Additional Information

Switzerland is famous for chocolate - but its most important ingredient does not grow here. So what is the story behind, and where do the cocoa beans come from? How can we taste chocolate with all of our senses, and what it means to produce it in an ethical way? Join our tour to find out!

Our experience starts with an interactive workshop where you will learn how to taste chocolate like a master chocolate taster. Your guide will walk you through the history of chocolate in Switzerland, challenges in the chocolate industry and you will be introduced to a new generation of Swiss, ethical chocolate makers! After the workshop we take public transportation to our next stop - a chocolate manufactory. You will have a unique chance to observe each step of production and learn how chocolate is made - from raw beans to finished bars. And of course, a lot of chocolate tasting is included as we go! Enjoy each bite with a good conscience! :-)

Excellent tour! - We really enjoyed this tour. We got to taste delicious chocolate but also learn a lot about the process of chocolate making and how to be conscientious consumers. We had a couple vegans in our group and they really catered to make everything vegan so everyone could participate in each part.

The best chocolate tour in Zurich! - We've been wanting to take a chocolate tour in Zurich for a while, but most of them felt very commercial. When we came across the one from DeTours we knew that's the right choice. Diana showed us the way chocolate can be made ethically while keeping the result delicious. A part of the tour was chocolate tasting which we loved the most (for obvious reasons 🤤). It was great to get to know the bean to bar movement and be a part of the change thanks to DeTours. We loved it and definitely recommend it to anyone who is looking beyond the chocolate of the big brand names.
