At Chocolate Manor, there's an experience for everybody. Families can get together to make some tasty treats or, for kids only, they have the Choccy Rocky Experience. Their fun family activities are informative, creative and best of all, you have something delicious to take home too. For the chocolate-loving grown up, they have experiences where you can learn truffle-making, moulding chocolates and making some classic favourites. Visitors and locals love to explore the fantastic Taste Causeway artisan products they can pair with chocolate or learn how to taste chocolate properly – yes, there really is a way to enjoy chocolate even more than you do now!

Their workshops are open to the public or can be booked as private sessions. They welcome groups and offer school and corporate packages based on the age range and interests of guests. Chocolate Manor's workshops are great for team-building or celebrating a special event.
