Chocolate Making Workshop Colmar: Make & Take Your Bars

Dip marshmallows and orangettes, then walk out with 250–300g of chocolate you made yourself

A chocolate-making workshop in Colmar where you spend 45 minutes learning to dip and decorate chocolate bars under a professional chocolatier's guidance, then take home everything you've made. The workshop includes entry to the Choco-Story museum for a 1.5-hour audio-guided tour with unlimited tastings, 500 collector's items on display, quizzes, a photobooth and a virtual demonstration by three master chocolatiers. Children from age 7 are welcome; those up to 10 must be accompanied by a paying adult.

The Experience

You arrive 15 minutes early and work hands-on with a chocolatier for 45 minutes. The dipping technique is the core: you coat marshmallows, orangettes and praline squares in chocolate, then create your own decorated chocolate bars. By the end you've made 250–300g of chocolate to take home—enough to remember the workshop every time you unwrap a piece.

After the workshop, the museum opens up. An audio guide leads you through 1.5 hours of stops: 500 collector's items, a photobooth with costumes, unlimited tastings at stations, quizzes that teach you how chocolate is made, and a giant screen showing a virtual demonstration by three master chocolatiers. The 500 kg of chocolate sculptures—including a Statue of Liberty—are the kind of detail that makes the route feel less like a museum and more like stepping into a chocolatier's world.

The whole experience runs 2.5 hours. Guides speak English or French, so language is not a barrier. Children from 7 years old can join; younger children cannot attend, and those up to 10 need a paying adult in the workshop with them.
