Chocolate lovers
come together in a unique space.
An 18,000 square foot warehouse full of chocolate and related products sounds a bit like a Willy Wonka type atmosphere, and that sounds amazing to us! This large space will allow participants the room to walk around, to relax, to participate in on one of the workshops or seminars, or to try a delicious beverage that will rotate with various cocktails at our Drinking Chocolate Bar.
As a bonus in case a gaggle of chocolate lovers arrive by car, parking is FREE! However, we also encourage everyone to be green, avoid traffic, and take GO transit which stops close by at the Long Branch station. Directions are below.
The Small Arms Inspection Building (SAIB) is a historic, multi-purpose building that presents a wide range of arts and cultural programs. Originally designed in 1940, it was used as a large munitions plant for the Canadian Army through the Second World War until 1974 and was the largest employer of women in Canada. The building was designated under the Ontario Heritage Act in 2009. This unique venue provides an open industrial space that will be used to showcase fine chocolate on a local, regional, national, and international level.
