What a great experience.we enjoyed learning about the cocoa and making our own chocolate bar with plenty to add.

Our favourite was the dark with scotch pine and Cadbury chocolate.

A really worthwhile and interesting experience. Kelly was brilliant with our tour, trying the different chocolates with the guided tasting session was the highlight, but we also learnt alot about its origins and varieties from different countries. Was also fun making your own chocolate to take home. Definitely recommend booking a tour if you have a spare couple of hours on a rainy day.

Great experience. The guide for the tour, Emma, was very knowledgeable and entertaining as well. The chocolate making and tasting parts of the tour were fantastic. And the choices in the chocolate shop were unbelievably varied. Highly recommended.
Book holiday-themed wine and whisky sessions in December at least 2 weeks in advance.
