Private Chocolate Tasting Experience in Ghent

At the end of this interactive experience, you will be a true connoisseur! The Chocolade Ambassade offers unique chocolate experiences, where quality is at its heart. When you step inside our doors, we fully immerse you in the world of chocolate & cacao. We are a couple of Ghent foodies who have spent about 3 years exploring Belgian artisanal chocolate. We have tried over 100 craft chocolate makers. In our shop you find artisanal chocolate from 4 different top Belgian chocolatiers who represent the highest quality of Belgian chocolate: from a 90-year-old family atelier creating traditional chocolate to a new generation of chocolate makers roasting their own cacao beans and creating adventurous flavours!
