Brussels’ most worthwhile workshops connect visitors with the city’s cultural heart through hands-on experiences. The standout offerings include chocolate-making classes where you’ll learn from master chocolatiers in small-group settings. Wine and painting sessions provide a relaxed creative outlet, while market tours paired with cooking lessons offer an authentic taste of local life.
I especially love the chocolate-making workshops – they’re intimate, informative, and you leave with your own handmade pralines. The market tours with cooking lessons are another favorite because local hosts share insider tips while teaching traditional Belgian recipes.
