Is your idea of a lazy Sunday filled with delicious chocolates? Ours is! Join us for a chocolate tour in Melbourne on a Sunday afternoon!

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

The indulgent afternoon starts in The Block Arcade (we like to think it was named after a block of chocolate), the most elegant arcade in Melbourne, and home to Haigh's Chocolates. Here we combine tastings with an insight into the history of the family who has dedicated its last four generations from 1915 to the making of chocolate.

A few steps lead us to the Royal Arcade, the oldest arcade in the city, where mythical gods Gog and Magog watch over the chocolate world of Koko Black. Chat to its chocolatier, soak up the atmosphere of this exquisite salon and taste one of their handcrafted chocolates.

The journey continues at Lindt Chocolat Café on Collins Street, the first Lindt salon opened in Melbourne. Learn a little of the long history of this Swiss chocolate company and sample their Delice macaroons and, of course, chocolates – deeeeelicious!

Still on Collins Street, we go to Gânache Chocolates, where you will be amazed and inspired by the beautiful array of handmade European-style chocolates.

What better way to complete the adventure with an afternoon tea at one of Melbourne's cafés? Let's have an indulgent dessert and drink at Olio Cucina in the bustling Block Place. Here the charming staff will assist you in completing the perfect weekend!
