Tour highlights (itinerary may be changed without notice – read more)

Our meeting place is located on Collins Street, more specifically in a landmark site that won two awards for the most beautiful building in Melbourne in 1930. This was the location selected by Swiss Lindt to open its first Chocolat Café in Melbourne.

Here we are given some tastings from Lindt. On the menu, Delice (the French call them macaroons, but at the Lindt Chocolat Café they are Delice). In Lindt's own words: "Two delicate halves of almond meringue that melt in your mouth to reveal a deliciously rich chocolate cream filling." Superb!

Then the tour goes to The Block Arcade, and Haigh's Chocolates is our next stop. Here we combine delicious tastings with a chat about the history of the Haigh's family, whose Adelaide factory has delighted chocoholics since 1915. Now the tour goes to another sweet spot in Melbourne – Chocolate Secret. Be prepared; you will be enchanted by chocolates in different shapes, flavours and colours.

Australia's Kennedy & Wilson Chocolates, handmade in the Yarra Valley (Victoria), are our next delicious tastings as we continue our walking tour stroll up Little Collins Street. Our final destination is Koko Black, in the Paris end of Collins Street. After more chocolate treats and our favourite drink, it's time to relax...
