I had a lovely experience learning about how we get chocolate from growth to manufacture. Our guide was very knowledgeable. Very enjoyable visit
Interesting experience but not as good as the York chocolate story. It was mentioned at the beginning of the ‘tour’ that it was similar to a wine tasting experience. This was very true! And it was cool trying the different types of chocolate they had. Sampling the different cocoa beans across the equator. But wasn’t much of a tour… also no one was actually making the chocolate/ in the factory when we were touring it. Even if we only were touring the outside! Missed opportunity to see actual chocolate makers at work.
We did the tasting journey today and were thoroughly impressed. Our tasting guide was very knowledgable and friendly during the whole experience. It was great to have the chance to try chocolates from different regions and I would definitely recommend this experience especially if your have purchased a York Pass.
I used our 2 day York Pass which had to be booked in advance We arrived a little early and time for a hot chocolate Excellent talk about where the chocolate beans come from and the process used to make their bespoke chocolate . Great visual aids The tasting session was informative and of course very tasty Time to browse and buy our chocolate for later Who can resist the taste of bespoke chocolate Well worth the time to pay them a visit
The young lady that gave us the tour and tasting was lovely. She was very informative and we loved the tasting! We were a group of seven and we all enjoyed it and bought chocolate and bags of hot chocolate too after our tour.
