Frequently asked questions:

 Depending on the season, the workshop runs up to 3 times a day. You can find out the schedule and tickets availability in real time on the website booking page or (here). The easiest is to book directly online but you can also send us an email if you prefer contact@ghentchocolateworkshop.com

 Yes indeed! All our regular workshops are held in English. When you book a private group or team building, its possible to choose other languages like Spanish, French or Dutch. Note that private workshops are usually organized for groups of minimum 15 participants. See our private group section for more details.

Do you provide a participation certification ?

 We do not offer that option. Why ? Because we do not organize professional training, our workshop is only an introduction to the chocolate world and a fun cooking workshop and we mean to keep it that way!

Is the workshop kids friendly ?

 We organize two workshops, the 1.5H truffle making that welcomes kids age 8+ and the 2.5H praline making workshop that welcomes kids age 12+. If you are looking for a cooking class for younger kids, check out our Waffle Workshop available both in Ghent, Bruges & Brussels. Note that kids (-18 years old) need to be accompanied by at least one participating adult. We do not allow spectators.

 The fee includes all ingredients, kitchen ware & equipment. Just bring a smile and positive vibe, we will do the rest ;-)

 Whether you spend your life in the kitchen or no, our facilitators will help you get the best results possible! No previous cooking skills are required to join the workshop.

 We run vegan & dairy free workshops daily, just mention in the comment section of the booking form you would like to make vegan / dairy free chocolates and remind us at the start of the workshop! Please note that the complimentary hot chocolate cannot always be made dairy free but we will do our best to provide soy; the rest of the workshop can be made vegan without a doubt.
