Go behind the marble counter at a celebrated Bruges chocolatier for a private hands-on masterclass, crafting and tasting pralines made to 19th-century Belgian recipes — the sweetest two hours in Northern Europe.
What to expect
A master chocolatier leads your private group through tempering, moulding and hand-decorating ganache-filled pralines using single-origin cacao and unexpected Belgian flavour pairings — think yuzu, aged Genever or smoked sea salt. The workshop culminates in a curated tasting flight paired with Belgian craft beer or champagne. You leave with a beautifully packaged box of your own creations. The atelier is in the heart of Bruges' historic centre, a short walk from the Markt.
Good to know
Private workshops must be pre-booked directly via The Chocolate Line website well in advance — they sell out quickly, especially May–September. Confirm your ship's all-aboard time when booking; the 2-hour workshop comfortably fits within a half-day visit to Bruges. Transfer from Zeebrugge by taxi takes 15–20 minutes.
