Our Heritage

Le Belge began in a family kitchen when Huguette Dumas moved to the Bay Area in 1983 and found American truffles lacking in flavor. To change this, she ordered authentic Belgian chocolate and began crafting filled chocolates that reflected her Parisian taste. Her creations quickly gained popularity among friends and family, attracting the attention of food editors and The Ritz in San Francisco, where her truffles were featured. As demand grew, Le Belge collaborated with local growers and chefs in Napa Valley, further solidifying its commitment to quality.

Our Inspiration

Inspired by Napa’s slow food ethos, Le Belge began crafting innovative Belgian indulgences for the region’s kitchens, vineyards, and hotels. Soon, our locally inspired chocolates became essential treasures of the wine country, loved by gourmands far and wide.
