We had a great time. The historical presentation was accurate and very interesting. We made our own chocolate in their kitchen. We had delicious hot chocolate to drink. They have a very well stocked sales area with multiple manufacturers chocolates from around the world. An A+ experience.

Fantastic experience, we would highly recommend! I learnt so much while getting to test a variety of different chocolates and even make my own bar. The chocolate expert was brilliant and made the whole experience really fun and engaging.

Awesome

Tania_C, May 2026
Our guide was awesome. She clearly loves her job and I have a deeper understanding and appreciation for chocolate! We particularly loved making our own flavor of chocolate. This is a great experience for chocolate lovers of all ages.

Fabulous experience...

Lisa_H, May 2026
Fabulous experience learning about chocolate and tasting all the varieties. Loved every bit of this excursion.

Worth the money.

Chris_A, May 2026
Enjoyed the tour, but wish they spent more time explaining the process of making the chocolate. The area is small and tight, but got the job done.

Excellent tour

If you love chocolate, this is the tour for you! Kelly was informative and fun and made the experience interesting and entertaining at the same time. A great tour for all ages.

Highly recommend for chocolate lovers

Katerina_B, May 2026
Very cool and you get lots of chocolate tastings. The first thing is a history lesson on cacao with a liquid chocolate sample and I found it really informative. Then there was the chocolate bar making which went through the process and allowed us to make our own chocolate bars with whatever flavors we wanted. Then there was more history but with chocolate samples to go with it and a sample wall where you can taste whatever you like. I enjoyed it all.

Coco was the one showing...

Kim_T, May 2026
Coco was the one showing us around and she was very enthusiastic and made it very fun to learn about chocolate. Making our own chocolate was also really exciting and the tasting room at the end was a nice finish with all the different kinds of chocolate to try

Really fun experience

Amazing tour and wonderful chocolate!

Mackenzie is hilarious!

I’m sure you know you’ll have the opportunity to taste a lot of lovely chocolate but what you probably don’t expect is that the host at least McKenzie in this case are super entertaining funny and important.

This was a great experience in learning about chocolate and making a chocolate bar too! There were lots of different types of chocolate to taste and buy!

Returned a 2nd year .

John_T, Apr 2026
Great fun . Informative. Hands on chocolate making. Plus unlimited samples to try before you buy in the gift shop. It was so good we’ve been 2 years running.

Nicole_L, Mar 2026
Delicious chocolate and overall fun atmosphere! Had the opportunity to learn more about the process of making chocolate and try a variety of different kinds.

Amazing experience

Emily_S, Feb 2026
This was a brilliant experience and I would highly recommend it. We have youngish kids who were entertained thoroughly throughout, but just as good for an adult party. You get to sample a lot of chocolate and they are very generous with samples and when making your own chocolate. Great fun!

White chocolate is the real deal

Talia_W, Dec 2025
We learned a lot about chocolate—it was super interesting and great for kids and adults alike. Our guide, Kelly, was super! Definitely worth the time and money.

Very fun. My elderly mother came with and the tour was just her speed. Plus lots of interesting chocolates to try.

Hands-on, Deliciously Fun

Jane_A, Nov 2025
The chocolate experience was a perfect balance of education about chocolate, hands-on making chocolate and tasting chocolate. Fun and memorable for any age. Our group of 5 loved it!
