Description

Hands-on chocolate adventure: Craft, create, and savor artisan confections in Fredericksburg’s only true bean-to-bar factory. Learn from expert chocolatiers—become a chocolate maker for a day!

Dive into the ultimate chocolate-making experience—an exclusive, factory-floor masterclass led by professional chocolatiers. This intimate, hands-on event guides you through cacao sourcing, tempering, enrobing, and live caramel popcorn making with industry equipment. Note: this Experience does not include a wine, chocolate, and cheese reception. If you would like a followup wine and chocolate pairing in our tasting room, please look at booking an Artisan Wine & Chocolate Pairing immediately following your class.  You’ll take home treats you create and leave with professional techniques you can use for life.

Please Note: 

This class is built for enthusiastic amateur chefs and chocolate lovers. If you are a culinary professional interested in advanced or professional-level instruction, please email info@hillcountrychocolate.com to discuss tailored options with one of our chocolatiers.

This is a communal activity. This activity takes place in a working chocolate and confectionery factory where participants may be exposed to hot confections and equipment that can be potentially hazardous.
