Melbourne's Chocoholic Tours - Extra chocolate tour (lunch time)

This is an extra Saturday tour; contact us to confirm the tour availability

Chocolate in lanes and arcades (Extra Saturday lunch time tour)
The afternoon begins in The Block Arcade, and Haigh's Chocolates is our sweet destination. Here we combine tastings with an insight into the history of the family who has dedicated its last four generations from 1915 to the chocolate world.

It is time to go to the oldest arcade in Melbourne – the Royal Arcade – and its chocolate hot spot, Koko Black. Chat to its chocolatier, soak up the atmosphere of its luxurious salon and taste one of their handcrafted chocolates (with a Belgian accent!).

A few steps and we arrive at the GPO. The old General Post Office is now a meeting point for fashion and (what else?) chocolate lovers. This is Cacao's address in the city, and we will taste their superb creations in this iconic location.

And when you thought there was no room for more chocolate, it's time to enjoy the afternoon tea! Our destination can the Italian Brunetti, in City Square, or Theobroma Chocolate Lounge, in Melbourne Central.
