Premium Chocolate Making Experience - The Coffee & Chocolate Pairing Experience

Chocolate and coffee. Two of our favourite things – brought together in one delicious experience.

The Mocha Pairing Experience begins with a guided tasting of handmade Mocha chocolates alongside specially selected Grumpy Mule coffees, exploring how different flavours, roasts and chocolates complement – and sometimes completely transform – one another.

Then it's your turn to become the chocolatier.

Guided by a Mocha chocolatier, you'll use coffee as an ingredient as well as an inspiration, creating your own collection of coffee-infused chocolates to take home.

What you'll do

You'll begin by slowing things down and really tasting chocolate and coffee together, before putting some of those flavour ideas into practice at the chocolate bench.

Possible content includes:

• A guided tasting of handmade Mocha chocolates
• Tasting selected Grumpy Mule coffees alongside different chocolates
• Discovering how different chocolates work with different coffee flavours and roast profiles
• Exploring the classic relationship between coffee and chocolate
• Learning how coffee can be incorporated into chocolate fillings
• Creating a rich espresso ganache, cappuccino-inspired filled chocolate cups, mocha truffles or coffee caramels
• Decorating and finishing your coffee-inspired chocolates
• Tips and techniques from your Mocha chocolatier

The chocolates, coffees, flavours and techniques may change throughout the year as we introduce different coffees and seasonal chocolate combinations.

While your chocolates are setting, we'll stop for a complimentary drink and a chance to relax and chat.

What you'll take home

You'll leave with your own handmade collection of coffee-inspired chocolates, beautifully presented in an 24-chocolate Mocha box and finished with ribbon.

You'll also receive your Mocha Chocolate Experience certificate, a photograph from your experience and our ganache recipe to take home.

You'll also receive a special discount on Mocha chocolates purchased on the day – and you may find yourself taking home a bag of coffee too.

Best for

The Mocha Pairing Experience is perfect for coffee lovers, chocolate lovers and couples looking for something a little different to enjoy together.

It's particularly suited to anyone who enjoys discovering flavours and understanding why certain combinations work so well.

You don't need any previous chocolate-making knowledge – or specialist coffee knowledge. We'll guide you through both.
