The Experience You Can Taste
We’ll take you on a journey that spans 4000 years of York’s chocolate legacy, with plenty to taste along the way.
Unwrap The Legacy
We’ll quite literally walk you through the origins of chocolate in York, from ancient rainforests, to the founding families that created the chocolate treats you still know and love today.
You’ll taste your way through history with samples and get hands on creating your own chocolate alongside our talented in-house chocolatiers.
