Chocolate Making Workshops

Chocolate Country Chocolate School

MASTER THE ART

of chocolate making!

For over 10 years, Chocolate Country has been sharing the art of chocolate making through the Sunshine Coast’s longest-running Chocolate School.

Held in our working chocolate factory in the Big Red Barn on our Hunchy farm, just minutes from Montville, Chocolate School is a rather special Hinterland experience. We’ll welcome you on the deck overlooking the paddocks and dam — home to our sheep, ducks and geese — before heading into the factory for two deliciously hands-on hours.

Guided by two chocolatiers, you’ll learn professional techniques using premium Belgian couverture chocolate, creating chocolate frogs, a box of handmade truffles and your own 250g sharing slab.

You’ll leave with an impressive 425g of your own creations, professionally presented in Chocolate Country packaging and worth over $95 in our store.

Perfect for couples, friends, birthdays and chocolate lovers. Private classes are also available for corporate events, hens’ celebrations, team days and groups. 

If you would like to make a Chocolate School Group or corporate event booking please contact us directly here.

Just wanted to say a big thank you for the class today. The three of us had such a lovely time and learned a lot. The chocolates we made and took home are also delicious. Thank you for sharing your passion knowledge with us. It was a really wonderful class.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Chocolate School is designed to give you a genuine taste of how professional chocolatiers work. With two chocolatiers guiding each class, you’ll learn how to handle couverture chocolate, work cleanly and confidently, and use professional techniques for moulding, dipping, decorating and finishing.

The emphasis is on learning by doing, with plenty of guidance along the way, so you leave not only with beautiful chocolates, but with new skills and a better understanding of the craft behind them.

Ready to take your skills further? Our four-hour Tempering & Truffles workshop goes deeper into the technical side of chocolate making. You’ll explore different types of chocolate, understand the science behind tempering and learn how to achieve a professional finish.

You’ll then put those skills into practice making ganache, pralines, moulded and dipped chocolates, rolled truffles and chocolate decorations..

What delightful experience we had today as we learnt to create delicious and gorgeous-looking chocolates and truffles. You were passionate about your chocolate and we loved learning in the group as we watched you at work and then took turns in creating magic ourselves. I am so much more confident to make my own now and look forward to what I can achieve. You were so willing to answer our questions throughout the day. Thanks so very much. I would highly recommend this class.
