when: 2026.01.24., Saturday
where: 1039 Budapest, Huba utca 3.
Come in January 2026 for an exclusive, two-day chocolate-making workshop where you’ll craft your own chocolate and take it all home. The first session focuses on white chocolate, the second on dark. Dive into the world of cacao for two days and leave with your own creations.
When and where
January 24–25, 2026 (Saturday–Sunday), 1039 Budapest, 3 Huba Street (Huba utca 3). This edition centers on dark chocolate.
Day 1: From theory to first bars
Get to know chocolate types and the fundamentals: roasting, conching, tempering, and production. Work with in-house chocolates to make bars, small chocolates, filled bonbons, and decorative pieces. To close the day, you’ll collaboratively assemble a dark chocolate base in the conche.
Day 2: Temper, craft, take home
By morning, your conched dark chocolate is ready. Explore multiple tempering methods with your fresh batch: marble-slab tempering, seeding, and cocoa butter techniques. Then apply your favorite techniques from Day 1 to create your own line of bars, bonbons, and chocolates—entirely from your own chocolate.
What you take home
Everything you make: personalized dark chocolate bars, bite-size pieces, filled bonbons, and decorative elements. It’s a full bean-to-bonbon experience.

Pros
+
Hands-on and tasty: you’ll make your own bars and bonbons and take a pile home
+
Family-friendliness: fine for teens and chocolate-loving kids with patience; no wild party vibe
+
No Hungarian needed: workshops like this in Budapest are typically run in English for visitors
+
Easy-ish access: Budapest has solid public transit and ride-hails; driving and parking in the outer districts is manageable
+
Globally popular topic: artisanal chocolate and bean-to-bar are well-known trends, so you’ll recognize the techniques
+
Location cachet: Budapest is a famous, tourist-friendly city with great food and thermal baths for downtime
+
Depth vs. other attractions: this goes beyond a tasting—full bean-to-bonbon is rarer than typical factory tours in the US or Europe
- Not ideal for very young kids: two full days of tempering and technique can be slow and technical
Cons
–
Timing: January can be cold and gray in Budapest, which may limit other sightseeing between sessions
–
Niche address: 3 Huba Street isn’t a marquee tourist area, so expect an extra transit leg from the city center
–
Schedule risk: organizers can change dates/program, which complicates tight travel plans
