Valentine's Idea: Chocolate Tours

by Willy Volk (RSS feed) on Feb 7th 2007 at 1:55PM

What better way to celebrate this sweet occasion than by stuffing your face with the sweetest sweet on earth -- chocolate!

Every Saturday, Boston's Chocolate Tour takes guests on a trolley ride through Boston's finest culinary landmarks. Of course, guests enjoy a sumptuous array of decadent chocolate desserts from the city's best chefs, and are treated to the history, myths, trivia, and legends surrounding chocolate.
Chocoholic Tours has a variety of options for sampling Melbourne, Australia's rich history and stunning chocolate. Bonus: since the tours are walking tours, you can burn off calories as you consume them!
Join culinary guide/pastry chef David Lebovitz, author of The Great Book of Chocolate, for a chocolate-y exploration in Paris. An expert on the chocolate shops and bakeries of the City of Lights, David treats guests to a memorable tour featuring the best of what France has to offer. Private tours are also available.
Chicago Chocolate Tours provides guided walking and tasting tours of some of Chicago's finest chocolatiers. What's more, they even have a special Valentine's Package.
London's Chocolate Ecstasy Tours offers 4-hour long tours (guided by a Chocolate Ecstasy Chocoholic Guide), through London's side streets and alleys. Participants sample chocolates, enjoy chocoholic chats, take a lavish hot chocolate break, enjoy special prices on the ultimate chocolate luxuries, and receive a goody bag!
One day isn't enough for your chocolate-loving mouth? InTrend offers 7-day Escorted Tours for real chocolate lovers! Spend a week in Brussels participating in chocolate-making demonstrations at chocolate factories, and sample chocolate desserts after sumptuous meals.
Looking for a more affordable option? San Fransisco's Sharffen Berger requires a reservation but offers free walking tours through its factory.

Chocolate tours sound like my kind of holiday celebration. Yum!
