Overview

Experience centuries of Belgian craftsmanship with this small-group tasting that combines two iconic Belgian products: chocolate & jenever. Indulge in five delicious pairings while gaining insights into these craft products and the artisans behind them.

Belgium is renowned for its craft foods and drinks, but have you tried jenever? Less known than Belgian beer, jenever remains a hidden gem. Though it’s the Belgian ancestor of gin, this unique drink can even resemble whisky when aged. This tasting introduces you to five local jenevers, including a 10-year-aged jenever. We’ve paired them with chocolates from different chocolatiers across Belgium: a great opportunity to explore various styles of Belgian chocolate in a short time span.

About us: our shop offers unique chocolate experiences, where quality is at its heart. We like to fully immerse you in the world of chocolate. In our shop you find artisanal chocolate from 4 different top Belgian chocolatiers.
