Sjakie’s Chocolademuseum: take your time tasting

You can eat chocolate quickly. You can also try to describe what you taste. At Sjakie’s in Middelburg, that tasting is part of a visit about the journey from cocoa to chocolate.

Plan your visit ↗

From looking to tasting

According to the museum, the visit starts with a golden ticket with chocolate. The display follows cocoa from plantation to finished product. If you want a more extensive tasting, there is a separate tasting option. Decide in advance which visit you want; the tasting offer is not the same with every ticket.

Find your own words

When tasting, take a small piece and try to find three words for your experience. Does your description change if you wait a moment? Only then compare your words with those of your companion. This is a viewing tip from our editors, not a competition to guess the right flavour.

Children can go looking too

The museum mentions a rebus, bingo and a treasure hunt as activities for children. Let a child choose which detail you look at more closely together. The best follow-up question does not have to be complicated: why do you think this is here?

Before you go

The website gives different visit durations. Ask how much time you need for the tour you choose. Discuss allergens and accessibility directly with the museum in advance.
