Duration:240minutes
This is a hands-on chocolate making experience! Make your own chocolate single-origin, small-batch chocolate from scratch with just three ingredients. You'll go home with a bag of your own mini dark chocolates, an understanding of cacao origins and flavor profiles, an appreciation for bean-to-bar chocolate making, and—of course—happy, chocolatey memories!
This is an immersive chocolate experience that will set you up with the skills to actually make bean-to-bar chocolate at home with your own equipment. We host a maximum of 10 people in this 3.5-4 hour class.
After learning about Raaka and our chocolate sourcing, students dive into tasting cacao beans, selecting a cacao origin to work, and from there will learn about each step we do in production at our factory.
After selecting beans, students will measure their ingredients, sort and winnow their beans, refine their product, (take a break to learn about proper chocolate tasting technique and do an extensive chocolate tasting), and finally, they will temper and mold their bars.
Once the bars are tempered, students will package their chocolate and leave class with greater knowledge and skill of cacao and chocolate-making!
To book, follow the secure checkout process on the website. This will reserve your host's time.
If you need extra help with anything, just leave us a note in the Comments field! We're happy to help with food and venue recommendations.
After you check out, you will receive a confirmation email and a receipt. Very shortly after that, our team will reach out to connect you with your host and help with the logistics and questions!
All prices are upfront. There are no extra charges beyond what you pay when you book. In 99% of cases, hosts won't ask for tips because they're already included in the price.
All activities you see on Spaciously are private. You will get a dedicated instructor. You will also get either an entire venue or a section of a venue to yourselves.
If our calendar allows you to pick a date and time, your activity is available! In the rare scenario that your host has an emergency and can't make the date, it's our responsibility to find you a substitute host or a substitute activity quickly. If you don't like the options, we'll send you a full refund.
We are here to make sure your team gets the event they will enjoy. Helping you find the best activity for your team is the best part of our job. Send us a chat message, a text (415 798-0382) or an email (hello@spaciously.io). If you contact us in the morning or early afternoon, we'll respond in a few minutes.
We work only with highly reliable hosts. Every single one of our hosts is a small business owner. We either saw them in action, received a recommendation from another client or had a personal call to go over their proposed activity. Small business owners spend years mastering their skills. They put great care into planning your experience.
People love when they don't have to go out of their way for team-building. Invite the activity host to travel to your venue by selecting the option "My venue/office."
Some building management companies don't allow certain activities, e.g. cooking if you don't have a kitchen. Make sure you check this before you book.
Most buildings require a certificate of insurance. A one-off certificate of insurance costs ~$150 online, but 99% of the time, our hosts can provide one for free. There may be some back-and-forth with your building management to agree on the coverage, but we are happy to collaborate with you on this.
Refer to the cancelation policy on each listing when you book to see how much time you have to cancel your reservation. To cancel, answer the email thread we will start with you or contact hello@spaciously.io.
Regardless of the cancelation policy, hosts usually allow you to move the time of your booking a bit or to add a few more people. We are very collaborative when it comes to small event adjustments. Ultimately, we all want your event to be successful because we want to be your partners for a long time!
I had a concierge service except the price wasn’t a secret. I knew exactly what I was getting. And the communication was right there with it.
