Chocolate Classes
Love our Chocolate? Why not find out how we make it!
We run fun filled, hands-on classes at our store at Featherston Street Store in Wellington.
Chocolate-making is great idea for team building exercises, parties or just getting together with your friends. Special Open classes for individuals are also available

Classes are presented by Jiri Havlik, better known as George
You will learn the secrets of tempering chocolate and truffle making. At the end of the class you'll finish six of these delectable treats yourself and take them home.
You'll also receive step by step instruction booklet so you can make them at home.
