Went with my husband to the truffle making experience. A gift for my 60th birthday. Sandy gave an interesting and very informative tour about the origins of chocolate. We got to see/touch the Cacao Pod as he explained where chocolate comes from. We tasted single origin chocolate from 4 countries. Delicious and each different. From 100% to 70%. We were then given the opportunity from Erin to make our own chocolate bars, we chose the shape of the bar moulds and the fillings. Erin then describe how to make and fill our own truffles. Again we chose the fillings. This was great fun and messy! We were then taken to a tasting room to try more truffles, with Sandy who then let us taste more chocolate from an array of various types, from spicy haggis to orange and tangerine and lots of other combinations in between. At the end we were able to look around the shop and buy even more chocolate from a wonderful selection of varieties and makers. This tour is good value considering the content, expertise and amount of chocolate you take home. Yummy! 😋 Thank you to Sandy and Erin for a fun, informative and friendly tour. Also the other tour guests from Spain, Washington D.C. and Minnesota.

What a fantastic evening! Took 18 cubs (8-10 years old) and they and the adults, loved it. Fraser kept them interested for 90 minutes - quite an achievement and they loved making their bars and the chocolate tasting. Thoroughly recommend this for anyone interested in chocolate.

What can I say about this wonderful experience we lived in Edinburgh. Sandi, our guide, what excellent!!! Kind and funny! He really knew what was doing! The whole experience lasts 1 and a half hours and you are going to taste many (really lot) different kinds of chocolate! So be prepared for a unique experience!!! You must book it in advance!!!

A local Willie Wonka experience. Sandy, our host was very knowledgeable and answered lots of questions. Making your own chocolate bar is great fun and the tasting room gives an opportunity to try lots of different flavours and varieties of chocolate from a range of sources. All in all a great fun experience in the heart of Edinburgh

We thoroughly enjoyed the Truffle Making Experience. It was a very rainy day and we were all soaked so the starter of hot drinking chocolate was welcome and delicious. Jennifer taught us about how chocolate is made and where it comes from. The kitchen guide (French dude) was hilarious as well as informative. We really enjoyed our time here. The tasting afterward was delightful. We had a lot of fun.

We are looking forward to Mk Tour so I recommend you to schedule ahead of time, in fact in Edinburgh it is better to schedule everything in time!! the store smells like chocolate hahaha we could not do the tour but the attention and the little we saw was nice so yes I think it is something you should not miss!!

Julie was very informative on the sourcing of the cocoa beans, fair and direct trade. Then going through the entire process from dark, to milk chocolate and white chocolate. It was very enjoyable making my own dark chocolate bar. Then comes the fun afterwards with the tasting of different chocolates. Also browsing through the shop to take home gifts for friends.

We had a wonderful time at the Chocolatarium! The tour is really nicely arranged to give you a great overview of the chocolate making process, and you get to taste a ton of chocolate along the way. The atmosphere was laid back and very pleasant. Highly recommend!

Absolutely brilliant experience, from the easy booking and advice on parking available on the website to the fantastic tour itself. It was informative, fun and very very tasty. Our guide was very knowledgable and made the tour interactive. Perfect for a family visit to a gorgeous part of Edinburgh! Thank you!

We had an amazing time from start to finish. Our tour guide, Lee, gave us many facts about chocolates. She was very informative and friendly. My kids loved the whole experience and I thoroughly enjoyed it too. I would highly recommend visiting the chocolatarium. It’s an amazing experience for kids and adults alike. You get to learn and try ur hand at creating ur very own chocolate bar.
