Your journey through chocolate awaits—Free Shipping on Advent Calendars.
Step into the mist and open the doors of Le Jardin de Cacao—a verdant greenhouse teeming with mystery, music, and holiday magic. Foggy windows glow with golden light while vines curl around wrought-iron rafters, and exotic animals gather to celebrate the season. Hippos hum lullabies while sloths slink through fragrant foliage, and a gentle hush of leaves replaces the rustle of snow.
Within the calendar’s numbered drawers, a world of decadent discoveries awaits. Crisp toffee, chocolaty mushrooms, pistachio bonbons, spicy mango caramels, and wild blackberry truffles—each day unveils a new delight designed to enchant the senses and spark joy. Every drawer brims with multiple pieces, inviting you to share with friends, family, or simply savor all to yourself.
As the days unfold, turn the drawers to reveal a wild assemblage of flora and fauna. On the 25th, the grand finale is revealed: a final indulgence to enjoy together in the heart of the season. This is Advent reimagined—an edible journey through a dreamlike greenhouse where every bite is a passport to magic.

TASTING NOTES
A Guided Tasting of Chocolate
Our haut-chocolat is infused with a healing sound frequency to raise your vibe.
BREATHE
Close your eyes. Take three deep, ujjayi breaths. Listen to the space between thought and prepare your palate to experience chocolate.
SEE
Describe what you see. What is the shape, color, sheen and texture?
TOUCH
Run your finger against the chocolate, noticing its texture and releasing the aromatics.
SMELL
Bring the chocolate to your nose. Close your eyes, cup your hand around the chocolate and inhale deeply.
TASTE
Enjoy your haut-chocolat in two bites. In the first bite, you are just getting to know the haut-chocolat, and in the second, you delve deeper, searching out the aromas and nuances. You become immersed in the experience of the chocolate and the sensations. After you’ve eaten the haut-chocolat, take a breath and taste the air. The aroma should have a long, lingering finish that is layered with perfumed notes.
THE STORY
Long before it became the heart of chocolate, cacao grew deep within the emerald rainforests of South America—sacred, storied, and revered as the food of the gods. Beneath the canopy, nourished by rainfall and birdsong, the cacao tree flourished in quiet communion with the wild.
In time, cacao crossed continents, taking root in the sun-warmed soils of Africa. There, beneath baobabs and acacias, its story continued—watched over by new stewards and stirred by the same warm winds that rustle a zebra’s mane and drift through the tall grasses where giraffes roam.
Each drawer of the Advent Calendar offers not just a chocolate treasure, but a glimpse into this rich, unfolding world. As the days pass, a vivid collage of creatures and botanicals emerges—building to a finale that is both a feast for the senses and a celebration of cacao’s enchanted journey.

These chocolates are so special, that I save the inserted 'menu' to remember the deliciousness of the eating experience. They are my favorite for gifting, but my favoritest for personal consumption!

Say what?
African animals, not a hint of Christmas. They are just standing there, symmetrical, not even wearing clothes..
Very weak effort. No imagination, lack of tradition, simply boring. Not going to buy it this year, even though have been getting it regularly for the kids. Will get a refill.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts. ✨ This year’s Advent includes our signature touches of holiday magic sprinkled throughout, though we know each design and theme may not resonate with everyone. That’s why we’re happy to offer Advent Refill options, so you can continue to enjoy your favorite calendar from past years. Each season brings new chocolates to discover, and we truly appreciate your feedback — and for being part of our Vosges chocolate journey!

I love these Advent calendars and have bought two, with a refill for the first last year. The chocolates are great and I love that there's a big drawer for the 25th!
Major Downsides that I hope Voges works on: refills are 90% similar to the current year's calendar, so it's not really fun to buy a refill and a new calendar. In addition, my first year's calendar's lights and music stopped working for year two (and there's no fix from Voges for this) so it's not really something I recommend if you want to keep using the same calendar each year and getting the same experience. It costs the same as something to use again and pass down, but in practice it falls a bit short. I really hope these things could be improved.
Thank you for sharing your experience — we love that you’re part of our Advent family and that it’s become a cherished part of your holiday tradition. As our Advent legacy grows, our goal with the Refill is to tell the same chocolate story each season, whether you’re refilling a treasured calendar or discovering a new design. We’ve heard your feedback and truly appreciate it. We’re also continually working to enhance the electronics and their longevity, knowing that each guest’s experience can vary. Our team is always happy to help troubleshoot and will be in touch to see if there’s any additional support we can offer.
