Looking for a fun and delicious activity this half-term? Join us at La Mare Wine Estate for an exciting children's Chocolate Making Workshop, perfect for young chocolate lovers!

What’s Included?

Chocolate Tasting – Kick off the experience with a delicious introduction to different chocolates.
Make & Decorate Your Own Chocolate Lollipop – Get creative and craft a unique chocolate treat to take home!
Fun Chocolate Facts – Children will learn some interesting and fun facts about chocolate.
Chocolate Fountain Experience – Dip fresh strawberries and marshmallows into flowing, melted chocolate.
A Sweet Goodbye Gift – Each child receives a cone of chocolate beans to take home!
Refreshments Included – A Fruit Shoot or bottled water for each child.

Upon arrival, children will be welcomed into our main function room and invited to take a seat, ready for a delicious chocolate tasting session. Next, they’ll create and decorate their own chocolate lollipop, with their name carefully labelled for collection later. While the lollipops set in the fridge, the fun continues with our interactive chocolate fountain, where they can enjoy dipping marshmallows and fruit into rich, melted chocolate.

After learning some fun chocolate facts, children will collect their beautifully set lollipops and a special bag of chocolate beans as a take-home treat.

Sensory Exploration: Your child will embark on a sensory adventure, exploring the delightful aromas of cocoa beans and the smooth texture of melting chocolate. They’ll learn how to taste chocolate like a true expert, identifying the different flavours in every bite.

Create Their Own Chocolates: After mastering the basics, your child will have the chance to get creative and make their very own chocolate lolly.

Hands-On Fun: It’s not just about watching—it’s about getting involved!

Sustainability Awareness: Your child will learn about how chocolate is made in a way that’s good for the planet.

Make New Friends: This workshop is a fun way to connect, create, and maybe even discover a new friend who loves chocolate just as much!

Take Home Their Creations: At the end of the workshop, your child will take home their very own chocolate creations to share with family or enjoy themselves. It’s the perfect souvenir from a day full of fun, learning, and delicious treats!

Have Fun, Learn, and Laugh: Above all, your child will have a blast! The workshop is designed to be both fun and educational, ensuring your little one has a memorable time learning, creating, and, of course, tasting all things chocolate.

Please check in at reception 15 minutes before your scheduled session for a smooth start.

Aprons will be provided, but chocolate-making can get messy! We recommend wearing clothes that can handle a little fun.

The workshop is ideal for children aged 5 and above. Younger children may attend with parental assistance.

Parents are welcome to relax in the Vineyard Café, but if your child requires additional supervision, we recommend staying nearby.

We offer a vegan chocolate option (dark chocolate) upon request. However, we cannot guarantee a nut-free environment due to cross-contamination risks. If your child has severe allergies, please contact us in advance.

There's an outdoor playground for children to enjoy after their workshop for a little run around.

We reserve the right to cancel the workshop at any time should we so wish. In the event of a cancellation, a full refund will be provided to participants.

Additionally, we retain the right to refuse entry to anyone for any reason, and refunds will be issued in such cases.
