Tutored Chocolate Tasting Lesson (6 - 12 participants)

Enjoy a special lesson in Chocolate Tasting with our team at York Cocoa Works as we share with you the secrets of tasting chocolate and exploring flavour. Your party will watch our chocolate being made, learn how chocolate is crafted before learning how to explore the flavours of cocoa and chocolate from around the world.

There was once originally 2 varieties of cocoa trees, but now as independent chocolate makers we can work with thousands of different varieties, origins and flavours in the cocoa beans we work with.

Join us to discover just how chocolate is made, how the cocoa we work with contributes to the flavours we explore and how we get that chocolate flavour. We'll then share with your party how to explore the world of cocoa and chocolate with all of your senses as we'll teach you how to become professional chocolate tasters.

Guests will try a range of different chocolates and chocolate making ingredients from the cocoa beans through to the creamier chocolates that the city is now famed for.

Our Chocolate is all crafted in York by our team of Chocolate Makers from sustainable cocoa we source from around the world. During your visit you will be able to see our team at work and have an opportunity to taste for yourself how our chocolate is created.

Our workshops make a perfect chocolate learning experience for families and teams looking for a special chocolate celebration to enjoy together. Visit our Group Bookings  page to find more information and find the right activity for your special occasion.
