La Chocolatrice Workshops specialises entirely in chocolate making, operating from its own chocolate factory in Coxhoe, County Durham, where groups can enjoy hands-on experiences with expert chocolatiers. This focused approach allows them to offer genuine depth in chocolate craftsmanship rather than spreading across multiple disciplines. The workshop programme centres on truffle making and chocolate bar creation, with sessions designed for different occasions and age groups. Their signature Chocolate Truffle Making Workshop teaches participants to create fresh truffles alongside chocolate flakes and crisps through flavour experimentation and technique practice. The 90-minute format allows time for both demonstration and hands-on creation, with participants taking home their fresh truffle creations. For special occasions, the Private Chocolate Making Experience accommodates groups of 6 to 20 people in weekend sessions, combining truffle-making instruction with chocolate tasting throughout the workshop. Participants leave with an assortment of delicious chocolate truffles, flakes, and crisps they've created themselves. The children's birthday parties take a different approach, focusing on chocolate bar creation where each child aged 6 and above crafts their own chocolate bar with chosen toppings and ingredients, then decorates personalised labels for packaging. These 90-minute celebrations accommodate 8 to 15 children and eliminate the need for separate party bags. All workshops include chocolate tasting elements and are guided by skilled chocolatiers who provide demonstrations before participants begin their own creations. The chocolate factory setting includes free parking and maintains a relaxed, interactive atmosphere. La Chocolatrice suits groups seeking genuine chocolate-making instruction rather than simple decoration activities, with options spanning children's celebrations to corporate team building.
