Be ready to take on the chocolate challenge and embark on a journey that will take you back thousands of years from chocolate to cocoa bean, exploring the rain forests of central America, where ancient tribes discovered the mysteries and power behind the cocoa bean’s humble exterior.

Enjoy a chocolate or two, as you stroll down memory lane, learn about York’s chocolate heritage and the people behind brands such as Terry’s, Rowntree’s and Craven’s, but keep the choccy rustling wrappers on the hush.

From the Ancient tribes of America to York’s historic chocolate past, now it’s time for you to step it up a notch and step inside a virtual chocolate world at the factory zone.  Your all singing super star guide will show you how it’s done with a little help from yourselves of course.

Learn how to taste chocolate professionally and the science as to why chocolate gives us the feel-good factor.  Sufficiently skilled with the know how knowledge get ready to make your very own chocolate lolly, with various toppings such as salted caramel balls, this is stuff of sweet dreams.

For the finale watch the experts at work in their custom made bespoke chocolate demonstration kitchen and yes you do get to taste a scrummy yummy chocolate truffle or two.

A super sweet, fun and fabulous attraction.  Immersive, interesting and informative.  An experience that any chocoholic would love.  Now, don’t end your journey early, as the onsite chocolate café serve up the most amazing chocolate afternoon tea.

Kieran, a fantastic fella, served up our afternoon tea with smiles and could not do enough for us.  Scrummy scones, jam, strawberry’s and cream, sweet caramel slices, chocolate slabs, mouth-watering macaroons, chocolate dip with mini marshmallows and the most dainty and delightful, expertly made in house, chocolates.  All washed down with tea, hot chocolate and some of the fizzy stuff.

Make sure you don’t miss out on your chocolate fix the next time you’re in York and make York’s chocolate Story your must see attraction.

Thank you for reading 😊
