A great fun,and informative workshop, about chocolate production. You then get to temper chocolate and make your own chocolate bar which is packaged once cooled for you u to take home. The chocolate is top quality and delicious. We all said we would do the class again on our next visit to York.

It was at i expected. Good selection of chocolate additives. The guide was lovely and informative. I did wish I got told about the ingredients before the flavouring to add for the chocolate, or be given a list, it was hard to choose! You get a discount as well in the shop. Lasted about an hour, got to come back after doing some shopping to collect the chocolates. Class of about 16? Open to all ages.

An amazing attraction! Austin made our tour and experience extra special by explaining the history behind the chocolate factory more engaging. We got to try plenty of chocolates along the way as well!! I booked the Truffle rolling tour as well, meaning we made our own chocolates and got to experience a live demonstration on how some of the chocolates were produced! The shop is also a must-see! The chocolates are incredible and are very high quality! The chocolates in the mini-fridge next to the till are beautiful! I'd recommend doing the tour and truffle rolling, or just popping in and buying some chocolates!!

This was a very personalized experience and we truly enjoyed making our bars and finding out about the different types of chocolate. It seemed much more authentic than the other experiences we saw in town.

Fairly pricey i thought however chocolate tastes amazing and was quite fun making your own, Sam who led ours made it really interesting and fun, possibly more aimed at older kids but we still had good time as adults.

The kids really enjoyed it, and I liked how the teacher interacted with everyone. I learnt a lot and have really enjoyed the chocolate we made although I've not managed to eat it all yet…

Began with an informative talk on the chocolate making process, including an opportunity to taste plain and milk chocolate before making own bar to take home. Group size quite small so not waiting around for a long time. Had a choice of chocolate type, toppings and moulds. Found using a hair drier was a surprisingly quick and efficient method to melt the chocolate. Could collect finished chocolate bar after a 30 min wait. Very well organised and an enjoyable experience,
