Chocolate & Art Workshops

You’ll arrive at our cozy, partially underground chocolate factory tucked into a corner of El Mercado, where you’ll be welcomed with an apron and introduced to examples of the wooden chocolate box projects available. After receiving your blank box, you’ll be guided to either the ART BAR or the CHOCOLATE BAR and begin a self-paced experience that combines chocolate making indoors with decorating and embellishing your box outdoors. Guests are encouraged to reserve a specific project in advance or choose the popular “Seat Reservation Only” option and select a project upon arrival; the $34 seat reservation covers the “2 Bar” activity and is credited toward any larger project you choose. Project options include Build a Bar (30 minutes–2 hours), where you create custom milk, dark, and/or white chocolate bars with toppings and design your own carton; Build a Box and Bars (1–2 hours), where you craft a wooden keepsake box and fill it with handmade bars customized with up to 25 inclusions while decorating the box using paints, stains, stamps, stencils, and washi tape; and Build a Bark (30 minutes–2 hours), where you create a large slab of swirled chocolate bark in a wooden tile, design it with inclusions, decorate the tile itself as a reusable tray or plaque, and receive a wooden hammer to break and serve it—each project offering a creative, hands-on chocolate experience perfect for gifts or personal enjoyment.
