YOUR EXPERT GUIDE IS HERE TO LEAD YOU THROUGH THE HISTORY OF CHOCOLATE’S FOUNDING FAMILIES AND THE FASCINATING FACTS BEHIND THEIR FINEST CREATIONS IN THE STORY ZONE
UNCOVER THE CHOCOLATIER’S SECRETS

Also you’ll discover the history of some of York’s most iconic chocolate brands – take a trip down memory lane and reminisce with some retro favourites from times gone by.
You’ll also learn the secret of why chocolate makes us feel so good and why it has an ethical and sustainable future. Then it’s time to master the secrets of the chocolatier, as you create hand-made chocolates for yourself, before seeing how our very own experts do it. Watch our Chocolatiers as they showcase the art of chocolate-making and sample the fruits of their labour: fresh hand-made chocolates.
