Brussels Artisanal Chocolate Tasting Tour
Overview
People come from all over the world to taste the famous Belgian chocolate. Join us on this 90-minute Brussels Chocolate Tour as we visit some of the best chocolate shops in the city, for what is surely our most delicious tour!
Rather than the countless average makers filling the city, we take you to royal warrant holders, a world-champion pastry chef, pioneers of ethical bean-to-bar sourcing, and inventive chocolatiers who blend Belgian tradition with flavours from across the globe.
Winding through the medieval heart of Brussels and its elegant glass-roofed galleries, you'll discover how chocolate first reached Belgium and grew into a symbol of the country itself. Along the way you'll enjoy some generous tastings — pralines, truffles and ganache — each chosen to reveal a different side of the craft.
Led by passionate local experts who handpick the finest shops on the day, it's an indulgent journey through the history, artistry and sheer pleasure of Belgian chocolate.
