Book your private chocolate tasting workshop in Ghent City Centre

Summary: I would recommend this experience just for the unique cacao drinks alone. I didn't know anything about cacao but it was fascinating to taste the fruit, brew, and the tea. You basically get to try every step in the chocolate-making process, plus some unique chocolate pairings at the end.

Summary: I booked this experience because I am a big lover of chocolate. My husband, on the other hand, was a bit hesitant at first considering our time in Ghent was limited. But now he can't stop talking about how great the whole experience was! He especially liked the homemade chocolate liqueur, he keeps raving about it. All in all, well worth the money and the time! :)

Summary: We have found our new chocolate home in Ghent! Thank you, Dorien & Liu, for the incredible experience! Your shop is truly special. We have some friends coming over to Belgium in the summer and we already recommended them to drop by your place. If they have enough time, they'll also do the tasting. I know they'd love it, just like we loved everything about your shop!

Summary: It was my sister’s 50th birthday and as she is a massive foodie, I had booked a whole day of food-related experiences. For lunch and dinner, we went to two different Michelin restaurants, and I had also reserved a spot at a beautiful hotel cocktail bar with a view. Needless to say, the whole day was amazing, but this experience was definitely the biggest highligt. As this is a private tasting, you expect a personal service, but this surpassed all our expectations. Before the tasting, you get to indicate your preferences. Like what you're most interested in and which flavours you prefer. I picked food pairing and indicated that we specifically wanted to learn more about pairing chocolate with non-alcoholic drinks. I honestly didn’t expect too much from the personalization, maybe just some tips & tricks. However, Dorien went above and beyond to personalize the experience. We tried an incredible drink with cocoa fruit and had a very special Chinese tea & chocolate pairing. All the other chocolates were incredible as well! (So much so that we tried to move our dinner reservation one hour later.) Dorien answered all our questions with a lot of passion and enthusiasm, and she adapted the tasting to our interests on the spot, which shows an incredible amount of know-how and professionalism. Even though the tasting room is definitely nothing fancy, I would say the whole experience, especially the service, is at Michelin level.

Summary: Dear Dorien, Thank you for sharing your knowledge about chocolate with us. You guided us very calm and friendly through the private chocolat experience. We learned a lot about the origin of chocolate, the history and the whole process from the fruit of the tree till the pieces chocolates and pralines you served us. You gave us the opportunity to taste chocolate in various forms and various tastes while making our own chocolatebars. We all enjoyed it very much and thank you kindly for your hospitality. We certainly recommend chocolate lovers to visit your chocolate embassy in Ghent. You really offer a special experience!

Summary: This was a highlight of our time in Ghent. Chocolade Ambassade is run by a lovely young couple who are serious about high quality chocolate and sharing their knowledge with others. We enjoyed a wide assortment of chocolate and chocolate-based products, including things that are made with the byproducts of the chocolate making process. We learned so much!

Summary: Lovely experience. Very knowledgeable and hospitable host. Learned a ton and got the benefit of their expertise to taste the best of the best Belgian chocolate

Summary: We had an amazing time learning about chocolate! Dorinne (sp?) was an excellent instructor…Uber knowledgeable and passionate about chocolate! The instructional area was comfortable and cozy. We tasted multiple chocolates…and different elements of the cacao processing stages. We also appreciated Dorinne and her partner’s (Leo) approach to supporting the smaller business in the craft. Highly recommend this experience!

Summary: Really a nice activity to have something different than just a tour of the city. and the owner and his wife are lovely

Summary: Our first day in Ghent started with our private tasting with Dorien in their beautiful store. It was one of our best experiences in Ghent. We learned so much about chocolate and the process of making it. It was informative, interesting and fun as well as delicious. She opened my eyes and palate to unique flavors paired with the chocolates and left me wanting more artisanal Belgium chocolate.
