Seattle Chocolate Tasting Walking Tour

Is chocolate a food or a technology? Why does it hold such a special place in cultures around the world? Most importantly: How do YOU like your chocolate?
On this 2 hr 15 min walking tour you'll need all your senses to help answer these questions, and there's no better place to explore chocolate than the city famous for beans that give you a buzz.

Included in your ticket price are 12 individual tastes of chocolate (keep breakfast light). We will visit 8 of Downtown Seattle's most beloved bakeries, restaurants, cafés, and chocolatiers.

Dark. Milk. Drinking. Solid. Spicy. Bitter. Sweet. Nuts. Fruit. Peanut Butter. Mint. And Pure. You will leave this tour filled to the brim with chocolatey goodness, but also a deeper understanding of what chocolate is, what it means, and where it can take us. There’s a deeply human story behind each decadent bite you take.

Like chocolate, this tour is for everyone, so let us know ahead of time how we may best accommodate you.

We hope you’ll join us!
