The Chocolatarium

"This was probably my favourite part of my trip to Edinburgh! The chocolate tour is SO much fun. Our guide, Katie, was really friendly and funny. You get so much free chocolate, hot chocolate, etc to taste. It’s such good value for money, and you even get to take home your own bar you make!! A really great way to spend some time if it’s raining in the city, a real highlight in Edinburgh."

"We attended the chocolate and wine experience on Dec. 2, 2022. The whole presentation was very well done, very interesting, and a lot of fun, and worth the price of the Wine & Chocolate Experience. Our host was wonderful. Very personable and friendly. We are from the Massachusetts, in United States, and this was our first trip to Scotland. We found out about the Chocolatarium on line while searching for things to do in Edinburgh. The tour and hands on participation lasted about 1.5 hours. You got to make your own chocolate candy and take it with you at the end. We had a very nice time there. Thanks to all the staff there. Bob & Sue Massachusetts, USA"

"Chocolate lovers like me will love this experience. Very informative and good fun. You making your own Chocolate and you getting knowledge about history and fun factor. You can taste a lot of sample with different flavours and buy some of them of the end of your tour. Highly recommended."

"Had such a fantastic time at the The Chocolatarium. All the chocolate was delicious - from the rich hot chocolate we were given first, to the ruby chocolate drops we were given at the end. The talk about chocolate was really interesting and timed well. Making my own chocolate was fun and the choice of toppings/fillings was good. They had a choice of milk, dark or white chocolate to make. The third part of the tour was in the tasting room. They gave us 4 chocolates from around the world and it was really interesting to see the differences in their taste. The only chocolate I didn't like was the 100% cacao - it was very bitter. We then got to choose as many different chocolates as we wanted to taste. Some of the flavours were very unique, whilst they had others that were common like raspberry and orange. Very good value for money and a fantastic experience for anyone visiting Edinburgh."

"INCREDIBLE! We loved every single second of the tour, it was better than we ever imagined. A great balance between facts, history and then more practical aspects like the chocolate making and then tasting sessions. All included in the price. So worth the money for sure. Katie was an incredible tour guide. So full of life and kept it super interactive and exciting!"
