Humble Beginnings

We’ve been crafting chocolate in the Central Drakensberg since 2009.

From handmaking chocolate to becoming a destination venue not to be missed. We are now a Chocolate Factory, Chocolate Shop, Restaurant and Coffee Roastery.

Our Team

Each one of us contributes to the magic, it’s all the small things that make our customers smile.

Our team of chocolatiers and coffee roasters ensures the best quality products for our customers.

Nestled in a converted airplane hangar on the El Mirador airfield, within the Berg Air Lifestyle Centre, our unique chocolate destination offers a truly unforgettable experience. Surrounded by majestic mountain peaks, this centrally located gem is the perfect place to relax and savour world-class chocolate in a breathtaking setting.

While you unwind, the kids can enjoy hours of fun in our expansive gardens—complete with toy airplanes to climb on and an exciting zipline adventure.

Come for the chocolate, stay for the scenery, and enjoy a memorable day out for the whole family.​

cup 2

Free tasting, was very informative. Friendly service. The coffee has a real earthy taste. Best sugar free chocolates I've tasted. With every coffee they serve coffee beans coated in dark chocolate to elevate the coffee's taste.
