DISCOVER THE STORY
OF CHOCOLATE
Our journey begins thousands
of years ago in the rainforests
of Central America, where ancient
tribes discovered the power
of the mighty cocoa bean.
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.
INDULGENCE ZONE
How many KitKats
are made in York
every year?
What makes orange
Smarties so special?
Uncover the
explosive wartime
secrets of our
chocolate factories.
Discover why the
Quakers were so
devoted to the
cocoa bean.
Reveal how the
Terry’s Chocolate
Orange was
pipped by the
Chocolate Apple.
It continues
through to the
18th century, when
it was embraced
by York’s great
Quaker families,
who opened
their own cocoa
houses and
chocolate shops.
Over the next 300
years, the Tuke,
Rowntree, Terry
and Craven families
made the city of York
world-famous for its
chocolate and sweets.
So 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
Our journey continues on the Factory
Floor; you will first learn how a simple
cocoa bean is transformed into the finest
chocolate, as well as taking a look
at the history of York’s most
iconic chocolate brands.

Put your new knowledge into practice in
the Indulgence Zone. Our House Hot Chocolate
is one for the true chocolate connoisseur and our
Chocolate Fondue for Two is legendarily luxurious.
