Overview

Is chocolate a food or a technology? Why does it hold such a special place in cultures around the world? Most importantly: How do YOU like your chocolate?

On this 2 hr 15 min walking tour you'll need all your senses to help answer these questions, and there's no better place to explore chocolate than the city famous for beans that give you a buzz.

Included in your ticket price are 12 individual tastes of chocolate (keep breakfast light). We will visit 8 of Downtown Seattle's most beloved bakeries, restaurants, cafés, and chocolatiers.

Dark. Milk. Drinking. Solid. Spicy. Bitter. Sweet. Nuts. Fruit. Peanut Butter. Mint. And Pure. You will leave this tour filled to the brim with chocolatey goodness, but also a deeper understanding of what chocolate is, what it means, and where it can take us. There’s a deeply human story behind each decadent bite you take.

Like chocolate, this tour is for everyone, so let us know ahead of time how we may best accommodate you.

We hope you’ll join us!

    Having a purpose to walk around the Market. Learning the stories about each shop. Just the right amount of chocolate tasting. Not overwhelming.

    Will was an excellent guide. He was animated, pleasant and knowledgeable. The chocolate tasing experiences were much more than having a bite of chocolate. Liquid, in gluten free pastries, fine chocolate candy.

    Will, our tour guide, did an excellent job guiding us through a chocolate tasting tour. We had all types of chocolates from dark to white to mild to spicy. He was very very knowledgeable on the shops, processes the shops used, the chemistry, the inside information about sourcing and in general very fun to be with. The tour is a lot of walking in hilly Seattle, the pace is not fast though. We felt we could enjoy each stop really well. There were about six places we tried. This is also a chocolate tasting tour, not a tour on shops making chocolate. So bring some appetite and willingness to try a lot of different types of chocolates.

    Live laugh love Ivy! Literally the sweetest and friendliest tour guide ever. She made sure to be super informative about all our stops and even gave more info about the city in general. When one of our stops didn’t work out she brought us to another one that was amazing. It wasn’t all super decadent chocolate which I was appreciative of, as it made the tour overall more enjoyable.
