    Full description

    Embark on an interactive tour of a chocolate factory in Edinburgh and enjoy the chance to taste a variety of flavors.

    Learn about the process chocolate undergoes to get from a South American cacao tree to a Scottish chocolate bar. Make your own personalized chocolate creations.

    Step into the Chocolatarium for an immersive experience, perfect for all chocolate lovers. Smell the roasting cacao and see how it is transformed from bitter beans to sweet, smooth chocolate. Immerse yourself in the process by tasting chocolate samples at different stages of production. In the Chocolate Kitchen, choose a bar design, select your favorite flavors, and create your own personalized bar, ready to collect at the end of your tour.

    While you are waiting for your chocolate bar to cool, take a seat in the Tasting Room. Hear all about Scottish chocolate makers, sample fine single-origin chocolate, have a cup of hot cacao tea, and choose your favorite chocolates to try from rows of chocolate-tasting jars.

      Jay was knowledgeable and entertaining! The tasting was a highlight and we even made our own treats. Even my teenager loved it. A great way to spend a short time doing something fun and different than your regular touristy attraction. Totally recommend!

      I would highly recommend this experience when visiting Edinburgh. The factory is tucked away in the city, and can almost be missed. My partner and I really enjoyed this, we learnt so much about chocolate. I loved making the chocolate and trying lots of flavours I’ve never seen before.

      The tour was extremely informative all about chocolate. You were welcomed with a warm drink of thick chocolate, followed by a brief history around the popularity of chocolate around the world. Plenty of samples to taste, plus you make your own chocolate bar to take away. Can’t ask for more! Brilliant
