Join Alessandro Luppolo for a hands-on, small-group masterclass inside his working chocolate kitchen in Elsternwick. In this immersive experience, you’ll learn how real chocolate is made — from bean to bar — and craft your own hand-painted bonbons from start to finish, taking home a box of your creations (valued at $40) to savor or share.

What you’ll do:
– Learn about cacao, chocolate tempering, and the bean-to-bar process
– Prepare three signature bonbon fillings from scratch
– Paint moulds with coloured cocoa butter
– Cast chocolate shells, fill them, cap, and unmould
– Take home 12 of  your own handmade chocolate box 

Flavours may include:
Salted Caramel, Almond Praline, Espresso Milk Chocolate Ganache

Duration: ~3.5 hours
Location: Alessandro Luppolo Chocolate, 521 Glen Huntly Road, Elsternwick

Aprons are provided. Please wear closed shoes, bring a hat or hair covering, and arrive 10 minutes early. Optional waterproof notepads will be available for purchase if you’d like to take notes during the class.

You don’t need any experience — just curiosity and a love of real chocolate.
