Translate DescriptionSpend an afternoon visiting a traditional chocolate maker in the heart of Florence on this small group tour and savor hand made sweet delights, paired with Italian wines for the ultimate indulgence. IntroductionSpend an afternoon visiting a traditional chocolate maker in the heart of Florence on this small group tour and savor hand made sweet delights, paired with Italian wines for the ultimate indulgence. Today's tour (maximum 12 people) is set in a Cioccolateria, dating back to 1936. You'll view traditional methods of chocolate making before taking your place at the table where a feast for your palate awaits.
Sit back as you're presented with four chocolate dishes: plain chocolate, milk chocolate, chocolate filled with vanilla, and hazelnut creams. Distinguish between the bitter, acidic, sweet, astringent and salty flavors, and note how each mouthful is accentuated by the accompanying local Italian wine. (Children can team their tastings with a choice of either soft drink, juice or water).
The afternoon is not complete without supplementing your sweet cravings with the multiple textures of Pan Forte and Panpepato, two cakes typical of the Tuscan region.

It was so interesting to learn about different kinds of cocoa beans and chocolate types and then to try them out. If you love chocolate, especially dark chocolate, then this trip is a must! 2009-05-27 Ewa B, Switzerland The tasting was really wonderful.

I don't really know what to say for feedback except everything was delicious and, to repeat myself, amazing. I found you gave the right amount of information as it wasn't over done with information which I find usually makes tastings not that enjoyable. I think the location was perfect and really couldn't ask for a better atmosphere. If you do group tastings again, 6 is a good number. It wasn't too big as I feel 8 would have been and it wasn't too small to the point where it was awkwardly silent. 2009-04-10 , United States of America Thank you so much for the amazing tasting.
