Smile Chocolate Village

Did the aroma of chocolate ever lead you to a magical village? Here at the Smile Chocolate Village, it’s not a dream, but a delicious reality. Opened on October 1, 2014, this 340 MU village, located just an hour from Shanghai, isn’t your average chocolate factory. It’s a world of pure cocoa indulgence, a testament to “Aficiὀn”, a name derived from the Latin word for “love”. The Smile Chocolate Village is the brainchild of the owner’s son, inspired by his time studying in Boston. He envisioned a place where the love of chocolate and life intertwined, a place where visitors could experience the journey from bean to bar. At the heart of the village is a 156-meter-long, Swiss-made chocolate production line. Visitors can watch the magic unfold from a pristine viewing area, learning about the process through informative displays. Beyond the factory floor, the village offers a variety of experiences. The Coco Forest showcases the cocoa plant, its origins, and the diverse beans that give rise to a world of flavors. Upstairs, in the Chocolate Garden, a European chocolate expert offers a personal touch, demonstrating the art of chocolate making. The Smile Chocolate Village prides itself on using the finest cocoa in the world. And the best part? You can buy the chocolate right here, fresh from the source. From the Aficiὀn Chocolate Power Station to the Aficiὀn Wedding Manor, from the Chocolate City Hall to the Convention Center, every corner of the village whispers sweet delights. Don’t miss the chocolate fountains, a cascade of white and dark chocolate, a perfect ending to your chocolate adventure. The first floor houses a vast chocolate store, a paradise for any chocoholic, overflowing with “AFICION” brand chocolates, a name synonymous with “true love”. Even weddings become a chocolate dream here, with chocolate wedding favors, a banquet hall, and photography services to capture the sweet memories. The Smile Chocolate Village is more than a factory; it’s an immersive experience, a place where the aroma of chocolate fills the air, and every bite is a celebration of love and life.
