use no-flash photography in the display rooms and save shopping for after the tour when samples are finished.
