Where the gentle waves of Mauritius meet golden shores, Heritage Le Telfair presents a celebration of chocolate that invites both discovery and delight. From March 24-29, 2025, the resort welcomes chocolate enthusiasts to experience the artful transformation of cocoa into moments of connection and joy.
A playful start: vice-versa
The celebration begins with “Vice-Versa,” where traditional dining expectations are pleasantly reversed as dessert takes center stage before savory courses. This thoughtful arrangement invites guests to experience familiar flavors in new ways, adding an element of surprise to the culinary journey.
Mastering the craft
Under the Cavendish Banyan Tree, masterclasses will bring together skilled artisans and curious participants. Guests will learn the science and art behind chocolate-making, from proper tempering techniques to identifying subtle flavor notes. These hands-on sessions connect participants to chocolate’s rich heritage, from its ancient origins to modern expressions.
An immersive chocolate dining experience
Mid-week brings “Tout Chocolat,” an innovative dining experience where chocolate appears throughout each course in both expected and surprising ways. From savory interpretations to classic sweet preparations, guests will appreciate chocolate’s remarkable versatility and depth of flavor.
Local creations: chocolate & Mauritian fruits
As local pâtissiers showcase their “Chocolate & Mauritian Fruits” creations, visitors will witness the beautiful blend of global tradition with local ingredients. Each presentation highlights both chocolate’s adaptability and Mauritius’ vibrant culinary identity.
Grand finale with master chocolatiers
The week concludes at Gin’ja, where acclaimed masters Georgelin, Girard, and Giraud present their distinctive chocolate creations. Their expertise transforms simple ingredients into memorable experiences that celebrate the art of fine chocolate-making.
