Here, you can experience all the production steps of chocolate making yourself: you will sort and roast cocoa beans by hand, first grind them with a mill and then with the metate \u2013 a traditional grinding stone used by the Olmecs and Aztecs over 3,000 years ago. Using this special technique, you will grind the roasted beans into artisanal chocolate, which you can, of course, also taste \u2013 freshly ground on its own or as hot chocolate at home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The team from Good Chocolate Hub will introduce you to the traditional Mexican way of making chocolate and provide you with fascinating insights: the history of cocoa, where cocoa comes from, and how Switzerland became the \u201cchocolate nation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Metate Workshop is an interactive experience for everyone who loves new experiences, traditional craftsmanship, and a bit of a workout. We offer family workshops as well as adult workshops.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost: <\/strong>85 CHF per workstation (Family workshop: 1 child + 1 adult, additional child reduced pricing, Adult workshop: 1 person)<br><strong>Facilitators:<\/strong> Andrea and Evelyn from Good Chocolate Hub <br><strong>Language:<\/strong> German (English on request)<br><strong>Location:<\/strong> depending on the date<br><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Upcoming dates:<\/strong><br><strong><em>Family Workshop<\/em><\/strong>: Saturday, December 6th 2025, 3-5.30 pm at Stadion Brache \ud83c\udf85<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detours-zurich.ch\/tour\/metate-workshop\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.detours-zurich.ch\/tour\/metate-workshop\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Booking<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Workshop Partner: <\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.detours-zurich.ch\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/www.detours-zurich.ch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer nofollow\">Detours Zurich<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you have any questions or inquiries, feel free to contact us at:&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"mailto:office@goodchocolatehub.org\">office@goodchocolatehub.org<\/a><br>Our Metate Workshop is also perfect as a team or group event \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":3140,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":true},"class_list":["post-3143","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodchocolatehub.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event\/3143","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodchocolatehub.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/event"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodchocolatehub.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/event"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/goodchocolatehub.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/3140"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/goodchocolatehub.org\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3143"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
