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.

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.

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.

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!

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.

We got to make our own designs and try many different flavours too.

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!

Hannah_H, Oct 2025
We loved this experience! They really make it worth doing. Not only do you get tons of information on the history of the cocoa bean and how they make chocolate but you get a ton of hands on experience. Tasting chocolate of all sorts throughout the tour and experience. Loved picking out our design and creating our own chocolate bar. Bogi was our host and she was excellent! Friendly, knowledgeable and funny! If you’re thinking of signing up, do it!!

Lovely workshop, we enjoyed both making the chocolates and chocolate tasting: had a choice of a lot of novel types of chocolates to try, some very unusual, really liked some and were able to buy them at the store. The workshop was simple and enjoyable. Definitely recommend.

It’s unforgettable experience for adults and kids. I asked my daughter what did you like the most from today and she said the chocolatarium experience ❤️
Marc_O, Sep 2025
Great experience, well worth the time and money. Jennifer was a great guide. Also, walked away with some treats.
Joshua_W, Sep 2025
We took the chocolate making class, which was worth it. Though I will note that "chocolate making" is stretching the definition a bit as you mostly just make a chocolate bar using some tempered chocolate and mix-ins. That aside, it was nice to learn about the history and making of chocolate, which had some hands (and mouths) on portions to it. And they also allowed you to try a smattering of different chocolates of various types as well, including some oddballs that were surprisingly good.

Hands down a highlight during my trip to the UK. So informative and hands on. Not to mention the unforgettable tasting experience.
Laura_T, Sep 2025
This is an educational, informative, fun, and delicious experience. It’s right off the Royal mine so it’s really convenient.
Karlee_K, Sep 2025
I really enjoyed the knowledge shared along the way on this tour as well as the small size of the group. Tasting and creating was so much fun and I left with so much chocolate that I couldn't be happier!! Great job
Ikaika_V, Sep 2025
Having gone on a couple other chocolate tours, this was our best experience yet. We made our own chocolates to take home and that was our favorite part. Lots of options to choose from when designing your own bar. The knowledge shared with us was also very interesting! Some of the things we already knew but a lot of it was interesting facts we didn’t know yet. The tasting we also did was another highlight. We tried some chocolates I never seen as well as tried some flavors that required more of my taste buds than I expected. GREAT EXPERIENCE! Our tour guide was great and knowledgeable.
Andrea_B, Sep 2025
Very good value. Informative, interesting and entertaining. Loved the sampling. Getting to make your own chocs was good fun..!! Well worth the money..!!
Kelli_G, Sep 2025
Come hungry for chocolate! There were lots of tasting chances throughout the experience. Even had a place to secure your things so hands were free.
Susan_H, Sep 2025
This is a fun outing for anyone and everyone. You’ll learn quite a bit about chocolate- from regions to harvesting and processing. Then you will get to create your own chocolate bar. The best part, of course, is the tasting. Lots of good information while you enjoy that as well. Great for all!
Jennifer_Y, Sep 2025
