We did the tasting tour with two adults and 2 kids, 14 and 10. Great value for money, really interesting tour. The kids enjoyed it too. We stopped and had hot chocolate afterwards which was gorgeous. Greg was really knowledgeable and engaging. Would recommend

We booked the Chocolate Manufactury talk and Tasting during our stay in York. I found the talk was interesting and the tasting fun for adults although it was much less focused on young children (under 5) and difficult to keep them occupied. The chocolate tasting was good but only had dark chocolate and didn't include truffles or anything decadent. There was a small discount on the in store purchases although there were no small chocolates or truffles available. We purchased some hot chocolate which was nice but very expensive. I wouldn't go again

Me and my partner came today for the Manufactory tour hosted by Maya, a very friendly, knowledgeable guide. It was a lot of fun learning about the process of the cocoa beans, the different producers and particularly trying the cocoa nibs and guessing the cocoa percentages in the dark chocolates! Would recommend this place and would love to try another soon. Finished with a Quite Dark hot chocolate! Really decadent, plus 10% off in the cafe and gift shop for tour purchasers!
