Make chocolates yourself: discover workshops in the Heindl chocolate museum!

In recent years, the Heindl confectionery in Vienna-Liesing has not only conquered the hearts of chocolate lovers, but also awakened the curiosity of many visitors. At a praline workshop that was recently held, the participants were able to become creative and even produce delicious sweets. Such workshops are part of the extensive offer that the confectionery has been offering for more than 50 years. Heindl has been producing high -quality chocolates, sugar and joint bears in Willendorfer Gasse since 1967 and has thus combined local tradition and sweet delights.

Managing Director Andreas Heindl, who has headed the business since the company was founded in 1953, proudly mentions the modernization of the old shoe pasta factory, which now fully meets the needs of production. The approximately 12,000 square meter production facility employs around 120 people, seasonally even up to 170, who create the diverse products with a lot of dedication and commitment.

insights into the chocolate museum

A very special highlight is the Heindl Schokomuseum, which has offered visitors an extensive insight into the fascinating world of chocolate production since 2001. Here, the guests not only learn how gela bears and chocolate bans are produced, but can also learn everything worth knowing about the high-quality ingredients that are used in the manufacturing process. The Fairtrade cocoa, which has been used since 2014, underlines the company's social responsibility. The chocolate museum attaches great importance to the use of 100 % Fairtrade-Kocao, which according to palate friend not only guaranteed just prices for the farmers, but also ensures ecological and social standards.

The opening times of the museum are Tuesday to Friday from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. and Saturday from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Visitors can also look forward to an exciting chocolate cinema and various workshops in which children and adults learn to create their own chocolates. Especially for children's birthdays and school trips, there are individual offers that focus on the topics of fair trade and sustainability in a mixture of knowledge and fun.

creativity and enjoyment

The workshops are not only a pleasure for the taste buds, but also offer a great way to live out your own creativity. In addition to classic chocolates, mozart balls and vegan chocolates can also be produced. At the last workshop, special creations such as Sissi Taler and chocolate hearts were the hit, which were decorated individually. Here, the participants also receive information about the various ingredients such as Ruby chocolate, which has long since become a trend in the chocolate world.

For chocolate lovers, there is also the possibility to put your own packaging, which reinforces the personal connection to the sweet delicacies. The passion for chocolate, coupled with a responsible handling of resources and fair trade aspects, makes Heindl a pioneer in the Viennese confectionery industry.

With the combination of craftsmanship and modern chocolate knowledge, the Confiserie Heindl offers a fascinating place to experience the sweet world of chocolates up close.
