Maison Pliester Chocolate

This tasty tour lets your students experience one of Belgium’s most iconic industries: chocolate making! At Maison Pliester, an artisan chocolatier in Brussels formerly known as Concept Chocolate, the chocolatiers are passionate about preserving traditional chocolate-making methods. They have been handcrafting every praline and bar in their Schaerbeek workshop since 1986.

You and your students will follow the journey of this delicious delicacy from pure, natural cocoa right through to the handcrafted chocolates and pralines on offer. Along the way, you’ll learn about the history of cocoa and how it is transformed into chocolate. You’ll then watch the chocolatiers create traditional Belgian pralines.

Choose between:

• Visit and demonstration: a one-hour introduction to Belgian chocolate making.
• Hands-on workshop: a two-hour session in which your students make their own chocolates to wrap and take home, alongside the demonstration.

​

Of course, no visit to a chocolatier would be complete without a tasting session. Both options give you and your students the chance to sample some of the finest examples of traditional Belgian chocolate.
