Combine education with fun in this great chocolate workshop, followed by a detailed Q&A session tailored to your groups' particular interests. Whether you are a group of Transition Year students or an LCVP / LCA group we are sure you will enjoy and benefit from this educational chocolate experience.

As artisan makers of premium chocolate and ice cream, you will get a sense of the level of commitment, effort and skill that goes into a modern-day food enterprise. We make ice cream as a contract manufacturer to other businesses which compete in the national multiples and in export markets, as well as for ourselves (Tipperary Ice Cream).

LCVP At Work

As an award-winning Chocolate & Ice Cream maker, we open our doors to share with you the delights of quality chocolate relish samples of different grades of premium chocolate, enjoy a demo of how different chocolate products are made, see and smell what a cocoa bean is actually like.. and make and decorate a chocolate figure to take home, complete with and safe inside its mould. Plenty of fun, facts and figures for all.

So, whether your interest is from a Home Economics perspective – in the food hygiene and preparation element of the business; or in the business model, production and marketing aspects, we can specifically tailor our workshop for your groups' needs.

    I cannot recommend the Chocolate Garden enough as an extracurricular activity for students studying the Junior Cycle. We have repeatedly turned to the Chocolate Garden of Ireland in County Carlow for our 1st year Business Studies every year as it is just a brilliant experience for our students. It is the perfect mix of a fun activity alongside the learning of the running of a business. From the moment we walk through the doors both teachers and students are welcomed warmly. An hour long presentation on how chocolate is produced and marketed is delivered to the students with many samples of chocolate given out throughout the talk for the students to taste. Read More +

    We visited the Chocolate Garden of Ireland today and did the chocolate making workshop. Our students are in LCA and visited the factory today as part of their science food module. The talk was engaging and informative and linked really well with our work in class. Some chocolate treats were v welcome during the presentation, which was v interactive, the presenter kept everyone's attention and we had a lovely morning. The chocolates were delicious and Mary and Jim were so welcoming and we all had a great time, we will be back.

    Hi Mary & Jim, Thank you so much for having us today at the Chocolate Garden of Ireland. Our 5th year LCVP students attended a workshop today and the workshop was very educational and enjoyable. The visit exceeded our expectations, and the content was very informative and suitable for the group of students. We thoroughly enjoyed our visit and will definitely be returning again next year. Thank you very much
