Learn, Taste & Create!

Indulge in a sweet sweet Summer at York’s Chocolate Story!

LEARN

Unwrap the incredible story of chocolate – from its ancient roots in the rainforests of Central America to the visionary chocolatiers from York. Discover how the Rowntree, Terry, and Craven families transformed chocolate from a luxury into a household favourite, creating world-famous brands along the way.

TASTE

Taste your way through history and sample everything from ancient Mayan xocolatl – the original bitter chocolate drink – to iconic bars still made in York today. You’ll even enjoy fresh chocolates, handmade by our expert chocolatiers, right before your eyes.

CREATE

Get hands-on with chocolate fun! Decorate your own chocolate lolly (included in the Classic Guided Tour), or upgrade to dip and roll your own truffles. Want the full experience? Join our Chocolate Masterclass and create a range of indulgent chocolates to take home, all under the guidance of our master chocolatier.
