Malta · CHOCOLATE & COOKING WORKSHOPS
A bean-to-bar factory in a Gozitan village, and Maltese kitchens that will teach you a proper ftira. These 5 are priced and honest about how much you make versus watch, and which ones end as lunch.
At the Malta Chocolate Factory in San Pawl il-Baħar, a guide such as Emma, Greta, or Renee leads you through four Maltese wines and five handmade chocolates. Expect Gellewza, Girgentina, sparkling rosé, pairing tips, Maltese wine history, and time to shop for gifts afterward.
“Delicious chocolate and interesting wines. Wonderful explanations and great service. A cute shop and nice area.”
At Malta Chocolate Factory, you’ll put on an apron, learn how chocolate is made, and create truffles, molded figures, and decorated treats. English-speaking staff, including Joanna and Jovana in recent sessions, guide you through each step. You’ll leave with chocolate souvenirs, though the one-hour format can feel brisk.
“Was super fun and enjoyable with lots of chocolate being eaten”
At Malta Chocolate Factory just off Bugibba Square, an English-speaking chocolatier guides you through chocolate history, ganache making, fillings, and decorations. You create 12 truffles using dark, milk, and white chocolate, then pack them in a gift box. The one-hour class costs $35 and suits beginners aged eight and up.
“Great fun! choice of different flavour fillings for truffles and toppings to decorate to let your creativity run wild, short fun activity for any age plus getting to take away and enjoy what you have made”
Meet your English-speaking host at Malta Chocolate Factory near Bugibba Square for a one-hour tasting of four Maltese wines and five handmade chocolates.

“Fantastic guid gorgeous chocolate and not shy on the wine felt a little giddy after 😂 highly recommend”
At Malta Chocolate Factory in St Paul’s Bay, you’ll learn cocoa basics, chocolate production, painting techniques, and truffle making. Instructors including Nirl and Emma guide you through the work in English. You’ll make chocolates and truffles, then take your creations home. The workshop suits adults, couples, families, and anyone with a sweet tooth.
“The quality of the chocolate is very nice and tasty and we generally enjoyed the experience. It would have been better (as we were a couple in our mid 30’s) to be seated on our own table, there were 4 unsupervised children under 13 on our table and they were quite disruptive (parents had dropped them off apparently). There were 3 tables put together, so it could easily have been arranged that our table would be separated like others were. It really impacted our experience as the children were so overexcited. The children’s attitude was not the fault of the organiser but the seating arrangements could have been better planned.”
