I have done a chocolate tour of Melbourne, Australia. It was amazing! We went to 4 places that specialised in Chocolate, we missed one because we were with a school group and were running late.
We started out at Haigh’s in the Royal Arcade, where we tasted dark, and milk chocolate, we tried some of thier best known chocolates- speckles, berry thingys, coated macadamia’s (I think) and because it was my birthday the tour lady gave me a truffle like thingy. My personal fave was the berry things because they were chocolate and fruity and just plain fantastic!
We went to Deva next, Where they practise Cocoa L’art. It’s where they paint on the chocolates. Deva is a new gift for the senses shop located in the Galleria. They don’t just have chocolate, they have perfume, fun gifts, and other stuff as well.
We went to Koko Black next where the manager came out and talked to us abotu the hot chocolate -made with real chocolate, that they sell. This one was quite interesting because you can see the kitchen through the window and watch the Chocolatier make the chocolates.
To finish up we went to Laurent Boulangerie Patisserie where we had a drink- Water, tea or coffee and a cake. I had a trio which was much lighter than it looks.
If I were to recomend anything to any one about to do one of these tours it would be to take a bottle of water with you. Because after a while all you end up tasting is chocolate, and you miss how creamy this one is, or the bitterness of the cocoa and the cream of the ganache.
It was amazing!
