Founder's Masterclass

In this two-hour experience, you’ll immerse yourself in all things chocolate and get the chance to make your own.

Hosted by Gabe Davidson, WCF co-founder and one of the pioneers who introduced bean-to-bar chocolate-making to New Zealand.

This hands-on experience puts you in the driver’s seat. You’ll learn to hand-temper chocolate, choose your own flavours and finish your creation with its very own wrapper.

Along the way, Gabe will guide you through a full chocolate tasting and share the story behind the art of chocolate-making. From sourcing our ethically grown Pacific cocoa beans through to winnowing, refining and transforming them into chocolate. You’ll also learn how to seek out, taste and truly appreciate high-quality, small-batch chocolate.

Once your bars are made, we’ll head next door to Hanging Ditch to meet the bartender and enjoy a complimentary chocolate cocktail or mocktail.

A fantastical chocolate experience, perfect as a gift, with a group or simply as a treat for yourself.
