Artisan Italian Gelato Workshop (Hamilton)

🍨 Artisan Italian Gelato Workshop – Hamilton, Ontario

Hands-On Gelato Making Class | 2 Hours | Small-Group Experience

Transport yourself to Italy without leaving Hamilton in this immersive Artisan Italian Gelato Workshop, a hands-on culinary experience dedicated to mastering the techniques behind authentic, old-world gelato. Hosted at Chocolate Tales, this small-group class invites you to learn the craft, science, and soul of true Italian gelato from scratch.

During this two-hour experience, you’ll work step-by-step through the professional gelato-making process—learning how ingredient balance, temperature control, and low-air churning create gelato’s signature dense, silky texture. Under expert guidance, you’ll prepare Fiordilatte gelato, the classic Italian milk-based foundation prized for its clean, delicate flavour. From there, you’ll transform part of your base into Stracciatella gelato, folding in fine shards of dark chocolate the traditional way.

Beyond the gelato itself, you’ll also create two warm accompaniments: a rich artisan chocolate sauce and a buttery house-made caramel sauce, perfect for elevating your finished scoops. Along the way, you’ll gain insight into emulsification, stabilizers, flavour infusion, and professional finishing techniques used by Italian gelatieri.

The workshop concludes with scooping, garnishing, tasting, and presentation—then you’ll pack up your freshly churned gelato to enjoy at home.

Perfect for dessert lovers, aspiring gelato makers, date nights, and experiential gifts, this class blends technical skill with pure indulgence.
