Looking for a chocolate and beer workshop in Belgium? Then you probably want more than just tasting. You want to create something with your own hands. To learn, laugh, and truly experience Belgian culture.

At Waffles ’n Beer, we combine two Belgian icons: handcrafted chocolate and carefully selected Belgian beers. Our workshops take place in Bruges, Ghent and Brussels, offering a unique and interactive experience for travelers, friends, companies and bachelor or bachelorette groups.

Try it yourself

What is a chocolate and beer workshop?

During this interactive session, you will:

• Make your own Belgian pralines or mendiants

• Learn how chocolate is melted and tempered

• Taste several Belgian beers

• Discover how beer and chocolate enhance each other

It’s not just about eating and drinking. It’s about pairing, discovering, and understanding why certain flavors work so well together.

As we explained earlier in our blog about the history of Belgian delicacies, the strength of Belgian gastronomy lies in tradition and craftsmanship. During this workshop, you literally taste that story.

Why chocolate and beer work so well together

Many people think of wine and chocolate. But beer? That’s where the surprise begins.

• A dark stout with coffee and cocoa notes enhances dark chocolate.

• A fruity kriek pairs beautifully with red-fruit chocolate.

• A blond beer creates a fresh contrast with creamy milk chocolate.

During the workshop, our hosts explain why certain aromas enhance or balance each other. You’ll learn how to taste like a real connoisseur, without it ever becoming complicated.

The atmosphere? Relaxed, cozy, and welcoming. Not a stiff lesson, but a warm experience where everyone feels comfortable.

What makes our chocolate and beer workshop unique?

What truly sets our workshop apart is the combination of creating and tasting.

You’re not just watching. You’ll actively participate:
