This week Godiva Chocolatier marked 15 sweet years in mainland China with an extraordinary chocolate exhibition at Shanghai Rockbund Art Museum! ??? The event was a chocolate lovers’ dream, featuring immersive exhibits, a chocolate workshop and stunning chocolate artistry, that whisked visitors away on a journey through the rich history of Belgian chocolate and of everything that makes GODIVA a global icon. As we continue to grow in the region, we’re discovering more about chocolate lovers across Asia-Pacific, offering not just premium chocolates but unforgettable experiences that honour our heritage and showcase our creativity.
