COCOA CREATION

Chocolate Bar Making Workshop with York Cocoa Works

York is home to some of the world’s most famous chocolate bars and beloved brands, and there’s no better place to indulge your love for cocoa than in the heart of the Chocolate City itself. At the York Cocoa Works Academy, you’ll be welcomed into the world of artisan chocolate making and guided by expert chocolatiers through every step of the process.

Discover the origins of cocoa and learn how the finest beans are transformed into smooth, glossy chocolate through careful roasting and tempering. Then roll up your sleeves and create your own chocolate bar – experimenting with different flavours, textures, and inclusions to craft your perfect combination.

Once your masterpiece is complete, it will be left to set while you enjoy learning more about the artistry, history, and craft of chocolate making. Finally, you’ll wrap your beautifully finished bar, ready to take home and enjoy – or gift to someone special.
