Overview

Chocolate is one of the first things that come to peoples' minds when thinking of Switzerland. Yet, most people know little about the story behind each bite. Where do the cocoa beans come from? Were the farmers paid a fair price? How "Swiss" is the Swiss chocolate really? Join our tour to find out!

This experience starts with an interactive chocolate workshop that we co-designed with our partner Good Chocolate Hub - an organization advocating for honest and fair chocolate production in Switzerland. The workshop focuses on topics such as the history of chocolate, sustainability & chocolate, and the cocoa value chain. After this sweet introduction, we take public transportation to our next stop - a chocolate factory! You will meet the local chocolate makers, discover the secrets of bean-to-bar chocolate production and learn what it means to produce chocolate in an ethical way. And of course - a lot of chocolate tasting is included as we go! Enjoy each bite with a good conscience! :)

    We've been wanting to take a chocolate tour in Zurich for a while, but most of them felt very commercial. When we came across the one from DeTours we knew that's the right choice. Diana showed us the way chocolate can be made ethically while keeping the result delicious. A part of the tour was chocolate tasting which we loved the most (for obvious reasons 🤤). It was great to get to know the bean to bar movement and be a part of the change thanks to DeTours. We loved it and definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking beyond the chocolate of the big brand names.
