Bean-to-bar Chocolate Workshop

As recommended in The Sunday Times, The New York Times and CNN:

“The best way to experience the power and pleasure of chocolate is to taste its history.”
” Crafting bonbons or chocolate bars is not just a sweet treat, but it’s like weaving my affections and memories into each delicate piece.”




Join the experienced Chocolate Melt team for an insight into the wonderful process of making a chocolate bar from a cocoa bean. Your teacher, Natalie, will guide you through the magical transformation, weaving in plenty of fascinating history of chocolate and some yummy tastings.

You'll find this amazing chocolate-making class nestled in the heart of Notting Hill. Taste sublime samplings and learn everything there is to know about this incredible sweet treat.

In this one-of-a-kind experience, you'll focus on what is described as the greatest event in history— the discovery of chocolate!
