Indulge in Sweet Treats on This Chocolate Tour in Washington

I’ll never say no to a box of chocolates for Valentine’s Day. However, to truly woo me, I’d want that box of chocolates taken to the next level — like a full chocolate-tasting adventure. In Seattle, you will find an experience that chocolate lovers of all ages will love.

Enter: the Walk the Bean to Barventure Chocolate Trail, where for more than two hours, you will get to experience 12 unique tastings from some of Seattle’s best bakeries, cafes, chocolatiers, and restaurants. It’s the perfect Valentine’s Day experience (and a gift much better than a traditional box of chocolates).

You will want to put on your walking shoes and get your taste buds ready for a delicious chocolate tour around Pike Place in Seattle. On this adventure, you will visit eight different establishments and enjoy 12 individual tastings. You’ll begin at Dahlia Bakery, where you can try freshly baked goodies. Then, you'll head to cafes where you can try all types of drinking chocolates and other chocolate treats.

Portions of this unique tour will be in an Italian market where your taste buds can go on a trip around the world. During this portion of the experience, you can sample chocolate bars from countries far and wide, as well as chocolate local to Seattle. And to end the experience, you’ll visit a popular chocolatier with products boasting flavors you won’t easily forget.

This Seattle chocolate tour is approximately 2 hours and 15 minutes. You will walk between the various shops, so good footwear is recommended, but don’t worry about walking too far on this journey. The distance isn’t too long, and you don’t have many steep inclines to conquer.

And while you may just find your new favorite chocolate treat for Valentine’s Day, you’ll also learn a little more about chocolate as you walk. Plus, the groups on this tour are small, allowing you to easily ask questions, get to know your tour guide, and visit new dining establishments. This tour accommodates individuals with dietary restrictions as well.

Whether you are visiting Seattle for the first time or you are an Emerald City local, I recommend you add this chocolate tour to your Valentine’s Day plans. It’s so much better than your traditional box of chocolate and the perfect way to woo that special person.
